    Computer not Stable, Frequent Reboots/BSODs

    I actually finally worked it out to boot and get into windows(outside of safe mode) and noticed it may have been a RAM timing issue. I changed it from Auto to X.M.P and set the timings/voltage myself in the BIOS, same with Frequency(1866). It kept working on and off and for random amounts of...

    Computer keeps restarting during Windows install.

    So get this... I got it to randomly work and finally install windows after doing the memtest. So I got windows 7 installed and it was running fine. Before getting too excited, I decided to run a couple of benchmarks and high res games for hours with no problem. I was yelling and screaming in...

    Computer not Stable, Frequent Reboots/BSODs

    Just to give an update, I have been running memtest for a few hours now with no errors. I don't see a way to run a SMART test in BIOS unfortunately.

    Computer not Stable, Frequent Reboots/BSODs

    Hey everyone, I've been having problems with my home-built PC(built 2.5 years ago) and have no idea where to look for help. I've been banging my head against the wall for weeks. Any help would be appreciated. Let's start with Specs: i7-2600k processor GTX 580-MSI Lightning Xtreme Edition 8GB...

    Computer keeps restarting during Windows install.

    I'll try to run memtest. I can run the computer without any crashes in safe mode with networking. It's the only way I can get it stable, other times it just restarts within 15 min or less. BIOS is UEFI.
