    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    October Update: Crashes never really left. I have tried replacing CMOS, resetting CMOS battery, updating BIOS to newer Beta version, trying to boot to backup BIOS, nada. It got to a point where I had trouble even POST'ing. I took out two of the four ram sticks (I was running 4x4GB), so I am...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Wanted to provide an update, I used a PSU tester and it passed, all voltages within range. I've replaced the CMOS battery and have backed the RAM down to 1.5v. So far, it's been a few days without a crash. I've gone this far before (in fact went a month or so between crashes at one point), but...

    Sounds pretty similar, how were you noticing he instability? Hard crashes / hangs like mine?

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    I haven't ruled the PSU out yet. I wanted to test voltage at the Mobo where it has testing points, then, depending on that, potentially send in to Seasonic. I've needed the PSU so haven't been able to be without it. Is it worth testing at the Mobo, or should I just send it in when I can?

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Since just prior to the reinstall of Windows a month ago, I have removed the OC. All of these crashes have continued to happen under stock/default settings. The RAM has been at 1.65v throughout though. All prime testing and furmark were at stock settings. I can use a multimeter on the Mobo to...

    So, if I back the voltage down, do I drop the speed down a setting as well? I will try the GPU as well, I've just gamed on/off and took a week or so for first crash, but crash occured at desktop. I also will try another GPU and PSU that I will be getting my hands on soon. I won't change...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Roughly two week later update: I went a week or so after this post with no changes and not a single crash. Then, a few crashes in a row a few days ago. I noticed on some restarts that it would hang at BIOS, so I changed the switch on the BIOS to load to the alternate / back-up BIOS. Still...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    I'm on my phone so it's tough to see details in that photo. Were cords clipped by a fan? Right now I am at 18 hours of uptime, haven't made any changes. I cannot figure out what causes the crashes and why they seem to be grouped together at times then two weeks of nothing then ten crashes in...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    I could drop the RAM voltage down, what type of problems would occur from running it at 1.5v from the RAMs point or view? Should I try to lower the speed at the same time to accommodate the lowered voltage? It's also 4 sticks at 4gb per, so that may mean 1.65v tomes 4, although I'm not...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    I actually just spent some time with Seasonic's CS Rep via chat, who was pretty helpful. Seasonic will accept the PSU (shipping is on me), test it and will either send back if working or send a replacement if not. So for $10 bucks (shipping), I could rule the PSU out. My buddy's system is...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Just about hit 4 hours and crashed. This time, the computer shut itself entirely, booted for a second, then shut off, then booted again to Windows. I am thinking this is PSU. SeaSonic has a warranty on this still, but I guess I am out during shipping time if they even warranty this.

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Right now I am on about 4 hours of up-time, no crashes. When I wrote this thread the other day, before changing the C-states, I was crashing at least once per hour or so. Sometimes I would get 3-4 crashes in five minutes, but I was never able to sync the crashes with any specific behavior. Is...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Interesting. This PSU is 2-3 years old, I could look into ways to verify voltage outside of the BIOS readings. I assumed that PSU issues would show up when I was stressing the CPU and GPU at the same time, but that obviously could be a wrong assumption. Did you test that way as well?

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    I have not tried replacing the CMOS battery. I have reset it in the past, but by replace do you mean install a new battery? I could try that. The C-states setting has been changed, as well as any option in the BIOS that states it modifies voltage / changes clock speed for power reasons. I've...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    Had sporadic crashes yesterday. Noticed that there was an intermittent issue coming out of sleep where the monitors would not turn on, so I disabled C1 / sleep settings in BIOS and am so far 10+ hours of uptime with no crash yet.
