Hey guys, I've been having some very weird random(sort of) reboot problems. The reboots only seem to occur when I am playing videos (so far only divx in particular). I've tried with both WMP(whole system just locks up) and VLC(complete reboot). I haven't really tried to see if games cause the reboots too. I've also run prime95, superPI, and a video card stability test for extended periods with no reboots at all.
Also, as for my ram(see below), I've had to manually bump up the timings/voltage to run at the certified settings (which now result in the DDR18V fail). But, the reboots occured with both the new settings and the defaulted settings.
In my attempts to isolate the problem I have:
-installed latest Nvidia drivers
-flashed the latest BIOS
-installed new onboard audio drivers (dxdiag said the old drivers were not signed, new ones are)
On a side note...a few weeks ago the system failed to start up (i believe it was a short)...the problem seemed to fix itself after I played around with some of the power connectors. The only really change was that the fans were wired in a different order, eliminating the use of one molex(could a molex connector cause a short?). After that the system boots fine, so I dont even know if this might affect anything.
System Specs:
Core 2 Extreme X6800
Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 Mobo w/F4 bios (reboots occured with F2 and F3 also)
Zalman CNPS9500 Cooler
2x1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 PC2-6400 CAS3 (Had to manually adjust mobo settings to 3-4-3-9 @2.2v)
XFX Geforce 7950 GX2
WD NeoHE 550w PS
150gb Raptor
Temps:
System: around 49-50C
CPU: around 35C idle; max 46C
GPU: idle around 67C
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
