Hey guys,
This is happening with my desktop.. The screen turns green and after a few seconds it restarts itself. It seems to be happening at random times. I already ran memtest, prime95, and orthos for seven hours each and it was stable through each. It was also fine when I played Crysis for six straight hours when I bought it :rolleyes:. It almost always happens when I'm using photoshop or just browsing

What do you think is happening? My friends are saying it's either the power supply or the video card.. I'm going to bestbuy to see if I can find a 4850 with the 25% off deal
Thanks!
 
I wouldn't rule out a driver/software issue either. Try throwing in a live CD and see whether it happens there too. PSU and GPU are possible options as well. Time to eliminate some possibilities :)
 
I haven't replaced the video card yet, but..
I just looked at hwmonitor and it's saying that AUXTIN is at 127° c.. what's auxtin?
Also if hwmonitor is right then my cpu is idling at around 85°
edit: wait, in speedfan core0 and core1 show 85 but it also shows the cpu reading 53??

:rolleyes: damnit..
It's weird though, after running orthos for a bit yesterday the temp went over 100° and then read as -26° and it was stable for a couple of hours. Then just today I was reading the hardocp 4800 review and the screen goes gray this time and then the computer restarts after a few seconds.
 
thats too hot. are you oced? stock cooler? sounds like it. if so, drop the oc to stock.

if your not OCed or you have an aftermarket cooler, reseat that hsf with as5! I used to cover the entire Integrated heat spredder with paste, but learned that a small drop bout the size of a grain of medium sized rice in the center is all it takes to get best results. trust me.
