Hi
wasn't sure if this is a mobo problem, RAM or CPU issue, and am pretty sure it isn't a power supply problem. I have only noticed it happening after closing Firefox or Prime95 (after a stress test). Upon closing these apps, the screen goes black and the computer reboots. I have tried to duplicate the problem using Aquamark and 3dmark, but no problems occured although I tried a few times. I have gotten a fatal error message a couple of times after reboot- after doing the report to Microsoft option, the resulting information from Microsoft (via IE) is that there is some unknown driver problem. Thisis a brand new build, so I am not sure which part it could be.. or if it is just a driver issue like Microsoft says. I have updated all my drivers but no cheese. I am wondering if it is a compatibility issue with the x1050 GPU I have as I have noticed some people have complaints with it being unstable with XP (seems that these budget cards are marketed as Vista compatible )
Here is the build:
Biostar NF520-A2
X2 4400 (AM2)
2 gigs Corsair XMS
200 gig Western Dig WD2000js
Antec Basiq 500 watt
Radeon x1050
thanks
edit: for \got to mention: upon any reboot or start, after the POST it states "k8 npt data change. update new data to DMI"
