Programs dying for no apparent reason.

i have yet so se a motherboard even remotly close to what they report and i have sofar looked on 5, 3 msi 1 asus 1abit.

Well i just checked th bios. And they read the same (+/- 0.01). It may have been stupid ewido, as its gone now and it seams to be fine.

the power supply is a factor as well and nick knows becuase theres a screenshot of the voltages.(it is not that high a possibility for them to be wrong)

you have some bad experiences with mobo's that does not mean they all will suffer with these problems.

glad you sorted it out ham

cheers.

well, i am far from alone to have had different reading in bios windows and with a digital voltmeter.

i have talked to over 15 people regarding this and a couple of them have their own computer companies so no its not a random problem its a fact and it comes from using the cheapest sensor chips possible.

also according to a page i read at amd.com some time ago they have found the temp sensors to often be wrong, up to 30celsius and they found that most of the time the temp sensors shows to little.

their is also the probllem with different reading in bios and windows too.

so myself i never trust any reported values as it has been proven over and over again that the manufactures cant make it right.

My mobo reports within 0.05v of my DMM

I never see a program or a processus close due to an hardware pb ! For me its a software pb ... drivers or dll, a programm, a windows service, something like that.

Check your event viewer (in computer management) for any info.

I've often seen programs close due to hardware problems. Infact i see it all the time.

When overclocking too far i often get Firefox closing on me and of course games crashing.

And whats with the thread revival :/

Thats total crap

I've crashed when overclocking too much/bad memory/bad HDD and many other hardware related issues. It's the nature of the beast

"im crazy" about you XMS, always the same when i post here... if i say white, you say black... if i say no, you say yes but maybe you are right this time

Then try to set up defaults voltages and see if the pb persist.

[FarFarAway]

He is right. You can crash out windows programs due to any multitude of hardware issues

Maybe it's just that he knows and you don't??

@Ham: you still getting these issues?
