|
 |
Hi, if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it. I initially thought it was an explorer issue while surfing my computer would restart. Now it does it regardless of what I'm doing. It will lock up for a second and then restart but with no screen. Not a BSOD, but nothing. I don't know whether it's memory or the video card. I have all the updates---maybe because I bypassed the WGA update? ( I applied the patch and such). And it started happening. I've never had this happen before.
I'm running this:
Epox 8RDA+ 1.1 with copper Iceberg
Athlon XP-M 2600+ (oc'd @ 2.5Ghz)
Corsair DDR Twin XMS3200 Platinum (Dual mode)
2-2-2-5
BIOS 3507
Thermaltake Volcano 7+
Radeon AIW 7500 with alluminum Iceberq
Maxtor 7200 30G X 2
Lite-on Black 16x DVD (window & led modded)
Lite-on Black 24x10x40 CDRW
Lian Li PC-7 (side, top and bay window and led modded)
Vantec Nexus NXP201 Controller
Cold cathode illumination (blue)
Okia 420w PSU (window/fan modded)
XP SP2

try these:
try turning off stand by
or
1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
2. Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.

or it could be bad memory so try running:

Skid Row,
I ran the memtest 86v3.2 and how long should it run? It's been running 2 hours plus.
Not sure how to interpret the results. I do show this, if you can make it out:
good f6f96c3d
bad f6f96c3c
count channel 1
It kept running tests, though. Ran 7 tests and continuing. I'll check the site for further info, I thought you might know off hand, though.

not sure myself but it sounds like you got a bad stick there, i'd try reducing the latency on the ram a bit or bumping up the voltage slightly in case your fsb is pushing the ram too hard at 2-2-2-5, or of course see if it'll post if you stop oc'ing the processor, u've prolly tried this tho
