Full system restarts

[nlmiller1975]

Hi,

I ordered the following components, and after a few hurdles it's now at least running and very smoothly. However, as I'm playing (Warhammer Online atm) I keep getting system restarts. I just get completely booted out of the game and the computer restarts.

I went to ctrl panel/system and the error page and see quite a few errors. I don't know if that's normal or not, nor do I know what they mean. I also downloaded realtemp 3.0 and seem to consistently run at around 45-56 or so. I don't know if I have everything plugged in corrections or not. Or maybe there are settings that I need to manually change?

Also, does anyone have any experience with any of these components or possibly more importantly, these components together?

Can anyone please help? =/

It's a poor quality PSU that could be the source of the problem, but not for certain.

If your cores are 45-56C at idle that is too warm, also.

Thank you Proximon for the reply!

Poor quality psu, you mean the i7 is a bad processor?

What do you think I could be doing wrong with the temp? Change some settings or something? The processor is brand-spanking new, and I'd hate to RMA it and wind up getting the same effect when it was something I was doing wrong all along...

PSU = Power Supply Unit.
The HEC Zephyr is junk. HEC in general is considered tier 5, bottom of the barrel for PSUs.

Your CPU cooler might not be fully seated, or there might be some foreign particle like a hair in between the cooler and CPU, or the CPU fan may not be working... those are a few things to check.

Or you could have a bad connection somewhere.
