Hi Guys,
Kindly help. I've been using this new system for one year without any issues.
However, since last week it freezes after around 30-45 minutes of usage (even if no applications are running). Nothing works (alt-ctrl-del) etc. and the only way out is to power off and restart. It also freezes on the bios screen if i leave it for 45 mins - 1 hr or so. Also, after i restart when its hung, it'll work for 5-10 mins at max.
What i've tried so far (without luck) :
- formatted C: and reinstalled windows
- updated bios from the net
- tried each of my 2 ram chips individually
- changed hard drive
- disabled the cpu thermal monitor function & intel c state in bios
I ran the Asus check tool and it only alerts me with the MB temperature i.e. around 50C / 122F (the SMPS fan and processor fan are working fine)
My system config (im amateur so sorry if i lack any info, pls ask me ) ---
running Win XP sp3
ASUS P5QL-CM motherboard with Intel G43 chipset
Seagate 500 GB sata HDD
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.8 Ghz
Count: 2
FSB speed: 1066 Mhz
RAM: Kingston 2GB (2 X 1gb chips)
Cache1: 64KB
Cache2: 3072 KB
ratio status: unlocked
ratio actual value: 10.5
CPUID: 1067A
some of the bios settings by default are:
Ratio CMOS setting = auto
C1E support = enabled
max cpuid value limit = disabled
cpu tm (thermal monitor) function = enabled
execute disabled bit capability = enabled
intel speed step tech = enabled
intel c state tech = enabled
AI:
overclocking = auto
dram freq = auto (options: 667/800/1067)
memory voltage = auto
nb voltage = auto (options: 1.1/1.198/1.3/1.388)V
cpu voltage = auto (options: 50/100/150)mV
Power:
onboard lan = enabled
suspend mode = auto (options: s1 pos/s3)
acpi 2 support = disabled
acpi apic = enabled
restore on AC power loss = power off
Hardware Monitor:
cpu temperature = 53C / 127 F
mb temperature = 50C / 122 F
cpu fan speed = 1527 rpm
cpu Q fan control = enabled
cpu fan profile = optimal
Chassis fan speed = n/a
power fan speed = n/a
Vcore voltage = 1.23V
3.3V voltage = 3.344V
5V voltage = 5.120V
12V voltage = 12.144V
any help will be highly appreciated.. thanks so much.
