Just Stay Running!!!

[RangerJoe]

alright, my computer doesnt constantly run anymore, it will either restart or shut off completely at odd times...what do you think the prob is

[Ottoman]

is it overclocked? does it happen even at idle? cpu intensive? 3d intensive?

sounds like PSU, except your's looks beefy enough..


have u tried monitoring your voltages?

ram?

could be a driver issue, I had probs similiar when using a VIA chipset...

turned out it was a BIOS config problem and poor manufacturing on VIA's part...

[RangerJoe]

well i know its not the psu...it better not be.
vore is at 1.76 - stock
voltage - 1.25v
+5v - 5.00v
3.3v - 3.30v
+12v - 12.10v
-12v - -12.00v
5v Standby - 5.01v
Battery - 3.17v

what do you think of all this

cpu is at 133x10 - not overclocked
its unlocked from the factory...

GREAT...now the pc speaker is beeping!!! WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG

[It_The_Cow]

Sounds like it may be the temperatures. Check your seating of the heatsink

[RangerJoe]

temps never go above 40
ever

[Ottoman]

what chipset do u have?

have u installed all the latest drivers for it?

[RangerJoe]

i have the KT266 chipset, i have the via 4 in 1 driver from the msi website, and to my knowledge, there isnt a new bios for the board.

[Ottoman]

hmm..

try setting your AGP driving strength to AA or AB...

[RangerJoe]

how do i manage that?

[Ottoman]

in your advanced chip setting in your BIOS,

set agp 2x, and driving value AA

[RangerJoe]

thanks...now the next problem, i need a new power switch for the computer.....the original one broke and i cant get a hold of the company, it is an enlight 7237...think they sell them???

oh....one more thing....if i have a floppy drive plugged into the mobo, the computer doesnt start.....any ideas? i tried two different drives and a couple different cables.

[Ottoman]

so did I fix your old prob?

is your floppy cable keyed? u may have it in backwards,
and u have to plug it into the one BEFORE the twist in the cable..

and is the actually power switch broken as in the 'clicker' or is it the case plastic part?

[RangerJoe]

the actual button is wrong, the case part is fine, but the ting that plugs into the mobo is messed

[Ottoman]

u mean the 2 pin jack? that looks like an oversized jumper?

how is it messed? is it fixable?

Check out this link for an idea on your switch.
