I am experiencing the same kind of issue with my PC setup at the moment, spec's are
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
i7 920 intel CPU
EX58-Extreme Motherboard -
Link Removed - Invalid URL
Nvidia GTX 285 1gig Video Card -
Link Removed due to 404 Error
G-Skill 6gig 9-9-9-24 1600 Ram -
6GB G.Skill DDR3 Tri-Channel PC3-12800 1600MHz CL9 Memory Kit
1TB Seagate HDD
Antec 850Watt PSU
I have individually tested each component of my PC, Ram tested, video card, scanned the HDD , checked windows, you name it and I've done it, my issue isn't exactly the same as the one listed above but I've done enough research across the net about people experiencing the same kind of issue with similar or close enough system setups, this problem appears to be a new-generation setup issue, as it doesn't seem to be happening in the same way to systems not using a i7 920 and above CPU
included is a dump from my event viewer, I am getting these restarts at random intervals, which have increased lately , I have updated every driver I have to the absolute latest, I am going to pickup a battery backup Power supply board to check possible Power issues...........
I also checked the settings meationed above about sleep mode and made sure they are turned off, then it crashed afew hours afterwards, same cause same issue......
How I get this issue is I can be doing anything in windows, and then suddenly it will decide to shutdown, it will go through a normal shutdown from the start menu, closing off everything I have opened or am doing (without giving me a chance to save), then power down.
Once down and cold, restarting can be a pain, it will power up then down sometimes, before even turning the monitor on to start up the standard startup information you get when turning your PC on, sometimes I will get bios is corrupt messages and it will auto recover from the HPA backup (or something like that), other times it will complain that I have overclocked settings in my bios and claim that they caused the instabilities and bootup issues,
I have had my Ram clocked to 1600 -
6GB G.Skill DDR3 Tri-Channel PC3-12800 1600MHz CL9 Memory Kit
this is the only overclocking I do and this issue has happened even when the Ram hasn't been setup like that......
I've followed some tips from -
Link Removed - Invalid URL / and adjusted settings in the bios as well in relation to the CPU, still no change........
Whatever this is, I can't pinpoint the issue enough to send a component back to the manufacturer for checking yet.........
Any help would be most welcome
