Hello, I got a problem with my computer Oftest reboots or Freezes now ant then, I include a detailed list of everything I think you need to know below
Here's my current setup:
Hardware:
Intel LGA 775 Core2Quad Q9400 Non-clocked
2x2Gb RAM kit Corsair Art Nr TW3X4G1333C9DHX
Tagan 800W PSU(with up to 64A output) (Also grounded with the included cable onto a screw on the Mobo)
Asus GTX260 (Running 16 I think)
Asus P5Q3
Cooler Master 932 High Air Flow(Case)
WD 500Gb HDD
Just another Drive, 16x
BIOS:
DRAM Frequency: 1333MHz
Timing: 9-9-9-24
DRAM Voltage: 1.66V
Other Information:
While running Prime95 and a monitorprogram called CPUID, No cores ever have their Temprature over 60Degrees(Celsius)
If might be a cable problem, as it's my first build, something might be wrong, tho it seems to be correct.
During the first formattingprocess of Windows XP on the machine, the Computer froze during the third part of the process(after creating Partitions and after the procedure first aproximated to take 40mins, but usually takes like 10, no idea what it's called)
The machine is running more stable while using 1.66V on DRAM than 1.6, so I am running with 1.66A at the moment.
After a memorytest, the RAM's(as I understood it) was just fine.
THe RAM's is inserted in the Black ports on the Mobo, Called A1 and B1, there's also two orange, A2 and B2, which I havn't tried the stick in yet.
The Problem:
The computer either Reboots or Freezes(Mostly when more than one program is running)
Question:
What could I possibly have done wrong? And how may I Solve it?
Additional Info:
My brother had a similiar problem to mine, mostly when someone stomped the floor or the machine in some way was shaked, although as he got it repaired(he bought it, guarantee used) they said it was a cableproblem and they just changed it, and now it works just fine.
The Jumpers is set to their Default Settings
The Monitor has no drivers installed, and shouldn't need any. Asus VW225N 22"
The Air Circulation in the case is very good, so there's probably nothing overheated( Althought I don't know what the GPU should be as max, it's a bit warmer than I thought)
Reformatting didn't solve the problem
The Reboots oftest comes in games
I got BlueScreen three times, althought it only showed for a second before it dissappered.
Every part in the computer is bought on the same day
All drivers has been reinstalled many times, and Express Gate is also installed
I might have forgot any info that you need to know, but just tell me and I'll tell you
Thanks alot for you wonderful Knowledge!
Regards and many Thanks
Filip
PS: I have read through the entire post with rebooting and casual problems, and I can't run the Memtest, as I got no program to burn and I am not willing to pay for any
