All,
I have a problem with an i7 system I have built recently:
Core i7
GigagByte EX-58 UD3R
3 GB (3 x 1 GB) GSkill DDR3 RAM (1600)
I used my old Seagate SATA HDD, optical drive and nVidia 8800 GT video card and installed Windows 7.
Everything went well but then it started randomly rebooting when idling or be being used lightly. It would be rock solid stable in game.
Thought it might be RAM voltage so up'ed it from 1.5 V to 1.64 V with no effect. Switched out the RAM for 6 GB (3 x 2 GB) Kingston DDR3 (1333) and had the same problem. Both RAM configs have been tried under fail safe mode with no effect.
Interestingly, I have tried installing XP and it reboots in the install phase (after getting through setup). This happens for both sets of RAM.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
