Hi gang,
I have a built computer that I didn't build and don't know an incredible amount on. The thing's just suddenly blinking out on me for no reason (the most extensive stress I'm putting on it is going online.)
I've done a lot of reading, trying to find people with a problem similar to mine, and am looking to make this thing stable. I loaded the optimized defaults through BIOS, to no avail; loaded fail-safe defaults to no avail, and tried changing the clock from 9-9-9-24 to 8-8-8-21 to no avail.
I ran Memtest on it with it's original settings, and it came up with like 700 errors in three rounds. I loaded up the fail-safe settings and got one error on the second round. It still blinked out on me. Not even a blue screen -- it's like someone pulled the plug then put it back in.
It's specs are:
AMD PhenomII X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P AM3 DDR3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pm DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
G.SKILL FALCON FM-25S2S- 128GBF1 2.5" 128GB SATA I1 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (Hard drive #1)
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB Internal Hard Drive (#2)
EVGA 896-P3- 1171-AR GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PC1 Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
ENCORE ENLWI-N PC1 2.3 Wireless Adapter (Internet connection)
SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S223F – OEM
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V I EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
XCLIO Blackhawk Advanced Black Finish 0.8 m SECC I ABS Plastic ATX Full Tower Extreme Cooling Computer Case
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this thing stable? It actually just restarted on me as I typed this. Attached is a screenshot of the specs in CPU-Z. (Not sure if you can see it.)
