Well, this started to happen a month ago, and this is not the first time this has happened to me. A year earlier, I was unable to use my PC because of the motherboard issue, my PC used to turn off after few milliseconds of boot up everytime. I took it to the repair shop where they told me that my motherboard was the culprit and they have to repair it, after few days I could use my PC normally, and it happened again after few weeks and I did the same and it was working fine until a month ago. This time however, with bit of luck and trying, it works fine ( shutdowns randomly and sometimes when I play demanding games ).
I tried replacing the PSU as I thought it had to be the culprit this time because after working here and there I could run my PC, but the problem didnt go away then I thought heating might be the issue for this frequent shutdowns, I cleaned everything up with the blower and applied thermal paste after resitting every components, but no luck with that as well, then I cleared the CMOS by resitting the battery, same ! I went through numerous threads here in toms hardware and followed various methods, and I still have the problem.
Sometimes ( rarely ) at the start it gives me error like -" Previous Overclock settings have failed, press F1 to change settings and blah blah ", and I havent even overclocked anything ! That error is just random, sometimes pc boots up fine without the error until windows starts to load and baamm, it shuts down again ! Recently, I noticed few things, when I enter BIOS to check things, I see my CPU frequncy at 200 and FSB multiplier or something like that at Auto, and the total freq reads 200x4 = 800Mhz, DAMN! and after a quick restart, it gets to normal 200x16 = 3200Mhz, this completely baffles me. Nowadays, I have to restart my pc everytime in order to run my cpu at its normal frequency because at first it always loads of at 800Mhz. Today, I tried underclocking my CPU, I gradually dropped down the multiplier, from 16 to 14, and after few seconds of boot, right at the windows 7 loading screen, computer goes off ! And I dropped it a little more at 12, right now its working fine as I am typing this. I am getting frustrated with all of this, sometimes I can use my PC with no problem and most of the times it just keeps shutting down randomly.
Please, I need help regarding this ! Should I change my motherboard? Thank you very much in advance !
My PC specs:
Motherboard : MSI NF725M-P31 [MS-7597]
Processor : AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.20 Ghz, using @ 2.4Ghz at the moment [ Normal CPU fan ]
RAM : 4GB 1333Mhz DDR3 (Single piece)
GPU : ATI Radeon 5450 HD 1GB
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Have a great day !
