Hello all,
So I have another random computer reboot issue. I have read the sticky above and did some research to eliminate some probable causes.
There may be a few things out of my hands since this is a work computer, but I do most of the PC tech support for the part of the building am in. This particular computer appears to be a custom built deal that was pawned off to me because of the issue in question.
The frequency of these restarts has gone from once a week to several per day. (very frustrating)
The computer is part of a domain, but it does not seam to matter whether i log on to the Domain or onto a local account... Not sure if this has anything to do with the issue.
What the system is:
AMD Phenom X4 955
ASRock M3A780GXH/128M
Stock CPU cooler
2x2gb ddr3-12800 ram (nothing to fancy here)
thermaltake 500W PSU
Win7 Pro 32bit
No populated PCIe or PCI slots.
only basic I/O devices connected
500gb platter drive....
I cleaned up the C: drive and used DiskPart to shrink down to 50~gb. Then I created an image and repair disk to move the contents to an Adata SP900 SSD that I had extra from my house. I can't stand traditional hdd's anymore....
As I don't not know the true history of this PC, I have done the following to attempt to fix the issue:
-Reseat CPU/ clean re-apply thermal compound
-thorough dusting of all connectors and heatsinks
-verify system control header/connector are correct
-clean/reseat memory DIMM's and slots
-used memory diagnostic tool, OK
-checkdisk, OK
-unchecked "reboot after system failure" in advanced system properties.
-installed Handbrake and Unigine Heaven to put system under full load to test temps
-installed cupid HWMonitor, CPU never over 55C under 100% load
I am truly baffled at this point...
Thanks for the help,
Josh
