PC restarting from prime95,intensive games

solarenergy78 · Jul 30, 2014

The pc restarts from prime95 in a matter of minuets, i have already tried another PSU and it did not solve my problem, as i initially once thought,by reading around i think it has something to do with my ram voltage and timings in my bios, but i have no idea what to put in order for it to work as i have tried to put it on 1.65v 1600mhz from the normal 1.5v 1333mhz stock settings that my bios has.

The ram i have is : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104244

Do you check your temperatures, if so what are they and what are your specs?
I had a restarting problem due to overheating CPU

Bigeye6 :

My temps for the cpu are 45-50c on load and 25-30c on idle

Is your system overclocked? Mine would did the same when I had the vcore set too low. Does it do the same if you put everything back to default in the BIOS?

Everything is on stock settings, the only thing i have messed with is the Dram voltage and timings, which i put to 1.65v instead of 1.5v and timings to 9-9-9-27, putting it back on default settings still makes the pc restart

Have you tried running Memtest to rule out memory failure? It's happened to me before. You could try, assuming you have more than one stick of ram, trying one in your system at a time and seeing if the problem persists.

How long do i let each stick pass? I have ran it before for each stick about 3 or 4 passes without it detecting an error

5 is normally my limit but some say run it overnight, how ever many passes that might be. If its not the memory then try removing all non essential components, optical drives, secondary HDDs etc to rule them causing some sort of conflict. I would systematically rule out each component, starting with the easiest, to rule them out. Once you are down to the CPU, mb, one stick of ram, HD and graphics card it gets a bit trickier. I had to borrow a mates GPU to rule out mine causing an error when my system became unstable. You say you've changed the PSU so that can pretty much be ruled out.

I ran memtest on all 4 sticks individually and together no errors found, and also took out non essentials however no luck. I also used prime and occt on each stick by itself and the pc still restarts for each one, at this point its either still the memory or the motherboard itself but i have no idea
This is my motherboard : http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3894#ov
