Re: Random Reset Problems

What settings are you using in the MIT Section?

This is your memory correct? >>
OCZ Technology | Products | Memory | OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Vista Performance Gold 4GB Dual Channel

Please give me your settings you are using >>

This is Just a template I use to ask people their settings, pay no attention to the numbers in it, replace with yours

Code:

Unfortunately the BSOD happens so fast I don't get anything - I could attach the minidump is you like?

Anything you could help me with would be great.

Many thanks :)

Re: Random Reset Problems

I have a similar rebooting issue with my NEW buid. I get a minidump the machine tells me that windows has recovered from a serious error after rebooting. I have minidump files that I will post if that helps.

My system has never crashed while I was using it. It always seems to happen if I leave it on overnight or during the day and I see the BSOD when I come home.

Re: Random Reset Problems

I ran memtest with no errors

**navinag** · 03-16-2009, 12:05 PM

Re: Random Reset Problems

I am also running the latest Bios for MB F8

Re: Random Reset Problems

Any more ideas? Any help would be great :) Thanks

Re: Random Reset Problems

I would suggest that you first start with cooling. Make sure that all your vents are open and airflow is not being blocked.

My issue ..I think was that my GPU was not venting air properlty. As a result, the area under my GPU and all the components were overheating. That is my theory. I am still validating this.

Here is my other post:

TweakTown Forums

http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/random-reboots-31036/index2.html#post289750

It outlines the things that I looked and perhaps it can help you.

Acouple of things that I did were

1. memtest86 (bootable version from Ultimate boot CD)
2. hardrive diagnostic (Seagate harddrive utilities)
3. stress test for video card (I forget what this one was called. Google it)
4. stress test for CPU/memory (prime 95 (blend option after installing) )

I was running the Video card stress test while running prine 95. I maxxed out my 4 core temps @ ~70'C and my GPU got up t0 81'C.

Non of these tests found any failures......
Overheating can cause some weird behaviors and apparently hard to debug.

Re: Random Reset Problems

Thanks for the suggestions - will try. Is so frustrating!!!!! AHHHHHHRRR It puts you off building your own system

**Lsdmeasap** · 03-23-2009, 04:18 AM

Re: Random Reset Problems

How long are you guys running memtest, and is it the latest Memtest86+? >>>
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

5-10 full passes or overnight would be advised

Duffer, please fix your settings, I cannot read that at all and am very busy so I cannot edit it for you right now. Those settings you say you do not have are in the advanced page of the BIOS not the MIT Section, FYI

To be able to see the BSOD Codes you need to disable automatic restart by doing the following >>

1. Right-click on Computer, select Properties.

2. Click Advanced System Settings.

3. On the Advanced tab, under “Startup and Recovery”, click “settings”.

3. Under “System Failure”, uncheck the box next to “automatic restart”

Then on your next BSOD your system will not restart until you manually do it. Please note the code (0x00000000) and any message about drivers you may see as well

@ Navinag

Please give me your full settings and I will see if anything looks out of the ordinary. I can tell you if you are using all Auto or defaults then that is likely your issue since you have 8GB of ram

Re: Random Reset Problems

Lsdmeasap,

I have not had any issues since I fixed my cooling. I posted the results earlier in this thread. Thanks for getting back to me though.

**navinag** · 03-23-2009, 09:45 AM

Re: Random Reset Problems

I thought I posted it. This is the other thread.
