Well i'm in about the worst situation ever. I built 5 boxes for friends going off to college. All of them exactly the same.
Asus a8v deluxe wifi edition *rev 1*
athlon fx-53 939 cpu
evga 6800GT
2x512 corsair 3200xl pro
audigy 2 plat
nec 2510a
2x200 WD sata drives
and a Leaktek WinTV expert....
Anyway, 4 of the boxes have been flawless, but one i've lost all patience on. It works flawlessly on and off, and then goes into spurts where it might as well be a paper weight....
What its doing can be a laundry list of things
It use to just freeze and discolor slightly, then bootup sometimes with a discolored asus logo and have to be turned off for awhile
Recently it developed this .... just randomly restart thing.... doesnt really matter what you are doing.... he just restarts
and most recent is the coolest.... it bogs down, hangs for awhile, the monitor flickers out... then it comes back and is fine for a few seconds... bogs down, and repeats cycle... eventually leading to a freeze.
The box is like a sports car and runs HL2/Doom3/Anything perfect when it wants to work, then completely craps out later.
I've already RMA'd/reinstalled Ram, Motherboard, Harddrives. I've switched out the graphics card as well as removed soundcard. In any setup ive tried, problems still exist. Pretty much the only thing i havent switched/rma'd is the FX-53.... i guess what im getting at is has ANYONE seen ANYTHING remotely close to whats happening.... and what was there solution? I've been fighting this computer for several months now... and ive almost lost hope.... any help would be appreciated.
