Alright so here is the deal:
Asus p5q-em
Intel Q8200 Quad core
2x Patriot DDR2 2G (pc2 6400)
Brand new Corsair vw550w PSU
I just built this system and i have been having all sorts of snags getting it if on the ground. The issue I am dealing with right now is that it keeps restarting itself at random. At idle, under load, really just doing anything. It will do it even during running the windows memory diagnostic. I am running it currently and it is having a hard time running through test 7 and keeps freezing.
I have unchecked the auto restart button( no error message)
I have unhooked everything individually to see if anything changes
Right now the only thing running is the cd drive to boot the memory test the psu, cpu, ram, keyboard/mouse monitor. so it definitely lies somewhere in the hardware.
here is the really weird thing the keyboard locks up before it crashes. with windows open i can still use the mouse and work on programs but the keyboard is dead. it does this in bios as well.
i dont think it is the psu because i had this issue before i replaced it. however the old psu was only 250w.
any ideas guys?
