Hey Guys!
First time subscriber here. Never posted on Toms befor but been a fan of this site for information and reviews for all the up coming stuff for a while now.
Anyhow, Here is my problem. I recenly put a build together about 2-3 months ago. And first thing I did was of course OCing it. I had my troubles with stability etc; but after about 2 weeks I got it running Great! 12 hours of prime stable, 8 hours of memtest stable. All my games ran great no hick ups or anything !
Now one day I started it up and I was getting random lock ups in vista. It just started happening with no warning! seem to lock up at anytime from 2 mins in to 10 mins in. once I got a blue screen with a whole bunch of jibberish on it....I couldnt read all of it becasue it rebooted to fast. However I went into my BIOS and put everything bakc to stock. Computer runs find.
However, I tryed doing some of my settings back again and now it just gives me a black screen upon start up and I have to reset and clear my CMOS to get back to the BIOS. I mean the littlest change in my BIOS like upping voltage on ram, or changing ram timeings or changing just CPU voltage and clock multiplyers with the FSB speed etc; Everytime , doesnt matter how little of the change is I get a black screen when I boot up, and about 5 secs in the computer will turn off, start up, black screen , turn off, start up and just hang...my monitor wont even turn on.
Now everything is up to par. BIOS drivers, V card Driver, and befor I never had this problem changing anything in my BIOS.
Im thinking its my PSU not keeping up with all the + to voltages anymore? Thats my only guess.
my stuff:
Q6600 2.4 @ 3.0
1.33 voltage, V-droop was at 1.28 volts according to CPU-Z
9x by 333 fsb,
4 gigs (2x2gigs) ballistix ram 4-4-4-12 at 2.2v
I had my ram at 1000 mghz (500) at 5-5-5-15
ram over voltage was set: +0.4 (1.8 default +0.4 = 2.2)
Zephry 650 watt PSU (I think is the culpret)
EVGA 8800 GTS V-card
WD 500 gig HDD
Lite on combo drive dual layer DVD/CD all that stuff (sata)
cordless logitec mouse keyboard combo.
onboard sound
I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard
Bios settings are:
PCI-Exprees set at : 100
FSB Over voltage : +0.1
MCH over voltage : +0.1
ram settings : stated above
all my smart fan controls are disable as for my turbo mode and that stuff.
Currently everything is at defualt as I write this post of course.
