I am having the same issue. Running quad core Q6600, EVGA 512MB 8800GTS, P5N-E mobo, and G Skill 4 GB. The computer is completely fine when running stability tests, and can idle in a game all day long, but when I play crisis and other demanding games, my computer will randomly restart with no...

well i tried talking with ECS support through their website, and they are not really helping. They are just basically saying that I shouldnt be playing with this if I want my computer stable. Not a help at all....

right, well I dont want to go buy a new mobo right now. has anyone heard of this happening before? insight is really appreciated. thanks!!!!

hmm any ideas anyone? I wonder if others have ever experienced this? Thanks

Yes, when i check the health status in the bios the voltage there is not increased either. The programs have been reading the voltage correctly. I also tried SpeedFan as you suggested, and it reads the vcore as 1.31 as well.

Here are my current specs: Motherboard: ECS Nvidia Nforce 570 SLI Processor: Pentium D 805 Dual Core 2.6GHz oc'ed to 3.4GHz Memory: 2 GB DDR2 OCZ 4-4-4-12 Case & Cooling: Aspire Green X-Cruiser with Air Cooling - 5 fans Power Supply: Ultra X2 550W PSU - Titanium w/ UV Blue...

Hi everyone, I just got a 7900GTO, however because I have only an AMD Venice 3000+ oced to 2.25GHz, my 3Dmark06 score was not where it should be according to the hard forum charts. My 3DMark score at stock GTO speeds was 4697. I oced the card to GTX speeds and my score was 4866, not too...

allright, i have an update. i figured out the problem. i had my amd 64 3000+ overclocked to 2.3GHz with ram timings at 2.5-3-2-5. i played around with the oc and now, i am running at 2.25GHz with 2-3-2-5. somehow the first overclock was affecting the PCIE slot. My new...

nope, it is in the correct slot. I have had it running at 16x before. There is something causing some glitch, and it just changes randomly. well previously i had a 6800GS which i had running at 16x, though i had this problem then too, once it changed to 8x, but somehow it went back. it did...

CPU-Z is showing my PCI express link width as 2x, when it should be 16x. What is going on? I have a 7900GTO on a Biostar n4SLI-a9 mobo. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

thanks for that link lazn. I was originally going to buy this high point rocket raid card http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/918/1/page_1_introduction/index.html i saw benchmarks that showed intel and nvidia were better for raid then this card... and even saw that nvidia was better for raid...

thanks for the replies so far. i will be putting the OS on a seperate drive. brothernod, i dont want to use windows xp raid. I am wondering if I was to do software raid provided by the motherboard, which chipset it better, intel or nvidia?

i want to do RAID 5 in the new system i am building. i am wondering what chipset is better for raid. is either known to out perform the other? I know i could just get a raid card, but i really do not want to spend over $200 which leaves me with not many options. i have also read some reviews...

i guess no one knows anything about this? or maybe there was too much to read? heh

I have an AMD athlon 64 3000+ overclocked to 2.3GHz on a BioStar n4sli-a9 mobo. I am trying to push this to 2.4 and need to raise my voltage to accomplish that this point. I have pretty much come to a point where some problem with my voltages are being limited. Basically, the voltage...
