Random Restarts

[Dav0s]

yep, its under "Advanced BIOS Features"

apic mode = disabled

 

[wafc]

i think i've found it, but i can't enable or disable it :eyes:

 

[wafc]

just got an email from dfi and they say that the problem is my psu . I've only just got it and can't afford to go out and buy another one

 

[FarFarAway]

RMA it saying it won't run the board. Get refund. Get new PSU

 

[wafc]

will they let me do that? i got it from overclockers.co.uk

 

[FarFarAway]

Well if its fucking up your PC I don't see why not. You could send them the e-mail from DFI veryfying that.

Give it a go mate

 

[wafc]

well i've just sent them OC an email to tell them about the problem. There is only three PSU they say to use and one of them i got rid of.

 

[Dav0s]

dont listne to dfi, they always blame the psu when their boards mess up.

 

[wafc]

not much i can do at the minute as i want a working PC for once

edit: OC have said that they will RMA the PSU and will replace it with Enermax Noisetaker 535W EG565AX-VE(W) SFMA ATX2.0 SLI Compliant PSU, but i've checked and that is much cheaper then i have paid for the seasonic and they have not said about me getting any money back

I spent ages with random restarts, things got gradually worse until i couldn't even make it into windows. Turned out a big blob of solder was shorting against my case where i'd missed one of the screws putting the motherboard in.

So yeah, you could try running your comp with the mb outside the case if yr at your wits end. Worth it as a last result before sending the board back.

 

[FarFarAway]

Agreed

What RAM are you using again?

 

[wafc]

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC4000 Dual Channel Gold GX XTC

 

[FarFarAway]

Hey mate

Have you checked these fully using Memtest86+ and Prime RAM tests?

 

[wafc]
