I just got the QX6700. And after installing it on my BFG 680i board, i begin to suffer random restart. I thought it was a power supply issue, since i originally had a 650w PSU. So I upgraded to a 1000w PSU, but still same issue. I even tried updating the bios, and setting the memory voltage from 1.8 (default) to 2.0v...Nothing works...
When I say random restart, i mean random. I could be doing nothing, or I could be surfing the internet, or running orthos, or prime95, or playing a game. It could be 5 minutes after windoes starts, or it might not restart at all until the next day or two..but eventually it'll restart.
I even tried reinstalling a fresh copy of XP on test HDD, but instead of restarting it would randomly BSOD or freeze up. I'm all out of ideas, I'm not OCing or anything.
I ran memtest and PC-Check and it found nothing wrong. The only error I see from Memtest is when i set it to check (BIOS-All) test under option 3. Not sure what that does but it gives nothing but errors. So I wasn't sure if it was testing memory or something else. Maybe memtest doesn't support 680i?? But default memtest passed without any errors. PC-CHeck passed too, which checks for CPU, motherboard, HDD, memory, stress test, the works..And orthos and prime95 ran fine for a good 1 or so...Please HELP!!!
Oh, also, it works perfectly normal if I turn off 2 of the cores. And yes I've tried using different core setups IE Core 0 with Core 3 only. Also it core temp averages around 49-55C...
