Hi,
I built a computer in January of 2010 as a senior project for graduation out of high school. It is now January of 2011 and I haven't gotten very far with it. I built the PC a year ago and I had this problem where it would randomly lock/freeze up and not move or respond in anyway whatsoever. I could press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and it still wouldnt do anything. I would have to manually restart the computer. I never got a Blue screen of death ever; that's what's weird about it. Also another thing it would do Is I would turn it on and Windows 7 would boot up and everything and while I was in the middle of something (like browsing the internet or listening to music) it would randomly restart on its own as if someone literally pressed the reset button on the front of the tower. After it's restart at the Post screen I would get an error called a "Hyper Sync Transport Flood Error". Today I pulled the old PC out and fired it up and I got on ASUS's webpage just to see if they had any CMOS/BIOS revisions and to my great pleasure they did. I flashed/updated my CMOS/BIOS to the latest version as of right now. Since I have done that I have not gotten the Hyper Transport Error again. It did reset one time but I did not get that error. IT LOCKED UP PLENTY OF TIMES AGAIN THOUGH. That is one thing that hasn't changed. I ran memtest to see if my memory was ok and everything passed checking each stick of RAM individially. I'm beginning to wonder if this whole lockup thing is being caused by something in the BIOS settings. When I built the PC I didnt really know what I was doing with the BIOS so I left EVERYTHING on auto settings I didnt specify any numbers or anything. If anyone out there is using the same hardware as my self and you have successfully conquered this same problem PLEASE PLEASE help me. Im in desperate need. If you are using the same BIOS as me and hardware please Give me all the settings that need to be set in the BIOS and I will go through and enter them in to see if it fixes the problem. but honestly I have no clue what I'm doing on my own. I have a feeling the lockup error has something to do with my FSB or Hyper Transport Link settings because I left them on auto. I didn't know what to set the multipliers to or anything or voltages and I didnt wanna fry something especially my $200 processor lol. If you could Please give me all the settings I will need to put in my BIOS i would be more than grateful right now. Im literally almost ready to give up on this thing and I have put over $1200 into it.
Here is my Hardware:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe BIOS Version 3303
Memory: Corsair xms3 4GB (2 x 2GB Sticks) DDR3 RAM TW3X4G1333C9A
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
HardDrive: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive
Graphics Card: NVIDEA GeForce GTS250 512MB DDR3
Optical Drive: Plextor PX-B320SA Bluray Drive
PSU: Corsair TX650W Power Supply (650 Watts)
Im literally begging anyone who can help PLEASE DO!!! lol I seriously need to get a better understanding of what all these numbers such as voltages, latencies, and what not in the BIOS and I also need to know what the need to be set to. I checked the websites of these places and to me it seems like they lack this information; but then again I probably don't know what I'm talking about. I really want to get into this hobby though and in order to do so I need this First Build to finally work out for me.
