I downgraded my HTPC from a E6600 to a E6320. The system was rock solid with no problems for 2 months. I wanted to put the E6600 in my main rig since if was over kill for the HTPC. Since then it will lock up for no reason. Sometimes I can not get out of sleep mode while other times it will lock while I'm watching a movie.
After the last lock up I checked the CPU temp and it was around 30. Not great but not enough to cause any problems I would think.
Could the CPU be bad? I can't think of any reason why the change to the E6320 should cause any problems but thought it was worth asking.
Wanted to add, I'm running Vista Home Prem and use the computer only as a HTPC. Thanks
