Hello Community
My current system spec
Mobo: AsRock P67 Pro3
CPU: Intel 2500k (Not Overclocked)
Memory: 4 Sticks of 4 GB total of 16 GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX 550 TI
HDD: 3 7200 RPM 1 TB SeaGate Drives (Not Green) Running Raid 5 (Onboard)
SSD: 1 Corsair 120GB
ODD: Standard DVD/R Drive
Case Fans: 7 120 MM Fans Standard No LED:
Water Cooling System: I got that lower end Corsair Self Contained System
PSU: Corsair GS 700 (12 V Raid 56A)
Tower: Full HAF 913 I believe.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
I am tryin to figure out why my computer is just randomly shutting off. I've run Prime95 with the all round test which included memory and I had 2 - 3 cores fail on me every time between tests 1 - 3. Without rebooting I re-ran it without using any memory and got to test 15 without any issues. Suspecting memory I ran Memtest86 and it found no errors with the memory.
I then went into the bios and adjusted the LLC to level 5 (AsRock doesn't have auto or anything like that you gotta select from level 1 to level 5), and it would power off just before I got to the login screen. The only way I could achieve any type of stability was setting LLC to level 1.
I think I read somewhere if LLC is at level 1 it doesn't speak highly for your PSU. But even with LLC at level 1 when I run Prime95 with memory I still get multi-core failures within the first couple of tests.
I am so confused at what the issue could be, Is it the CPU, is it the Memory either though its showing no errors in Memtest86, is it the PSU which I've replaced 3 in the last 2 years and others have told me 700 Watt is more then enough to power my system. Is it something else I am totally forgetting or missing.
I am not upset with the fact my computer is not fully operational, I am upset with myself that I cannot pin down this problem.
Update of what I've done so far.
I have been running Prime95 with 1 RAM stick at a time at a time performing the last torture test that uses a lot of memory and I've had no issues or instability with that. But when all 4 RAM sticks are in I have major instability.
I've run Memtest86 with all 4 memory sticks in and got zero errors, I've tested them one by one and also got zero errors.
For some reason when all 4 memory sticks are present and I run Prime95 with the Torture test that uses a lot of memory CPU cores start to fail after only the 2nd test.
No matter the memory configuration whenever I run the Torture test that doesn't use the RAM and only the CPU I have no issues.
So is it safe to assume the CPU is not at fault here ?
