Computer restarting

But reading a bit more about the “Load Line Calibration”, it seems to me it has more to do with regulating Vcore during changes of the CPU load. My computer crashes when it’s under full constant load. At least when I run Prime95 in which case the crashes are very consistent...

Thank you, I will give it a try. I did one quick Prime95 run this morning and it rebooted within two minutes (this is the more common case). Vcore averaged at 1.165854V within +/- 2%.

Computer restarting

It seems that my idle vcore is something like 0.96V. I did one more Prime95 test before I went to bed yesterday. It happened to run 10 minutes and did not crash, but vcore was between 1.152V and 1.184 V (the exact distinct values I saw were 1.152V, 1.160V, 1.168V, 1.176V and 1.184V) averaging at...

Update: After seeing the temperatures, I bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118074 I just installed it, and to my surprise, the problem did not go away. The idle CPU temperature is now around 30C, and when I run Prime95, it climbs to and stabilizes at 50C. But still...

Computer restarting

OK, I think Im finally getting somewhere. Ive just been playing with Prime95 and it seems I can get the system to crash consistently within several minutes. I think when I noticed the issue the first time some time ago I did some CPU stress tests, but not this one. In any case, I think its a...

Computer restarting

Thank you for the advice. I ran again the memtest. Now overnight. It did 10 passes without any errors. Then I reset the BIOS to its default settings and for three days the computer seemed fine until now. It just rebooted again after playing Age Of Empires for about an hour. I'm not an expert...

Computer restarting

Thank you, I will run memtest overnight. Also, I've just reset the BIOS to its defaults to be sure (but I think there was not anything exceptional set before). Regarding the Windows Events; I had never found anything other than: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This...

Computer restarting

Hello, I'm looking for an advice with a crashing / restarting computer. Few months back I bought and built a new computer. The problem is that it occasionally restarts itself. I use the computer about an hour or two every day every evening and little bit more over weekends. This occasional...

Computer feels unresponsive when typing

Thank you for your time and responses. After using the computer for two weeks or so, I concluded it was indeed most likely spoiled by the ThinkPad keyboard. I tried some other keyboards with the computer until I found one that did not seem clumsy and slow. I usually try not to customize or...

Computer feels unresponsive when typing

Hello, Ive been using a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop for about half a year, now I was going to switch back to a desktop, but I find it almost unusably unresponsive when typing on it. I think the problem is that its most likely an immeasurable lag, but its a borderline case which drives me mad. It...
