No. My Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) anti-virus runs once a week, so this would be happening on a weekly basis if that were the case. I'm also running AVG anti-virus every night in addition to the MSE anti-virus which runs once a week (Sunday night). I just un-installed the MSE anti-virus...

I was kinda thinkin' that myself. I never shut it down. I might re-start the system once a month. The computer is performing great, I see no evidence of any damage to the system, no error messages or anything like that. I'm just wondering why it only happens about once a month in the middle of...

Nah... I've been monitoring the CPU Temperature with CoreTemp and it's consistently between 35-45c. Every once in a while it will spike to 55c, but I don't think I've seen it much higher than that. I do have the overheat protection on the CoreTemp settings set to "shut down" in the event the CPU...

I have two 1 terabyte HDD in a RAID 1 configuration if that matters.

It is definitely shutting down. I have it set to "never" hibernate. I just checked advanced power settings, and hybrid sleep was "on", (not sure what that is) I have turned it to "off", but I don't think that was the culprit. Like I said, it is shutting down about once a month.

I've got a RAID 1 configuration (2 one terabyte HDD's) does that matter?

Hi Guys. Quick question, I've noticed about once a month that my Desktop is shutting down overnight. I get up in the morning and it has shut down while I was sleeping. Not re-started...shut down. I've been monitoring my processor temperature, and it is usually in the mid to high...

Hi everyone. Building my 2nd computer, and having a bit of a hard time installing windows 7. Installed Power Supply, ASUS M4A88T-M MOBO, RAM, AMD Athlon II X3 455 RANA Processor, DVD ROM Drive and Hard Drive. Have not installed Wireless Network Adapter yet because instructions say to install...

Thanks a lot Johnb35. That diagram is very helpful, I will try it tomorrow. I really appreciate you and cabinfever taking the time to respond. 3 connections "power switch", "reset switch", and "HDD LED".

Thanks for your effort cabinfever, much appreciated, but these connections are 2 pins each. and there are only 3 of them.

Hi everyone. I'm building my daughter a new desktop (Cheap Word Document/Homework type of machine) I've got a Diablotek Epic ATX Mid Tower case , and a ECS A885GM-A2 Mobo. I can't find any diagram of the front panel connections anywhere in the documentation provided with the Mobo. Can anyone...

Had the RAM in the wrong DIMM slots. As soon as I moved them over, everything worked fine.

I can't get a display on my monitor. I put the MOBO Driver CD in the optical Drive, and re-booted still no display. It should boot directly to the BIOS without a CD anyway... correct? No display, no audio, no HDD LED. Chassis Front Panel connections seem right, (IDE LED+/- is the same as HDD LED...

Just finished my first system build. Tried to boot up for the first time, but got no display on my monitor. The ASUS P6T Motherboard Power and reset buttons are lit on the MOBO itself, so I know it's getting power. All fans are functioning properly (including Graphics card, Radeon HD 4850). Does...

Core i7 Heatsink/Fan Thanks wolfeking, I'll take your advice.

Hey Guys. After installing my Core i7 920 stock heatsink/fan, I noticed after a couple of days, that it had popped out of a couple of holes on the motherboard. This is my first build, so I'm sure I didn't secure it properly in the first place. I took the heatsink/fan unit completely off, and...

Where do these wires plug in on an ASUS P6T?

I'm building my first computer, and have a question regarding an optical drive. I have the CoolerMaster HAF 932 for my case, and I've just ordered a LG Blu-ray Disc Combo Model UH10LS20. Problem is I just noticed that the width of the Blu-ray optical drive is 5.7", and the optical drive bays on...
