PC Isn't stable
Last response: in Systems
Hi,
I just got a new motherboard, CPU and RAM kit. I have;
Asus M4A88T-V Evo USB3 Board.
AMD Phenom 2.8Ghz 1055T
Corsair XMS 3 2x2gb RAM modules
Had a problem to start of, I turned on the PC and nothing would happen. Bios wouldn't display on the screen. Now It has passed that point and I can get into Windows now. However, after running GTA IV, the pc just sorta blanked out and stopped functioning. It just does it randomly. Can anyone think of the solution? I've checked the stickied thread and none seem to match my problem.

What are the rest of the PC specs?Check the event viewer to see if it's logging errors.
Run memtest to check your RAM.
Download CPUZ, and make sure your RAM timings/voltages match the manufacturer's specs, and set in the BIOS.
Kernel-Power failure?
I haven't done a mem test yet but it was the same with two different types of RAM.
Timings are meant to be 9-9-9-24 but some how they are set to 8-8-8-20, could this be a problem? Voltage is fine, 1.65v.
To other post, I haven't done a clean sweep of Windows, that could be the problem and I am going to test that soon.

States:
1. # Overclocking: Disable overclocking and see whether the issue happens when the system is run at the correct speed.
2. # Check the memory: Verify the memory by using a memory checker. Verify that each memory chip is the same speed and that it is configured correctly in the system.
3. # Power Supply: Make sure that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately handle the installed devices. If you added memory, installed a newer processor, installed additional drives, or added external devices, such devices may require more energy than the current power supply can provide consistently.
4. # Overheating: Check whether the system is overheating by examining the internal temperature of the hardware.
5. # Defaults: Use system defaults, and run the system.

Change your timmings to 9-9-9-24 and see if that works.
1. I haven't intentionally done any overclocking.
2. Memory in my opinion shuold be alright because it does the exact same thing with another module.
3. Power supply could be a problem as it's only 700W. Yet, it still played GTA IV and still done a 'hard hang' when I disabled 3 cores.
4. I highly doubt it is overheating as there is ample amount of cooling. Antec 902, Corsair A50 CPU cooler and an ATI 4890 which is of course stock cooling.
5. I've not tried bios defaults yet.
Specs:
Antec 902
Asus M4A88T-V Evo USB3 board
AMD Phenom II X6 2.8Ghz 1055T processor

ATI 4890 1GB GDDR5
1x WD 320GB SATA HD
1x Sony Optiarc CD/DVD Drive

Well, It seems to have all of a sudden changed:S.
DRAM CAS# Latency 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time 24
DRAM READ to PRE Time 5
DRAM Row Cycle Time 34
DRAM WRITE recovery Time 10
DRAM RAS# to RAS# Delay 5
DRAM READ to WRITE Delay 8
DRAM WRITE to READ Delay(DD) 2
DRAM WRITE To READ Delay(SD) 5
DRAM WRITE To WRITE Timing 4
DRAM READ To READ Timing 4
DRAM REF Cycle Time 110
DRAM Refresh Rate 7.8
DRAM Command Rate 1T
Ah, that would be a helpful tool right about now.
You may want to get one.

It seems to be pretty stable now, touch wood. I think this has been the longest it has been on. I will check for slack power cables if it fails again. If it was though? Wouldn't you think it would completely shut of the PC? Because the PC just displays a black screen and you can't even turn on the NUM Lock.
There isn't supposed to be standoffs under every hole. If you're using brass standoffs, they are only under the holes with the metal soldering around the holes. If you're using plastic standoffs, then they go under the holes without the metal soldering. If some are missing, but in the right hole, it's wont harm anything. It just won't provide the same support.
If the PC hasn't POSTed, then the keyboard wouldn't have initialized yet. So the number lock wouldn't come on.
