Hey guys,
My computer has been randomly restarting for the past few days. I suspect the power supply. I am able to boot normally and I'm fairly certian it's not a software problem. My event log shows all "Error 41" notifications.
The problem happens while running idle (normal and safe mode in win 7) or during use. CPU tems are normal according to core temp (~35-40 C)
I have tried running memtest multiple times, however the computer will restart before I can complete a single pass. There is no BSOD message in win 7.
Because of the nature of the problem I suspect either the PSU or the mobo (possibly not directing power correctly). I am wondering what I can do to test this. Quickly browsing amazon, I see there are components specifically designed to test ATX PSUs. Would one of these be good? Or should I buy a DMM? I may just get a DMM anyways since I may need it for a class, but are ATX testers worth the $10-$20?
SPEC INFO:
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Core i7 930 @ stock
nVidia 470 GTX @ stock
ASUS P6X58D-E X58 R
Corsair CMPSU-750HX 750W
4GB Corsair RAM (idk model)
