Twice in the last few weeks my computer will reboot itself while Im searching the web or playing games. At first it reboots and windows comes up, then it reboots again and brings up a screen that says my Dram is too tight or wrapped too tightly. I have no idea what this means or how to prevent this from occurring again. This is my build right now
P4 2.4
Msi I865 Neo Sata motherboard
1 gig corsair select sdram 3200 I believe
Geforce 5900x vid card
120 gig Seagate Sata Harddrive
350Watt ps
1 cd/dvd player that hasnt worked in a bit
1 Plextor cd/dvd burner
Windows XP os
Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Do you have anything overclocked?
It usually has to do with memory timings. If you have anything overclocked, back it down to stock and see if that helps. If everything is at stock, you might try re-seating your ram. Otherwise, I don't really know, other than making sure your bios settings are correct.
 
I dont believe anything is overclocked. I was going to switch one setting down to 32 from 64. Dont know if that will help.
 
If your BIOS has a "Load Failsafe Defaults" option, you could try that. If the fault goes away then it was likely an incorrect setting in the BIOS. Also right click your My Computer Icon and select properties. Go to the advanced tab and select settings under startup and recovery. If there is a checkmark for automatically restart on a system failure remove it. Instead of a reboot you may get an error message that may help you sort it out.
