Anyone know if these numbers could be indicative of a PSU failure ??

Did check in BIOS and recorded the ranges over a 2 minute span which ended with a RESET... V Core = 1.83-1.86 V 3.3 V = 2.89-3.06 V 5 V = 4.97-5.06 V 12 V = 12.42-12.72 V (This was slowly but steadily climbing prior to RESET)...

That program should let you isolate which stick is giving you the trouble (assuming you have 2 x 512 MB)...the link I gave you has the user's guide...or you could just test each stick individually in the #1 DIMM socket on your Motherboard...

Will get some numbers from MBM5 later [provided it doesn't RESET on me]...

Since your computer is not x86 architecture, I'm assuming memtest86 cannot be used - am I wrong on this?? Nonetheless, Microsoft has a free download to check your RAM from a bootable floppy or CD. I d/l this last night and had done a full RAM scan within 15 min from a floppy. My RAM turned out...

Just ran Windows Memory Test (free d/l)...no RAM errors detected, computer randomly reset during third pass of diagnostic after being on for 20 minutes running fine...

Cannot find anywhere in my BIOS to enable this...what are you thoughts on it being the power supply...again it is like a RESET as the monitor goes off but the tower lights stay on...

Got a Northbridge fan, spliced the connector and it starts humming away....ran fine for 30 minutes, all temp readings cooler, then with no warning the same abrupt reset problem...rebooted, set BIOS to "Failsafe", and the reset occurred again after a few minutes...I'm thinking power supply or...

Sounds like the OS partitioned itself in part of the drive (probably "C") and created a second virtual drive (probably "D"). Easy way is when you're installing your program choose the proper drive when you're asked where you want the program to go - "Browse" , because by default it will usually...

Assuming you're running XP if this is the first time you've seen this don't worry it won't be the last. I noticed with mine when the Service Packs were added the frequency became less. Also XP has issues with cable modems if USB rather than Ethernet cable is used and will cause random crashes...

OK I hope you're right, but do Northbridge chip's have their own diagnostics or thermal cutout that causes the reset?? Again the MoBo is Gigabyte 7A-DX, computer about 3 years old. Can this temperature be monitored??I still don't understand why it shuts off without warning, actually I would...

Arrghhhh!!!............... Now shut itself off at 49 C !!! Power supply?!? Any way to tell??? ANY suggestions where else to look ???

OK the shutdowns started again, after computer had been fine for 24 hours... All virus checks with Norton current revisions OK, XP native Firewall up... Was running Overnet at the time (P2P app) and computer rapidly shut down. I know these programs are system hogs, but never before have...

Hmm...yeah though I had'nt really altered anything and uninstalled the Zone Alarm that had recently been added. I'm thinking of using Partition Magic to isolate the OS completely this time as I lost some files... The clean install has been working fine thus far...slowly adding back what I...

Sorry - temp(erature), and it never exceeded 49 degrees C... Currently doing a clean install - Safe Mode seemed to fix it all, Norton/SpySweeper turned up nothing... but then the same thing was happening again today...then would not start in any mode whatsoever- missing "xDLL files" ...damn...

Another victim Having similar problems the last 2 days...shuts down abrubtly anywhere from 1-5 min after startup, no BlueScreenOfDeath, looks like the monitor only goes down (tower lights stay on) but hard drive also stops spinning. Recently I replaced video card due to no video output and no...
