System keeps rebooting ?

[paulstung]

Since I've had the new build up and running I keep getting a kernel power error 41 task category 63, I can be simply browsing or even at idle, there is no specific point where it can happen. It would even happen running out of box state, or with an overclock.

Specs are, Asus Gryphon Z97
Intel Pentium G3258 currnetly at 4.5 @1v
Sapphire R9 270x Toxic
Bitfenix fury 550w
4 ssd's
1 x 140mm 2 x 120mm and 1 x 20mm fans
And the cpu is under water.

here is the log .

Did a quick Google search and they pretty much all came up with 'change some settings'. I didn't even see one where the problem was faulty hardware.

From what I'm reading this is a very random issue and pinpointing the source is a bit like stabbing in the dark, but I guess it's worth a shot to try a few things:

- Disable screensaver
- Enable LAN, Mouse and Keyboard to wake up the computer (device manager and/or Bios).
- Change you Power Plan http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-create-delete-power-plan-scheme#1TC=windows-7
- Update all drivers
- Windows Updates
- Reset Adobe Flash Player

Hardware wise:
- Run memtest, or try different configurations slots and dimms.
- Make sure all the PSU cables (external and internal) are plugged in correctly.
- Try a different PSU.

You should try Clearing CMOS
OR/AND Try a different PSU

Mmmm ID 41 a usual computer balls up. quick list of things to check.

1. Overclocking: Disable overclocking to see whether the issue occurs when the system is run at the correct speed.
2. Check the memory: Verify the memory by using a memory checker. Verify that each memory chip is the same speed and that it is configured correctly in the system.
3. Power supply: Make sure that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately handle the installed devices. If you added memory, installed a newer processor, installed additional drives, or added external devices, such devices can require more energy than the current power supply can provide consistently.
4. Overheating: Check whether the system is overheating by examining the internal temperature of the hardware.
5. Defaults: Reset the system back to the system defaults to see whether the issues occur when the system is running in its default configuration.

my 1st worry would be 12v rail
i would download occt. "it monitors and displays voltage readings"
i would just sit there watching them for a bit see what they say..

if they seem fine i would then run a psu stress test. OR cpu linpac "using occt"
both of these should create enough load to show up any ridiculous drops.

They were my first checks I done mate, I ran memtest for about 3 hours yesterday on each stick, and with both sticks . It happens with or without overclock, according to my power usage meter I'm pulling around 85 watts at idle that's when most of the balls up happens, temps are fine all bellow 47.

Trying a different psu is my next try, as my pump a Koolance PMP500 won't work with the fury, at the moment until my new pump comes tomorrow, I'm using an external unit just for the molex the pump needs.

It's one of the most common errors, but without a common fix, I'm stripping it down later, ready for some mods, and a new pump and res to be fitted so I'll try then. Cheers guys.

Is there no other info in the event viewer? As your bug check throws up nothing so you can't even Hex translate it.

I shall take another look now matey. No nothing mate.


I'm not sure if this might be linked but I'm also getting a miss mash of readings, my overclock is a basic 45, and 1v with the ram set manually to 2400 and the correct timings and voltage to match, but nothing is picking it up, core temp Intel cpu usage and occt are all reading 800MHz and 3.5GHz, but my actual bios setting are as stated 100 x 45 @ 1v, but the hardware monitor side bar in the bios is saying the same as core temp OCCT and cpu usage monitor, but the ram is saying what it is set up at.

 

[shambles1980]

not sure but do these have to have speed step and turbo mode enabled to oc?
but id figure out the reason for the restarts 1st.

i know gygabity had a rediculously conveluted method of reseting the cmos then bootig to windows then restarting before you could apply oc settings again after 3 crashes/fail to boots and it reset itself to stock. but i dont think thats the issue.

No Asus have a simple F10, to exit, then it pops up saying what you've changed, then asks if you accept, the changes then you Enter out.

I've just tried running OCCT psu, only for it to give me Crysis2.EXE, here's a snip.



I haven't even got Crysis 2 installed

 

[shambles1980]

im sure the directx 11 redistributable will fix that.
il go run occt in a bit and check what the exe it runs is. but it runs a gppu and cpu test at the same time to stress the psu, so i guess it could be using something from crysis to stress the gpu. but my version dosent look like its running crysis lol.
