Hi all,
I just got done completing my 2 identical builds for project stackers. However, one of the computers seems to be having an issue. Naturally its mine >.<;
Here are the specs:
AND FX-53 939
MSI Neo2 Plat mb
512x2 Crucial Ballistix PC-4K
Antec Neopower 480
ATI X800XTPE (real)
Sound Blaster A2 ZS
XP All patches with the exception to sp2
Everything is running STOCK, no OCing.
Here my problem:
Reboots. This is the biggest problem now. The computer will just up and reboot on its own, as if I hit the reset button. It does it when in games, it does it when im just browsing file folders. Happens several times a day.
What I've done:
I ran MemTester, and it reports an error every 100 cycles or so. I contacted Crucial and they told me to get DocMem and test with that. I did get it.
DocMem ( from http:\\www.simmtester.com ) is free and is a bootable tester. It does many kinds of tests. It ran over 22 hours burnin looping with not 1 error. So, according to crucial, my memory is really ok.
I loaded MSI PCAlert 4 to monitor MB temps. As soon as it initialized, it was giving me undervoltage warning on my 12v+ rail to the MB. (the 4pin square one). It was giving me a reading of 1.98v, which didn't seem right at all. Would the system even boot if it were that low? When I reboot and check the volt in the bios itself, it is well within target @ 11.70v. I watched it for over 10 minutes and it never dipped below 11.69 and never higher than 11.72 so I don't think that is the problem either? I think PCAlert doesn't seem to be reading it right... I think?
Here are my specs when I check them in the MB Bios:
Temp CPU: 56c
Temp System: 22c
Vcore: 1.47v
3.3v: 3.07
+5v: 4.95
+12v: 11.70 * PCAlert4 says its @ 1.98, bios says its stable @ 11.70
Fan speeds seem within spec. CPU Fan is at 6K.
CPU Clock: 2412
DDR Clock: 200
MB Bios 1.1
Video Card drivers are the 4.9 cat drivers only, no control center. The GPU has been very stable since I did this without the CCC.
I am going to reformat again, just to make sure I didn't get a buggey, and I need to do it again for testing anyways.
What the heck could be going on? It's driving me nuts.
