Hi all,
would appreciate some advice.
Yesterday my computer suddenly shut down when running idle; upon starting the computer back up the BIOS stated a CPU Over Voltage Error had occurred.
I immediately went into the BIOS and noticed the CPU VCore was fluctuating between 1.5v (White -> 1.7v (Red). This lasted for around 1 minute and then settled back at 1.31v stable.
I have since tried the computer again today for 5 minutes before going to work and it seemed fine.
I'm worried either the PSU or Motherboard are failing and may cause damage to my CPU or other components.
I don't have any spare parts to test swap the power supply or motherboard. Considering this has only happened once would I be jumping the gun replacing my main board and PSU straight away? or is it safe to continue using the computer while keeping an eye on voltage levels etc..
Asus X99-S (Pretty sure first revision.)
Intel 5930k @ 4.0GHz
16GB Corsair Dominator DDR4 2666Mhz
Corsair HX850i PSU
GTX 1080
I did have a power cut 4 days ago while the PC was on; but I've used it frequently and for long periods of time since then without any observable issues.
would appreciate some advice.
