Hey,
I have built my new PC and started experiencing some issues. Firstly, here's the list of parts:
Power Supply - Streacom PicoPsu 150W + 150W Adapter Power Kit (12V, 12.5A)
Motherboard - Zotac H61-ITX-A-E (Wifi)
CPU - Intel Core i5 2405S (energy efficient to 65W, graphics Intel HD 3000)
Cooler - Scythe Kozuti 1000
RAM - GSkill 2x4GB
HDD SDD - SanDisk Ultra 60Gb
(for the sake of testing, I have set up the system outside the case)
I had no problems combining the parts and I have no problems accessing BIOS and running the machine outside windows (PC makes no sound on the start, although I heard that it should make a beep or something...). But once I boot into Windows 7, the PC start shutting down and rebooting randomly. It happens only when some heavy activity is performed such as opening multiple tabs in Chrome, watching a movie or other applications ... I have tried to identify the problem with various stress applications and here are the results:
RealTemp - the temperature of each core is around 30-35C, which I believe is normal and should not cause any problems.
Memtest86 (outside windows) - tested rams (one by one, together) show no errors in 15 tests.
Intel Burn Test - after 1-2 minutes in action, the PC reboots. The CPU usage at 100%, but the total watt usage is around 40Watt, which means that could not be the PSU issue. I am able to keep the PC running and boot into windows for hours, but not when activity is increased, so the PSU seems to be enough for my system.
Prime95 - once I try to test the Small FFTs, the system shuts down / reboots immediately, no BSOD, nothing, just a crash.
I have tried using the LIVE CD of Ubuntu, by removing the SSD, and the same problem persists - at some point in loading the PC reboots, meaning that there should be no problems with SSD. I also tried installing into HDD - same issues. Decided to stick to SSD for faster load and testing times.
The following are the H/W Monitoring results from BIOS:
Cpu Temperature 39C
System Fan Speed 4607 RPM
CPU Fan SPeed 1797 RPM
VCORE +1.064
VDIMM +1.552
VPCH +1.088
AVCC +3.328
3VCC +3.328
VSB3 +3.296
VBAT +3.136
Maybe I should adjust something in BIOS or return the CPU and ask for the new one? I would be very grateful if someone could help me identify the issue
