Used only one stick of RAM during installation this time, 1GB. ![]() A new and fresh install of Vista Ultimate 64bit. Also did several benchmarks and overclocked with good results. At least its been running stable for the last 18-20 hours or so. I will not go any further anyway until I am 110% sure the pc is working. As I said I have already installed Vista again, so it doesnt matter if I have to test something that means I must "clear all of it" or something like that. Just ask if there is some info missing or if I should test something. Probably too much info already to keep your attention I disconnected USB and Firewire connections, but still no luck.Īs mentioned I have also tried different BIOS versions. I have tried all kind of RAM possibilities switched sticks and tried them in all slots. I have now installed Vista 32bit instead, just to see if that could help regarding drivers etc - but no luck. After the benchmark, all temps went down to below 40 after a few mins. CPU was just above 60, GPU was 68 and the rest below 50. I ran the test with all fans OFF (except case fans), just to check the temps. Yesterday I "managed" to keep it going long enough to finish 3DMark06. Its just a "nice and clean" restart, just like when you hit the Restart-button on the case screen goes black, the pc gives you the "beep" (only one beep like normal) and then it starts all over as described above. No matter when the restart happens, there are no warnings, no ugly sounds, no blue screen. Sometimes it just keeps rebooting on start-up, sometimes it restarts before I can get to the point where I enter Windows. If Im lucky I can use the pc for maybe 1 hour before it restarts. Please keep in mind that the pc was working just fine with everything connected from day 1.Īfter about 1 week another, and more serious problems arise sudden restarts all the time. No changes.Ħ - Also disconnected lots of stuff incl USB connections, one disk and memory sticks, but no changes. But still with the same problemĥ - I took out the CMOS battery and kept it out for 30-40mins. If I hit DEL like a mad man it sometimes takes me to "Safe Mode etc etc"Ĥ - I got some real heavy problems after fiddling around and had to move the jumper to start from BIOS 1 and then flashed the latest version using a USB stick - so I got the pc up and running again. After a few days of "normal use", I installed Crysis (just to try that on my new rig) and went back to BIOS to overclock a little - but now I cant access the BIOS, and this is where the problems starts:ġ - To get access to BIOS from this point, I have to either Flash it or CLR CMOSĢ - No matter which BIOS version Im trying (2104, 1901, 1802, 1307 so far), it only lets me in the first time I hit DEL, after that it just "locks up"ģ - When I hit DEL, it only takes me to the "Start Windows Normally" and "Run memory diagnostics". Did some benchmarks (3DMark06, PCMark etc) and checked temperatures. Did some very small changes (no heavy overclocking) and restarted. After tweaking Vista and installing drivers, programs etc, I did a restart and went into BIOS to check the sweet stuff Installed Vista Ultimate 64Bit, all ok so far Everything started up perfectly from the first try ![]() ![]() I will try to keep this as simple, yet as detailed, as possible * Memory Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC6400 CL4 E.P.P Im no expert in computers, but at least Im past that stage. Asus is NOT helping me (told me to return the board after my first email) and the retailer just keeps asking me if I really know how to get into BIOS. I wont make a long introduction to my first post in here, but after Googling for this problem I ended up in here to see if I could get some help.
