Re: Computer restarting

Someone on another forum suggested that the mobo might not be able to handle the voltage of 4 ram sticks. Currently running with just 2 sticks and has lasted alot longer without crashing. Will try the the other two sticks out tomorrow and maybe try 3. Feeling hopeful that I might finally gave a solu...

Re: Computer restarting

Update: Tried turning the RAM voltage up. Put it up to 2.0V from 1.8V initially as any higher than that was highlighted in orange (which I took as a warning). The computer kept failing to startup after that, took 4-5 times before I could get as far as the BIOS screen to turn the voltage back down. I...

Re: Computer restarting

I've just looked at the system temps in a bit more detail. The majority of sensors are showing between 30-40. One sensor is between 55-60 degrees, its for the nVidia SPP. Any chance that it could be part of the problem? I just ask because it appears to be running alot hotter than the other parts. Th...

Re: Computer restarting

I'll try that out tonight. I did read somewhere earlier that this motherboard doesn't cope well with RAM voltages above 1.8V. I guess we'll see when try it out tonight.

Re: Computer restarting

The motherboard is a Gigabyte Technology, GA-N650SLI-DS4L. It's got the Nvidia nForce 650i SLI SPP chipset. According to the program you linked it is used BIOS F2. This isn't actually listed on their website, they show an F1 and an F3. Although the date of F2 confirms it is an earlier version than F...

Re: Computer restarting

In the BIOS it said: Vcore 1.266V DDR2 1.8V 1.952V +3.3V 3.264V +12V 12.048V All the voltage controls are set to automatic, and seem to be set to "normal". I've not looked into BIOS updates yet, is it a simple process? There are two versions of the BIOS on the website. A first release and ...

Computer restarting

I've been having an issue with my comp for a while. When under loads (usually gaming) the computer will do a full restart, no blue screen or warning. At first I thought it might be the GPUs overheating (although I thought this would result in a blue screen) and downloaded Rivatuner. I used it to tur...
