the 4.4 was from turbo boost, it's been running at 3.8 for awhile. I've set the bios to default, hit the CMOS reset button, and even taken the battery out to clear everything in order to run at stock settings. Still no luck.
Yesterday I even removed the cpu cooler, and reapplied thermal paste...
If I can't find a solution for this I might have to take you up on your offer.
Yeah, bought a brand new PSU back when I thought my old one was the issue. I tried running the system with the optical drive disconnected, and only one stick of ram, and it still froze. I already got a new board...
The only option I have is to take it to a PC repair store and have them run some tests. Unfortunately I don't have another board that supports that CPU.
Also, ran HCI memtest for almost 3 hours with no errors reported.
Is it really possible for 2 motherboards to have the exact same problem though? Is there any chance it could be the CPU instead? That's basically the only thing I haven't replaced at this point.
Everytime I ran P95 I used "blend". I'll try running it again with large FFT selected.
Also, I...
I ran it off the cd, but since I'd have to actually play a game to ensure a crash, there was only so much I could do without actually installing the OS.
Tried installing Ubuntu but kept getting an error when trying to install the bootloader so I gave up. Ended up reinstalling Windows 7 to another HDD to test things, and it froze again.
I'll test the PC at another house to rule out house wiring since I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
I actually was able to return the board to newegg, got a refund, and bought a brand new board from a local computer store.
I just checked out the other thread. Problem is a bit different but it looks like he hasn't found a solution either for his problem.
I've run memtest before with no issues, and I've scanned all of my hdds. How would I go about stressing the PCIE controller?
I disconnected my cd drive, and ran the system with only one stick of RAM, and only my C drive connected, and still had a freeze. I even tried using the one stick of RAM...
I've tried both 1.65 and 1.5. Never tried high than that though.
When I set the timing to auto, it runs at 11-11-11-28. I've tried running things with both that, and the usual 9-11-10-28
I tried both 1600 and even 1333, and still had freezes, even with everything set to auto. Is it possible the bios are setting the wrong voltages even on auto?
I can strip everything down, but I'd still have to use my video card due to lack of integrated video on my board.
As far as hard drives, I'm using 5 regular sata drives (no ssd). My C drive is a 3TB Hitachi GST Deskstar 5K3000 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822145561). I'll list the other ones if you wanna know about those as well.
As for everything else, I'm using a ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED cpu...
Running NOD32. I tried uninstalling it and just using Windows Defender, but the system still froze.
My previous PSU was a Rosewill Xtreme Series RX950-D-B 950W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182097)
EDIT: I set basically everything in the BIOS to Auto
Out of the 3 sets of RAM I tried, 2 were on the Qualified Vendor List. I wanted to avoid dumping more money into this PC, but if I don't have a choice, I guess I could try another CPU. I just don't want to buy another and that not be the issue.
I only used the older PSU on the previous...
This particular board doesn't have integrated graphics, so I have to use the video card. I've tried running the PC with 1 and even 2 sticks of RAM, and the system still froze. I guess I could try using different slots and see if that works...
Sometimes, when I'm barely doing anything (even when the PC is idle) it will still freeze. Plus, when I tried Windows 8, I was barely doing anything everytime the PC froze.
These are usually what my temps and everything else are:
I thought it was my old PSU that might've been causing the...
1. Bought the PSU brand new last year
2. I don't remember exactly the other RAM I bought. I just remember it was dual channel Corsair RAM
3. Yes, it froze with both Windoes 7 and 8
4. Yes, I updated the bios to the latest version a few months ago
I never get a BSOD, the PC just locks up...
Unfortunately I don't have another motherboard I could try.
I've tried running the PC using the "breadboard" method, with just the main HDD, the GPU, and RAM connected. Still froze
Yeah, I thought maybe the RAM being quad channel could be the issue, so I bought dual channel ram and still experienced freezing. Tried a number of different RAM configurations (lowered it to 1600, then 1333), and I lowered the voltage to 1.5 since I thought maybe 1.65 was causing an issue...
I've been having this issue ever since I built the PC last year. Randomly while gaming, or editing/viewing HD video the PC will completely lock up, causing me to do a hard reboot. Sometimes I'll even get a freeze when I'm not even doing anything. I've tried almost every solution the web had to...
