Hi, I've been experiencing this issue for about 4 days now. Everything else is fine, every web page or other video service site streams videos flawlessly. But I cannot watch YT videos anymore because the buffer speed is incredibly slow. My ISP is AT&T UVerse in California. Here's a graph I got...

Turns out that the BIOS became corrupted and Gigabytes tech has replaced the BIOS chip. I should be getting the board back tomorrow or Monday.

Bump. This is my second x58-ud3r that has failed on me. Power cycling with no POST. I'm to replace this with another manufacturer.

Well shoot, it looks like the psu didn't help. What left are my choices? Motherboard? (I'm going to keep this psu though because I feel like the old one is the cause of damage.)

Thanks for the further replies. I did manage to order the sonic psu, and it arrived at my house today. But alas I'm stuck at work for 4 more hours. I'll let you know how the new psu goes.

Cool, well I won't be able to buy it until the 25th, but I'll keep you guys posted.

For my specs listed in the OP, how does this PSU look? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088&Tpk=seasonic%20x650 Is that enough power?

I built this pc back in 2009. I'm thinking it's the power as well. I tried all of the suggestions in here and it's still doing the same thing. What I just tried one at a time: Clear cmos. Try each stick of ram individually in each slot. Removed video card. The case is pretty clean and I know...

I don't overclock the cpu, gpu, or ram. But I will reset the cmos.

The only hardware change I've made was a switch from a gtx 275 to a 470 in december. Before this situation, I was seeing some poor performance in my games. I ran tests from OCCT and prime95 to produce any errors, but it was all error free. I also ran a couple of passes of memtest on each stick...

Hello, I don't know where to put this thread. When I hit the power button, my PC will power on - all fans and lights will turn on for about 5 seconds - then it will shut off. And then it will power on, and then power off... It will continue this process until I kill the power from the PSU...

One thing I can show you guys is my unstable frame rate... For example, one minute it will be micro-fluctuating around 45 fps, then around 60fps, and back to ~45, so on and so forth. Same area, not moving and nothing going on. It doesn't happen in all areas all of the time, but it does...

Just experiencing below average framerates in my games would be the major symptoms. In Black Ops multiplayer it's most apparent, and I also experience some hitching in the game. Getting to as low as 35FPS in some places. BC2, it's just not as smooth as it should be. And, I don't know if...

Hi, So, my PSU's output power looks like this: 730 Watts, +3.3V@24A, +5V@30A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@18A, +12V4@20A, -12V@0.5A, +5VSB@2.5A I own a GTX 470 video card, and the power specs for the card state "Minimum of a 550 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12...
