Stock System Crashes without OC (P5B)

Last response: in Motherboards
Share

Hello,

I am looking to get help from some of you experts out there...
I just recently purchased a system and have found that it is starting to randomly give me the blue screen of death...
I have updated the bios, and even found that when I installed PC Probe that my motherboard was at a consistant 45 degrees, and my CPU was around 53 degrees.
I haven't overclocked anything as right now the speed seems sufficient, I just want a stable system.

Here are the specs:

Asus P5B Motherboard (non-deluxe)
Intel Core2Duo E6300
Kingmaz 2GB DDR667 (2 sticks of 1gb)
BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC
Antec Sonata II Case (incl. P/S)
WD 250 gb HD

Any suggestions of how to resolve this issue?

Is this when the VGA card is underload by any chance. I ahve noticed on the Deluxe that my Mobo heats up quite a bit when the grafics card is under heavy load, however it is fine if only the CPU is under load.

Both of those temps seem high, do you have good airflow exiting the case? I've found quite a few heat problems resulting from poor case ventalation ( mostly because hte case fans weren't able to the job being too close to a wall/desk top ).

I wouldn't doubt that poor airflow is part of the problem. My Antec case has a huge cooling duct that probably reduces cooling more than anything.

I also think that my chassis fan is set on the lowest setting possible.

Crashes usually happen at random points which makes me wonder what the problem could be, so I doubt that it could be related to the Video Card... but you never know.

So I removed the cooling duct from my Sonata II, changed the chassis fan speed to high, and removed/reinstalled my ram (it also seemed as if the heatsink on the ram wasn't on properly).... my CPU is now running at a consistant 48 degrees, and my motherboard is around 37 degrees...

Hopefully I won't experience any crashes, so far so good... I will keep this thread updated, for any others with this same issue...

Thanks all for the help!

i'm glad to hear that but you set timings and voltage for ram manually, correct?

where did you get that ram anyways?
here is a link to datasheet find your ram by part number and set your timing and voltage to the ones that cerrespond to your ram

change from SPD to manual and you will be able to set your own timings

I picked up the ram along with my system (from one of their authorized resellers... Canada Computers)

I looked through that datasheet and was unable to find my model: KLCE88F-2k

Weird.. i've even tried to google it and nothing comes up...

You have to go into BIOS and set "AI Overclocking" to "Manual" to reveal all the settings. Your RAM is probably rated at either 2.1V or 2.2V


My options for my manual settings for ram are:
Dram Voltage
-Auto
-1.8
-1.9
-2.0
-2.1

Dram Frequency
-Auto
-533
-667
-800
-889
-1067

Right now I have it set to Voltage=Auto, and Frequency=667

Do these settings seem ok?
