    BSOD...faulty CPU?

    OK, here's the results... Ran the P95 Blend test, it errored after 58 minutes. Did as Kickus suggested, lowered FSB to 166 so CPU:Mem now 1:1, ran P95 continuously and stopped it after 8 hours with no faults. Ran 3DMark05, no failures in the CPU test. Tried oc'ing mem to 400MHz, no POST...

    BSOD...faulty CPU?

    LTC8K6: TVM, once I get the machine back I'll run the tests. Kickus: I see where you are coming from... set the cpu fsb to be the same as the memory so no need for dividers, will give it a try. As far as ram/mobo incompatibility goes, I've not had any problems when running with the XP1700.

    BSOD...faulty CPU?

    Thanks LTC8K6, you are quite right of course I haven't run the blend test :o My girlfriend has kicked me off the machine and is, ahem, "testing" HL2 :roll:. Once I can wrestle the mouse back off of her, I'll set the blend test in motion. Does it run to a conclusion, or do you just run it for...

    BSOD...faulty CPU?

    Upgraded from an Athlon XP1700 to a XP3200. Totally clean Win XP install, but machine now spontaneously reboots. This only occurs in some games (eg HL2, NFSU2, SIMS2), DirectX based screensavers and always in 3dMark05 about 10 seconds into the first CPU test. The machine has never crashed when...

    PC reboots frequently in games after upgrade

    New PSU is in and reboots have stopped... Woohoo!!! Played HL2, Sims2 and NFSU2 (all sequels...wierd) not one reboot. The Tagan TG480-U01 is a quality piece of kit too.

    PC reboots frequently in games after upgrade

    Yep, CPU gets to about 61C (141F), idle is around 55C (131F), ambient case temp goes up to around 29C (84F). The reboots aren't limited just to games, but they only happen when a DirectX app is running, ie. game or screensaver. SO they only seems to happen when the vid card is operating under...

    PC reboots frequently in games after upgrade

    Have upgraded my machine from an AthlonXP 1700+ with GF4 Ti-4200 to Athlon (Barton) 3200+ and a Leadtek GF 6800nu (non ultra). Since upgrading, the machine frequently reboots in games (Half-Life2 and NFSU2) or when the screensaver is running. This isn't a lock up where the screen freezes, the...
