    Random Reboots

    Well the 5 week saga comes to an end. After returning the motherboard yet again, and the cpu and memory the new parts work like a charm. Though I went from a P5B Deluxe to a 680i board. After reading Firing Squad's "Troubleshooting Vista x64 Installations Over 4 Different Systems" article...

    Random Reboots

    Well the saga continues. After waiting over two weeks for the motherboard replacement it arrived yesterday. Regretably when I installed it my old copy of WinXp Pro OEM had finnally given up the ghost and wouldnt reactivate. So I went and bought a copy of Vista (Didnt want to but I knew...

    Random Reboots

    I put in a cheaper thermaltake 450w PSU, from an other machine, and I am still having trouble. Which at least, on the upside, probably rules out the PSU. Question ends up becomming do I return it for the same type of MB or try something different.

    Random Reboots

    Well taking the UPS out didnt help. I guess I was just lucky in it lasting about 18 hours before it finnally did a sponsaneous reboot. At this point I am thinking of returning the PSU and Motherboard.

    Random Reboots

    I have had the memory at 1.8v 1.9v and 2.1v. Set to 667 and 800. Along with auto of course. Though I havnt tried just 1 module at a time i have swaped them and moved them to the other open slots. Nada. Suprisingly so far, fingers crossed, taking the UPS out of the equation has lasted...

    Random Reboots

    Its happening regularly enough to be annoying, Spitz On average once every 4 to 6 hours I would say. I looked thru that thread.. I might have a PSU around here I can try it with temporarily.... probably my next try. Turning off the autoshutdown didnt help.

    Thank you, Sdiver. I went in and turned that off. Will have to see it it makes it behave. Definitly one of the most fustrating things having a problem like this is the intermitent nature of it. Hard to tell when/if it will happen. Only time will tell.

    Random Reboots

    Thanks for the replies so far. Just to be clear I am doing no overclocking with this machine. The UPS was previously hooked up to my old machine and it never gave me any trouble. Though I will take it out of the loop and see what happens. And when I say reboots.. I dont mean a...

    I appreciate your response, Harvy. Actually I have a UPS already, an APC BACK-UPS ES 750. So the power comming in should be clean. An idea how best to look for problems concerning the power supply or motherboard? Thanks again!

    Random Reboots

    Last week I build a new machine. And it purrs like a kitten until it decides to go and spontaneously reboot. I have run Memtest86+ for several hours and SP2004 Orthos for 8 hours and gotten no errors. According to Speedfan my idle temps are as followed: system 39C, CPU 41C. Under load...
