as i stated in the thread, my core clocks, my FSB clocks, my hypertransport, my memory bus, my cpu volts, are jumping around like crazy, and it just started yesterday, i have CnQ disabled, i am doing some overclocking. i thought maybe it was a bad ram module, but according to memtest i have no problems with my memory. i have had random restarts in the past and BSODs, and some investigating said it was a power failure. i have swapped mobos thinking maybe the northbridge was having problems, since it does get really hot, but mobo change and but its still fluctuating, not as bad on my ASUS as my gigabyte, but its still jumping around. i dont THINK its a heat problem either, i have a xigmatek cooler and even on the hottest days, it never gets over 50C on the hottest days, usually around 41C idle..i have been searching for hours for an answer to my problem, and cant find anything, so i decided i would just ask the pros
im thinking its a power supply problem, but i really dont want to buy a new power supply, and that not fix the problem, because i dont have another one laying around to just test and see
