My new PC is restarting itself in the middle of test 3 on Prime95. Currently, nothing is overclocked. I just finished the build late last night and am testing for stability before I start bumping up the voltages. Here are the two messages I get from the logs:
The PC Build is below. At idle, my CPU runs at 33 degrees, during the Prime95 test, the hotest it got was 50 degrees but mostly stayed around 47 degrees. Im using a thermaltake ultra 120 extreme heatsink on the CPU.
Any thoughts? My first thought is to run Memtest, which I will probably do next.
Current Voltages:
NB Core 1.23 V
SB Core 1.52 V
DDR2 Term 0.93 V
Memory 1.86 V
I think the memory voltage is low since the website for the Patriot Extreme Performance memory states it runs at 2.2 V, but I wanted to test it before I started bumping it up.
Build:
The equipment is as follows:
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR EPS12V 1000W Continuous @ 50°C Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817703007
Per your RAM specifications, it should be run at 2.2 volts. You might want to increase your voltage to that and try again.
I think I agree with you. I ran the small FFTs last night (less memory test) and it ran for 8 hours with no problem. I will bump the voltage on the memory up to 2.2v tonight and see what happens.
knocked memory voltage up to 2.2 V and it seems to be running Prime95 great. In fact, the CPU temp dropped three degrees under load.
After I let this run for awhile I will probably start bumping the CPU up a little. Any suggestions on where to start and what temp you guys think I should try to stay under for my build? The build details are above.
Bumped my memory voltage up to 2.2 V and ran Prime95 for 14 hours before I stopped it. No errors. Heading out to my parents for Christmas so I will try and overclock the system once I get back from Christmas.
For overclocking, its really just guess and check.
Up clock a little until it resets or you cant Post etc.
Then up vCore until stable and then up again
You can look at Comps. Temp sticky at the top,
I believe yours is good below 70 and dont go higher than 1.5vCore
Can you just increase the voltage without affecting the video card in any way? The reason I ask is b/c I have two BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXOC2E GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP in my PC that are factory overclocked. These video cards are to expensive to burn up.
in the BIOS set PCI-E frequency to 100, do not touch the Pci-e voltage
Just clock and vCore, also make sure you watch Ram frequency, lower the multiplier for it if it goes above 800 for now, also set timings manually to 5-5-5-18 (if it is 4-4-4-12)
If you go above the motherboards highest frequency, up the FSB overvoltage if you want to
Edit: Also for the time being, turn off EIST and C1E. Turn them back on if you can once you have the clock you want
