No and it's a completely new rebuild, I thought it was a trait of my old PSU but I just got a brand new Corsair AX860. This has happened since new 5 years ago then I noticed it was only my PC doing it, it's an EVGA one of these http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/132-bl-e758.pdf. I have...

After pressing the power button, the computer will start, then it will stop booting, then a few seconds later it will continue booting up with no issues. I don't see any problems once I am in Windows,but does anybody know how to get rid of this?

Problem solved, my set up is an X58 with a 920 CPU Windows 7 64 bit, I'm lucky I have 2 GPU's and 2 CPU's the CPU I had put in it was a new one I have just purchased which is an highly overclockable one, well the memory controller which is on the CPU is dead on channel 5. Pleased it was hardware...

Well after more investigation swapping and testing memory, I find there seems to be some problem with slot 5 as whenever I put any stick in there it doesn't work or show up as PC is booting and I pause at ram counted, strange because if I let it boot it says memory is there but does the hardware...

Just rebooted and now it's took 4105mb all of the 9 gb is showing in the resource monitor and in cpu z.

Hi there somehow my PC has gone mad, windows 7 64bit 9gb ram and showing 3081mb hardware reserved, this is a clean install yesterday because I noticed it had reserved 6gb out of the 9. Never seen this before any idea's please?

Hi Kemical That you for the link it was that:-) EVGA are complete stars, they looked at my diagnosis and then found it was out of warranty because I didn't register in time, but they somehow changed the date so I have full warranty and have issued an RMA already!!! All I need to do is to take...

Hi Kemical I'm getting closer I think, I have found my Vcore to be moving around and down to as low as 1.06v . I ended up doing another install yesterday as it blue screened so many times I couldn't get it going in the end. Another thing has cropped up on rebuild I have error some updates were...

Hi Kemical Finished up 27 hours of Memtest with no errors then downloaded the Intel CPU tool that has come up with no errors. I'm going to run it for a while with the new Ethernet driver you discovered for me and see what happens, I will be back as soon as it either crashes or is OK. Many...

Hi Kemical I notice you had similar problems with a 5870, I thought it was my graphics card as the first signs I got 5 years ago was like a corruption on the screen when booting up which if left for around 10-15 mins corrected itself and worked normally. Then it started the BSOD it often...

Hi Kemical Gosh I'm so grateful you help people like me, that's an awful lot of your time all I can say is I truly appreciate it. I have done the driver from realtek following your link and left the Nvidia driver alone until you came back to me so I will not touch that one. I did Memtest last...

Thank you Kemical I have updated the Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet with the driver you supplied Thank you, I also looked at the Audio drivers and found they are operated by Nvidia I have not changed them but on the EVGA site which my motherboard is the latest Audio driver...

Hi again all was going well until I was typing an email and BSOD again. Please can you help me again. Thank you.

Well master of my own problem I think, after changing out the ATI for the Nvidia it was working fine until I watercooled the Nvidia then BSOD?? I was thinking I had done something wrong and I had, I only managed to loop the water pump radiator, Nvidia and cpu together then by putting the pipes...

Hi Kemical I tried looking and it's crashed so many times now I think it's corrupted but no worries as you can see there is no information on it so it's quick to rebuild, I had taken out the AVG as far as I can remember because I read it has issues but I could be mistaken. It's formatting now...
