Hi there.
I´ve been having problems with my PC recently and I was looking forward to get some answers or pieces of advice.
Im going to start with the specs of my PC then:
CPU: Intel i7 950 @ Stock
MoBO: ASUS P6X58D-E
RAM: Kingston HyperX T1 DDR3 1600 MHz 3 x 2 GB (HyperX Fan)
HDD: Samsung SATA2 1.5 TB
GPU Zotac GeForce GTX 580 @ Stock
PSU: Antec TruePower Quattro 1000 W
CPU Cooler: Antec Kuhler h2o 620 (Push/Pull configuration)
Case: Antec Nine Hundred 2
DVD: Sony DVD Writer
SO: Windows 7 64bit
Misc: Logysis Cold Cathodes Lights (2 lights with one inverter)
This isn't a new build, I've built it on March of this year.
A week ago, I tried to use my computer but when I started turned it on, my fans started spinning and their respective LEDs turned on, two seconds passed the computer shutted down and started again automatically doing the same, like an endless loop. The only way to stop it was to cut the power to the PSU from my wall socket with the PSU switch. I tried several times turning it on but the same kept happening. So I decided to disassemble the system and try to run the system with the devices needed only (I think thats what some people call breadbording) but the same kept happening. Then I cleared the CMOS with a Reset Switch on the I/O backplate and then the PC booted. I was able to access to Windows so as I think the problem was solved I turned it down and access BIOS for the basic configuration. I noticed that the speed of my RAM was 1066 MHz, so what I was doing till this "event" happened was selecting the XMP option in my BIOS setup, so instead of doing the same I selected my RAM speed manually, selected 1600 MHz first, and then I changed the DRAM Voltage to 1.65, as the specs of the manufacturer (Kingston) says. I saved the changes and it booted (maybe some of you know but other may not so i want to say it, my motherboard has a feature called MemOk, that makes uncompatible RAM compatible when you push a button, and everytime my PC starts a red LED lights and then turns off and the PC continues to boot) the thing was that it tooked 2-3 seconds longer to boot but it did it.
So I used my PC as slesyd but the day after the same happened I did the same, and the same thing happened. At the third try I was getting a little angry if you know what I mean, and I thought about maybe this was happening due to a thermal problem but everything was OK, the GPU temp was 35° celsius, the CPU 31° celsius and the motherboard 28° celsius, but I remembered that there´s no way to see the RAM temps, so I while the PC was on I touched one of the RAM modules but it was normal, I mean it wasn't as a penguin's ass and it sure wasn't like touching a turned on lightbulb. But the thing was that when I was getting my hand out of the case I don´t know if I moved the HDD SATA cable or the HDD power cable, and the PC suddenly turned off and then it started again by her own. This time the PC booted in the same time it used to do before this problem happened, I´ve used it for 3 days with no problem.
Then while I was in Windows the system crashed and started again by itself. What I usssually do in my PC is play Battlefield 3 or GTA IV, the temps looked normal (GPU, and CPU) but the thing was that the PC didn´t crash while I was playing, it did while I was surfing the web or doing a short essay in Microsoft Word 2007. I formatted the PC and installed BF3 two days ago, been playing since today. Today my PC crashed in the morning but as I was in a hurry a didn´t worry to much. Later I wanted to play some BF3 and I did it, so after I got bored I was chatting and organising some folders and my computer crashed. It started again but itself, but this time, while I was entering my password in order to access to my user it crashed again, I tried again and the same happen. I turned of the PSU with its switch, waited 20 seconds and turned it on, then I turned on the PC but it did the same as it did before, the endless starts and shuts loop with no boot.
I don't know what else to do, any help or suggestions will be gladly accepted.
