Hi.
My newly acquired system worked well for 3 days but then something happend!
Suddenly it started freezing(no shutdown,no BSOD) on facebook.It happend randomly.Then it started freezing during you tube videos.Yesterday it freezed with prime 95 not 5 seconds after I started it.
The CPU is running stock until I have my Case fans.
Here is my system:
- i5-3570k @3.4ghz turbo 3.8ghz
- ASrock Z77 extreme 4
- Noctua D14 SE2011 with the PWM fans and 1155 socket backplate
- NZXT Phantom 410
- XFX XXX 750w
- MSI gtx 670 power edition OC
- 2 x 4gb G.skill 1600mhz sniper low voltage(run at 1.25v)
- HDD sata 3 samsung 2 TB
- Windows 7 SP1
I ran Prime 95 and MSI Kombustor when I got the computer and the CPU was getting in the mid 50's and the GPU was about the same.
A few days went by and with them the freezes.I didnt flash the BIOS and was using the 310.70 GPU drivers.Didnt install no software either.
After the first freeze I ran memtest86+ and passed.
All I can think about is that either the PSU or Mobo have gone bad.Since the system barely pulls any power I am guessing the mobo was defective to begin with and is not feeding the CPU the power it needs.
On the other hand,the PSU could also be the problem.
I sent the machine to the store so they can figure it out since they were the ones who assemble it and assume full responsability for malfunctioning hardware for 2 years(thats why I had them built it in the first place).
The Cpu was also acting strangely.The load on core 0 was was 10-15% more than the rest.The temps on idle were also ~15º higher than the rest,usually 30-32º against 17-20 on the other cores.
Any ideas on the possible cause for this?
Also the system was close to the wall socket.I have 2x 5 plugs connector on it,one connected to the other so 9 available power sockets.My old machine never complained and I had a 700w PSU on it.
Thanks.
