    New rig - random crash

    Yes I did install XTU and watch the car pulling in excess of 120W. This caused immediate temp rise to 100c followed by a reboot.

    New rig - random crash

    Sorry for the late reply, been busy chasing down the issue. The Hyper 212 fan is spinning, up to max speed under load (2000 rpm). Here's what I found since yesterday. I might have been mixing 2 distinct issues. 1. An overheating issue has been somewhat widely documented with Z97 MB and 4790K...

    New rig - random crash

    Good guess about the temp. That's also my suspicion that heat is causing the system halt/reboot. Incidentally, LegitReviews got 71c under load for their test of the 4790K. My results are along the same line...

    New rig - random crash

    It is an old no brand case. Good airflow though. The HSF is a new Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, 4 heat pipes and 120mm fan. Thanks

    New rig - random crash

    Prime can be reproduced with great regularity. It takes about 7-10 minutes before the reboot. I installed Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to monitor was was going on. Interestingly, when Prime stress test is started, the CPU temp goes from idle (30c) to about 68-72c. It stays there for quite a...

    New rig - random crash

    Memtest86 completed sucessfully. No problem found. Running Prime95 this morning, the rig rebooted after 10 minutes :-( If the issue comes from the power supply, how would you troubleshoot it? Thanks.

    New rig - random crash

    Hi, I put together a new rig just a week ago. Most went well, but I experience what seems completely random crashes. I leave the system unattended, comes back to see that it rebooted. It did bluescreen once. The error log shows some services failing (crypto, DNS, IP helper) with event ID...

    BSOD and self reboot - need tips

    Thanks for the tips, will do. I was thinking about the mixed memory timing as a possible issue. Will remove 2GB and keep it running as is for a little bit.

    BSOD and self reboot - need tips

    Hi, I have been chasing an issue with my home rig and could use some advice on the best approach. My computer has been acting up for a while. Under XP SP3, the system (OS) was fairly stable, yet experienced application crashes often. Mainly IE8 and Firefox would crash while loading certain...

    Weird poblem with external USB HDDs

    I certainly agree it sounds like a power delivery problem. I do have a USB powered hub (USB1 unfortunately). I tried that, one disk never started, the other one worked sucessfully several times, but failed also to start a few times. I find it odd that my desktop feeds less power that my...

    Weird poblem with external USB HDDs

    I have several external USB HDDs. They work fine on my Dell laptop and work computer. But not so fine on my home PC. All systems are WinXP SP3. When I connect them to my home system, the USB disks make some clicking noise, sometime they start spinning, but stop after a little while. The...

    Source is DV tape for both audio and video. DV is imported into Premiere (via firewire), massaged into premiere and then exported to mpeg2. No music or other audio source is added to the mix.
