I cant every be happy with my PC

[Maziar]

well i have tested with orthos , memtest ,

i will do a BIOS update when it happens again

 

[lumper]

things to check for free,
temps in case, cpu, gpu, memory, confirm good airflow.
Power, make sure you are getting enough juice.
Hard drives failing due to lack of power or heat.

Well, what you need to do is take out the things that might have something to do with this error.

Step 1: Borrow a video card from someone and swap it with yours, play a game, and see if you crash again. If the same problem occurs, then it's from either your ram or psu (as have others stated).

If the problem still occurs after step 1:
Step 2: Borrow a memory stick and try it on the computer, play a game, if the problem still occurs then it's probably from the PSU. Then you should probably swap out the psu and check if the same problem occurs.

That's what you always need to do. Find the defective part by ruling out all other possibilities.

unfortunately i can borrow anything here , if u want anything in IRAN , u have to buy it ,also most of my friends doesnt have enough knowledge about hardware here , also they mostly have DDR1+AGP

i will do a BIOS update if it happens again and will tell you
thx all

There is a trend with the Asus P5K series of board having this and similar issues....have you checked the Asus support forum? I've been browsing it but really haven't come across anything that really addresses this issue (or the cold start .vs warm boot issues I've been seeing....

 

[Maziar]

nope i havent checked there yet , as i said if it happens again , i will do a bios update and will tell ya

It can't be his GPU overclock, since the overclock won't take effect until he boots into windows, unless he flashed the BIOS with the new clocks, as you do 😉

I wouldn't leave the RAM voltage at auto because it may set it to the DDR2 standard of 1.8V, which is not enough for some RAM. Set it to 2.1V if you can.

That's what I've been trying to get at randomizer, but nobody but you and I seem to understand...

To top that off, it's OCZ RAM, which is notorious for NOT running at default voltage, even when using default timings. Some boards won't even boot with certain OCZ modules, and there's nothing at all wrong with those boards.

 

[Maziar]

i will set the RAM voltage to 2.1 and timings to 4-4-4-15

 

[Eviltwin17]

you might want to "relax" the timings a bit, make sure you dont get any errors from lower timings, try starting at 6-6-6-16. Remember, you want to isolate the problem, by doing this you decrease the chance of your ram being the culprit. Also, if you have a FSB voltage you might want to increase that by .1 or .2 volts. I had this same problem when oc my c2d until i read an article that talked about FSB voltages. (i used to be an AMD person) Also, if you have any virtualization or speedstepping turned on you need to turn those off. As far as the ram goes, your ram OC itself when you OC the cpu, you might have to use a ram divider to increase stability. OC a c2d even a little bit will OC your ram to speeds much greater than it normally runs at. If you dont mind OC your ram try to keep it no higher than 1000mhz by using a divider and upping the ram voltage by at least .15 v. Your processor voltage should be increased by about .1 v every 400 mhz. (this is all general so it may differ in your case.) try all of these separate from each other. Isolation is key to troubleshooting hardware problems.

 

[randomizer]

If the RAM can't run at spec voltage (2.1V) and default timings then it is faulty or incompatible. There should be no reason why it should have to run at relaxed timings unless it is overclocked or running under spec voltage. He should not be running overclocked if he is trying to find out what the problem is.
