I'm having issues with my homebuilt pc. I'm experiencing system hangs and occasional BSOD's at random intervals when the system is a heavy load (usually running p95's torture test or while 3d gaming). Sometimes they'll happen after 5 minutes, other times after 40 minutes.
My system specs are:
Phenom II x4 940be cpu (stock speeds)
Xigmatech S1283V Dark Knight fan/heatsink
Jetway HA-06-GT mobo
Radeon 4850 (also stock speeds)
4 2gb stcks of AllComponents DDR2 800 ram
Lite-On Sata DVD-ROM
WD 320gb HDD
Samsung 750gb HDD
Antec 900 case (w/ 3 120mm led fans, and 1 200mm non-led fan)
Sigma Monster SP750C 750w PSE
Win7 RC1 and Ubuntu 9.04 dual boot (same crashes in both)
I've tried to rule out as many possibilities as I could.
Temps on the cpu and gpu are excellent, even under load.
I tested the psu with a multimeter at both idle and load and came up with very good results on both the +5v and the +12v (5.1v and 12.34v @ idle, 5.1v and 12.33v @ 100% cpu load)
I've tried swapping out videocards as well as running with no discrete cards using onboard graphics.
I've swapped out the drives, running the system with 1 of them at a time to rule them out as a possibility.
I've run memtest86+ through several passes on the ram with no errors.
I just put in a new mobo thinking it was my old one that was causing the problems (obviously it wasn't since I'm still having the crashes )
I've tried upping the cpu voltage a bit and got errors in p95 (errors, not crashes).
Same with the ram.
At this point the only thing I can think of is the cpu itself... Anyone else have any ideas or suggestions before I drop the cash on a new chip?
TIA
