View Full Version : cold boot won't go?
Hmmm, this has happened for the last 3 days already. I wake up and turn on my comp, and it won't get into windows. I'll have to reboot a few times to get it to go. I assume this is the result of not enough voltage b/c all my hardware is sucking power simultaneously? I'm now at 1.575 from 1.550.
What size PSU have you got?
300w no name. Should be more than sufficient. My +5 line is constant and normal so no problems there. This problem should go away when I boot up again in the morning. Probably just didn't add enough voltage to make it past POST.
I've got a 300 watt no name PSU sitting here....Caused my system to run hotter due to it's poor ventilitation and caused MBM alarms to go off running prime 95 saying my +5 volt line was too low! The 250 watt AOpen PSU i'm using at the moment is better, and that's only just!

dude, time for an Enermax :D
Oh I wish...Got the money here for one but the suppliers have closed down until after new years and as a result none of the retailers are open....The ones that are open only have 250 watt PSU's in stock!
Ok, I've got more temperature related problems. Just came back from a LAn party. Oh my, my computer couldn't handle the heat there with my OC so I had to jack it down to default again. A couple of my friends with Celly 800s (OCed to 1066) ran between 16-22 degrees c with regular cooling. But they glued 3 fans to the heatsink so yeah. Anyways, once I came home, assembled everything again and booted up. I headed straight to bios and put it back up to 1.44 1.575v and booted. No go. I checked temps 2nd time when I went back to bios. 26 for cpu. After a few boots, it loaded. I'm baffled now. Runs stable at that speed and at that voltage, but what's crapping it from a cold boot? I'm sure voltage is more than enough.
If you can just 'try' a different PSU....I'd be interested to see what happens....

Perhaps you should try a reformat and fresh reinstall.
Try a burn in... :beer:

A different PS wouldn't make much of a difference, I can almost guarantee. The 2 of my friends with the Celly 1066's both have 250w PS units and one of them have 8 fans attached inside so I HIGHLY doubt a PS will do the trick. As well, unlike yourself, my 5v line is stable at or around 5 so I see no problems with the PS being weak, if that's what you're referring to.
I've been burning in with Prime95 for a few days now. Will need more burn in that's for sure. Any other good burn in programs? I've heard toast, but haven't found links to downloads yet.
