Problems, possibly p4c800 *update*
Heres my rig
ASUS P4C800
P4 2.4
2 sticks 512meg corsair 466mhz ddr(3700)
2 Western Digital HDs, one is an 8meg cache.
PNY Geforce4 TI4400
Soundblaster Live
400Watt PSU
Thats it, Nothing Special.
I put it together with a 350watt psu. It ran Fine, it would run 2 instances of prime95, one on each virtual processor for 24 hours.
It would do this even at 3ghz, the processor would get up to 59C but it never complained. And this was only when running 2 instances of prime95. and i updated it to the newest version of the bios.
I was playing counterstrike and it started rebooting. So i ran 2 instances of prime95 and it says Hardware Error Roundoff>0.5 or something like that. So i underclocked it and turned off hyperthreading when running prime95 it would eventually reboot. Even with the most conservative settings it would reboot or generate an error. Asus probe said that it was only getting 2.8 volts on the 3.3 volt lead so i went out and bought a 400watt psu. The 3.3volt lead now says 3.29 or 3.2x and the 12 volt lead fluxes from 11.9-12.1 and the vcore fluctuates a little bit but it seems ok but it still reboots and generates errors. I tested the outlet that it was plugged into and the outlet shows no ground so i ran an extension cord to an outlet that showed that it did have a proper ground still doesnt work.
Summary, it worked for 2.5 weeks now it will hardly do anything and a new PSU didnt fix it. Any sugguestions. I'm going to pull everything out of it tonight and start systematically testing things but i'm not sure exactly what to do, i hope i dont have to RMA all this stuff
.
I also posted the problem here but nobody seems to have any ideas.
