Yeah, thanks for that :P

I tested the RAM today with Memtest 86 and it turns out the problem was with a stick of Crucial gone bad... Thanks for everyones help and thoughts. Anyone know what causes RAM to go bad over time?

Just an additional thought. This is in regards to the link r0tt3n1 provided. Could it be strongly assumed that it is Harddrive because the same file becomes corrupt in the boot partion that may have bad sectors?

LiLithTecH Thanks for your help so far... I should clarify that the RAM ran fine in the old KG7 for a year and a half and then displayed the same corrupt / missing message as on the new A7N8X board. We just installed the new board for he had it sitting around waiting for a reason to...

LiLithTecH I had read somewhere else that RAM may be suspect as well, although I'm not sure I fundimentally understand how the RAM can create this problem. It should be noted the RAM has been runnning in the KG7 system for over a year and a half wothou out any problems. What is the likely...

Hello All, I have a PC that just shuts down for no reason and then will not boot returning this error message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt. System 32 Drivers NTFS.SYS This happened once and I was able to recover the drives contents. I reformated...

I think you can adjust the set point of C.O.P. however the default is 80C.

I agree Mike, I think the Asus temp is pretty indicative of actual temperatures.... The C/W (.28) I used was from Alphas's site Here It does list it with a 46CFM fan @ 4000 RPM. So I realize this is not my actual C/W as my value will be higher. The voltage used was 1.75, however I realized...

OK, now I'm really confused. There are published sites that indicate a 2100+XP outputs 72 watts under full load. Here This makes we wonder why the Radiate program calculated the wattage output of a CPU @ 1733 Mhz (2100+) and 1.75 Volts to be 110 watts of output? How realistic is this and what...

mechBgon, that would be nice if a Bios upgrade would do it. What's even funnier is most Hardware review sites have clearly stated the temperature is read via diode :Q Nice set-up VSEKH! What type of HSF are you using for those bad boys? :Q

Ahh, thanks again Mike! I guess measuring temp of the air 1" from the Fan of an Alpha 8045 would difficult, especially as I'm expulsing the air away from the heat sink rather than blowing through it. Close enough :) It would seem that Asus's temperature guardband is indeed close. The thing...

Thanks for that informative Link Mike, that certainly clears that up, but it does raise some concerns... Why the heck do they not use the diode for all temperture transactions? :disgust: That link in your signature was a plethora of informaton and education, Thanks :) Using the tools...

VSEKH, is that 51.6C read from the diode or thermistor? What Mother board are you using? I guess that would place me in the ball park then if I'm Overclocked and my 2100+ is running at 2300+ levels. 60C doesn't seem like such a stretch using your values as a comparison.

Thanks for your repsonses guys! Mike, I'm confused by your comment... How does the A7V333 report thermistor CPU readings if it does not have a thermistor under the CPU? The A7V333 and another Board are supposedly the only 2 current boards to provide CPU temperature via the XP's internal...

Anyone running with this particular combination? What are your CPU temperatures read from the Asus Probe? Currently mine is reading 57-60C @ 1898 mhz (13x146) This seems a bit high to me, however even at stock 2100+ XP speeds, the CPU reads somewhere around 55C. Is this because of the diode...
