First off, this is not about the DS3L rebooting at POST with an unstable overclock. I actually like that feature.
Specs:
P35-DS3L (obviously)
E2160 M0 stepping
Ballistix ddr2 800 2 x 2gb ram (slot 0 and 2)
pc p&c silencer 750w
FSB 400
Multi 8x
SPD 2 (1:1 ratio, 800mhz)
Auto timings (5,5,5,18,30,2t)
tread 11 (standard)
ddr volt: 2.2
fsb volt: +0.1
mch: stock
cpu: 1.4
The problem I have is the machine rebooting without displaying an error when running Prime95. Those numbers are for the last run I made. I ran Prime95 (v25.6?) small FFT for 7 hours. Sometime around then the machine rebooted. I checked Prime's results log (no errors), application event log (nothing), system event log (nothing). Auto updates were turned to notify of updates (not automatically restarting from update from Microsoft).
CoreTemp, HWMonitor and SpeedFan (not calibrated) all reported max load temps at 55-57. The Temp1 in Speedfan was listed at 42-43.
I have upped the voltages for cpu, fsb and mch and no help. The machine either doesn't boot, BSODs before entering windows or reboots sometime during Prime95 testing. In fact, when MCH was upped by +0.1 or +0.2 the machine wouldn't post.
I'm pretty certain it's not CPU heat, or RAM. I know there has been some people saying that Crucial has gone downhill, but the ram should be stable at stock (with rated voltage). I have not run MemTest86 yet, though.
I'm wondering if this might be a heat issue on the NB, or some other issue. Is there a program to monitor the NB temp?
System was stable for 8+ hours at fsb 333, 9x multi. If that's what I'm going to get, so be it.
Thanks.
