Here is my configution. I have put together two identical machines, both are experiencing the exact same problems. I could use some help because it seems like this should all be a-ok but I must be missing something. I will explain the problem just belowe the specs.....
(CPU) AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor
(MEMORY) G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ - Retail
(MOTHERBOARD) GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
(VIDEO) GIGABYTE GV-R575D5-1GD Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
(PSU) APEVIA ATX-JV650W 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply - Retail
(CASE) COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
(HD) Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
(OS) Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Ok - hopefully you all have a good idea of my system config. I put together two of these systems and both are having the same problems. I put them together and all seems greate for about 3 days. The systems power up, power off, repower up. A-ok. Screaming fast, all is well. After about a week the system might not power on, or it might power on but not post, or it might power on, post and boot into windows. Sometimes when I turn it on the fans might kick in for a second or two and then the whole thing turns off. After some time the system just fails to boot entirely. Completely dead.
I'm using the AMD factory CPU cooler. I'm not doing any overclocking, the CPU does not seem to be overheating though its hard to tell when running in the OS. I have not found how to read the temp outside of the BIOS. I can leave the machine running in the BIOS and the CPU temp doesn't get any higher than 34 C.
When I originally got these MB's they came with F4 firmware. I noticed that the AMD 620 II x4 required it to have F5. I was going to try to update the BIOS to F5 but before I could do that neither machine would boot. I sent them both back and both were replaced with new identical MB's. I installed the MB's and found that they came with F5. At this point I thought I was sitting well, reassembled the PC's and everything ran fine for about the same length of time and then both started to experience the same problems as the first batch after about a week.
I did pull the motherboard out of the system and had it resting on non-conductive material and only had the video card, memory, harddrive, CPU connected and it still did the same thing. I wanted to rule out the box. (This was done after it started having problems, not sure something might have been damaged earlier)
I'm lost as to what it could be. All the system fans are running in the box, seems like ventilation is good. I disconnected all unnecessary items in the box. i.e. hard drive light, reset wire, ect.
What am I missing????
