A8V Deluxe problems

[insanity2]

Just set up this system.


Asus A8V Deluxe
Athlon 64 3000+ 939 Venice
Kingston HyperX 1GB
XFX 6600GT 128 MB
Western Digital 80 and 120GB IDE HDD
Seasonic 430w PS

Only problem I have is when I start C&C Generals, about 10 seconds into the start of playing, the computer reboots. I am hoping it is not a power issue. I disabled the Cool & Quiet and APM in the BIOS, so that shouldn't affect it. Anybody got any suggestions? I ran C&C Generals just fine on an Asus A7V-E with the same video card and 756 MB of RAM with a 350W power supply and it didn't reboot like this. Something I missed? Thanks in advance!

Tried updating the bios yet?

Do you have automatic restart upon fatal error disabled in windows XP??? It is on by default ad could be masking a driver (software) issue or ram issue...It keeps you from seeing the blue screen and just reboots on its own....

I dont think it is power cause usually a rebooting power supply does it on bootups not during use...usually it just plain freezes then...

make sure you have latest Asus bios for newer venice cores....disable fast writes, and bios cacheable in the bios....also try running ram at auto settings or spd settings...

What are your memory timings and voltage? Are you overclocking?

hey I have this motherboard also, and I get random restarts like that when my cpu is clocked to high. I have to either feed it more power or lower the fsb. Also, I could not pass prime95 on the 2:1 memory setting without having my two ram modules in the A2 and B2 slots (2nd and 4th from the cpu). Just thought I'd share in case you came accross a similar prob.

I have an Asus A8V Deluxe with a dual head nVidia MX4000 graphics card, and a 350W SeaSonic Super Tornado. I have not had any power issues.

I own an ASUS A8V Deluxe. Make sure you are running at least BIOS 1013 from ASUS. The Rev. E (i.e. Venice) processors won't run without a fairly recent BIOS (1012 I think). I had similar problems before my 3400+ was included in the BIOS with 1009. My board shipped with 1008. Since I went to 1011 (and 1013), I have not had this issue.
