OK...I know I've seen this b4 in a thread here...but I can't find it.

Not to mention it reboots on me while I'm looking.

What was the trick anyhow??

Yes I do overclock and it's been real stable for a couple months now.

See my sig for the system details...

Any leads here would be great guys...THX!!

Yeah...I keep a good eye on temps all the time.

I should also say that it will cold boot into safe mode too.

I restart and it may look ok, but will reboot on me @ random.

If it were temp related, it would boot ok and THEN get unstable...

Oh, I did replace my 27cfm fan with a Delta 38 screamer...

Temps are lower now.

Thx....keep them coming....

prolly coZ now is summer time:) But if it's been stable for months only now your system is acting up--prolly due to heat related issues.

So why would it do it when its cold?

First thing in the morning? First cold boot?

My office is in the basement too...just so it stays cool.

I really think its something else....

I even saw posts to this same effect...but I can't find them.

I was hoping to find out how they were resolved.

Thx anyway anime...

Hey -

I had this happen to me with an older pc.

Change out your power supply, it's probably intermittent...

It's worth a try.

Good luck.
