Finally got this machine working and now it hangs randomly
DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2000 MHz (10 x 200) 3800+
Abit AN8
2GB Crucial PC3200 3-3-3-8 2T
Seasonic 600W
250GB WD drive
eVGA Geforce 6800GS
antec p180 case
Had a problem before with the PC turning off when installing drivers
or booting windows.
Solved it by setting memory timing to 2T.
Now it hangs randomly. Sometimes while playing a game
or surfing the web so its not an intensity thing.
Did get a BSOD once, MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
Disable BIOS memory options such as shodowing or caching
temps are good for cpu, system and graphics
26C CPU at idle, ran prime95 for a few hours,only got to 40
system 32C at idle
GPU 44C idle, about 48 under load
the one thing i did notice is the HD temp is at 52.
I moved it around the case and put a 80mm fan blowing
directly across it. no change...52C while typing this
and nothing running. (these temps are from EVEREST and speedfan).
installed latest nforce drivers. DID NOT install nvidia IDE drivers or nvidia firewall crap. so those can't be causing it. heard the nvidia IDE causes hangs.
I am NOT using cool and quiet either (heard this causes hangs).
Ran memtest for 23 hours, no errors
ran with 1 stick of memory, then the other. both froze, so they're either both bad or something else is causing the freezes.
tried with 1 stick of ram (tried both individually), froze both times.
speedfan temp is 49C at idle. so temps are the same. 5V = 5.12 12 = 12.11. used online analysis and it said it was very good in all things.
The average temperature for this hard disk is 46C (MIN=27C MAX=64C) and yours is 50C.
other voltages: HTV - 1.21, VCORE - 1.33, DDRVDD - 2.67 (raised this from 2.6 in BIOS), 3.3 - 3.32, nforceSB 1.51, nforce4 1.59, DDRVTT - 1.34, COU VDDA - 2.56
I bought everything a few weeks ago, so what should i be returning to newegg? memory, hard drive, MB?
newegg reviews of this HD have a lot of neg. reviews about temps and DOA's. Also, the MB has a lot of complaints. wish i read all the reviews before buying
Please help if you can
