I'm having a couple of problems with my new build and i'm not sure whats causing it,
It will randomly freeze / lockup, the keyboard and mouse lights go off and requires a hard reset to get it going again, It will also reboot without warning, Both these problems can happen twice a day or twice a week and only seem to occur when doing general stuff like surfing the net, I haven't had any problems when gaming (inc online) , Nothing has been overclocked, the only changes made are latest 0401 bios and the ram is set to XMP in bios (asus list this memory in manual as fully compatable) , also ran memtest for 5 hours without any errors , All temps seem ok and no related errors in the event logs, Could i be looking at a bad board here?
 
Check the voltage on your memory. Even if its set to auto, it could be a problem, it was for me with my sig rig. The auto setting didn't seem to work. It's set now to 1.92, OCZ rates the maximum for my memory as 1.95. Check Corsair's site and see what the maximum rating is. 1.9 should be good however.
