System restarting when extracting rar file. PROBLEM RESURFACED :|

[cytg111]

Thanks for pointing out this. I think this is it. The previews building ran without a hitch for 8 hours or so. The core temps were hovering around 55-60C. There is a turbo mode in the bios which is defined as :

Allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the base operating frequency when it is below operating power, current and temperature specification limit.

This was turned on and the setting was buried under internal CPU power management. I disabled this and the target clock speed changed from 4.4ghz to 4 ghz!

Again thank you everyone for your help. Think I should be good now...hopefully!

I am glad if this works for you, though the chip and cooler should be able to hande MCE, and in any event just throttle rather than just bailing out.
