+3.3v issues

brat · 10-07-2007, 04:25 PM

I have an Asus P4S800-DX motherboard and I am having issues, when my video card is doing its thing the Asus Probe +3.3v starts going crazy, I am having lots of problems with freezes in games and was wondering if it could be memory related? I got a gig of paired ocz memory or corsair memory awhile back for my other motherboard and I had the same problem with the other motherboard and ive changed out alot of hardware trying to figure it out. Video cards, hard drives, monitor, motherboard, power supply, more cooling, soundcard deinstall, and you guys are my last hope.

I have a Pentium 4 Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~3067 Mhz with Hyperthreading (socket 478) with an Asus P4S800-DX motherboard Hyperthreading capable with 1gig (2 X 512) of pc2700 333 ram that has this kind of spec from OCZ CL2.5 Memory and I just set it from Auto to 333 clock in the bios. I have never upgraded the bios. I have one 300 gig (only partitioned for 127 gig, ya I know Im a lout for not fixing it) SATA Western Digital Hard drive with a hard drive cooler, a floppy drive (not working atm), a dvd/cd player and a cd burner in the system. CD burners going to be ditched because of eject problems. An aluminum case, I am only using the usb ports that are on the Motherboard, onboard audio from Soundmax, an onboard realtek ethernet port, one NVidia Gforce 7800 GS and a new Ultra 600 watt PSU. Ultra / X-Finity / 600-Watt / ATX / Dual 80mm Fan / SATA-Ready / SLI Ready / Blue / Power Supply. This was an upgrade from a 400 watt power supply. All fans have been upgraded and cooling capacity was added to my old ATI card in case it was a heat issue causing all my crashes. I think it is something to do with the 3.3volt problem. If you want me to paste something in from a readout somewhere let me know from where, im a bit rusty in where to find it at, due to too much work and not enough of me to go around.

ack its a SIS ethernet onboard adapter

try and borrow another supply to try

Its not the power supply the last one was doing the same exact thing and I was having the exact same issues. I think the problem is related to the fact that my system is a pig. I noticed on the SISoftware its about time for me to upgrade, it was very bottom of the barrel on all the tests. But I have been having these issues since they started using direct X 9.0c in Everquest, but I have heard that many people that were playing many different games mostly MMORPG's had the same issues. They are trying to force a basketball down a garden hose worth of bus.

why are you running slower ram in your board? your board accepts pc3200 ddr400 I assume.
those p4 @3 gig are burners, try it with the side off with a fan..and H>T> disabled in your bios.

I fixed it myself! The overclocking pc 2700 ram that was in my board was the issue all along! It kept causing the 3.3v rail to go bonkers. Now I have 2 gigs of pc 3200 of Buffalo memory. They can take that OCZ memory and shove it!
