Hey there!
I've got a system that I just put together...
It's a QX6850 with an Asus Striker Extreme, a GTX 8800 OC2, and 8 gigs of Super Talent RAM.
I just installed Vista X64 onto it. I'm not overclocking or doing anything outside of the norm. PC Probe II shows all voltages and temps in the green, with the exception of the "3.3" voltage that sometimes dips into the 2.88 range.
Whenever I try to use Vista's "Rate this computer" tool, it gets as far as configuring Aero, sometimes a little further, then the system just powers off...
It also does this if I try to run the 3dMark tests; the test program starts, but it just barely starts the test, then the system powers off.
There is no blue screen or anything else... the system just powers off.
I've loaded the latest BIOS (1305), did not help. I've also got the most recent drivers from nVidia for the graphics card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm a bit stumped
Anyone have any idea what might be up with this?
Andy
