Corsair vx450

Everything was until monday night. It hard booted, and now I periodically get errors in firefox, corrupted disk messages, and occasionally it doesn't boot the first time (gets to windows xp screen with the bar and reboots). Memtest shows errors within seconds. This is such a mess. I'm just...

I just got done running a small fft test (at 800 mhz, 4-4-4-12) for slightly over 29 hours with no errors. I'm pretty much home free, right? Or should I stll run the mersenne prime test?

I didn't have anything installed. Hm. Autoupdate though. I also realized that it was on bios defaults, and incorrect settings, so I went in and manually changed the ram voltage and timings to the rated ones. My pc is plugged into a surge protector. Currently running small fft test. Here's the...

19 Hours into a Orthos Blend test, I get an error...This is at stock settings on everything, too. What do I do now?

Memtest ran for 20 hours with no problems. I tried repairing my windows install, but it still refused to boot, so I'm now in the process of a format and fresh install. Fingers crossed.

Development: Computer rebooted today while it was idling, and now windows will not boot, except into safe mode. This is indicative of corrupted system files right? I reset everything to stock and am now running memtest. I think I'm going to run it for 20 hours, reinstall windows xp, and run...

About two months ago,I put together a new computer,and everything was fine for about a month and week. After that, I started getting crashes (random reboots) and errors in orthos and memtest (about 80 errors or so, and always in test 4. Memory addresses were on both sticks), whereas previously I...

For sure. I'm using a 4850 and e7200 with a 450 watt Corsair PSU. Don't just look for high wattage on a PSU.

Flash drive. Use Q-flash, and make sure the drive is formatted in fat. Did it myself just a couple days ago. Easy as pie.

Terrian, what are your core temps with that?

That PSU is actually solid. Unless you want to go crossfire, or have 5 drives or something, it's good. only 450 watts, but the build quality of corsair psu's is so high. I just built a computer with a 4850,e7200,zalman 9700led, gigabyte ep35-ds3l with that psu, and it runs great. I can run...

I just got a e7200, and with a Zalman CNPS9700 LED, my OC to 3.4 Ghz (slight Vcore increase to 1.1) brings it to a max of 53/54C after 10 hours of orthos. At idle load, my core sensors seem stuck at 38 C, but speedfan reports the CPU sensor to be 27C. It makes sense that core temps are only...

Well, the pic kinda speaks for itself.
