Hi all,
First all i'm new here so i couldn't really find a suitable forum section to put this in.
I have a strange problem which is going on for a couple of weeks/months now. Like every 1 or 2 weeks my PC decides to shut itself down during Idle or Browsring the internet. It never happens during gaming which is a load operation. It simply shuts itself down and i have to press the power button again, it boots up normaly again without giving an error message after startup. I checked the Windows Log files a couple of times aswell at the time it shut down but it doesn't really tell anything that could have caused it.
Here is my PC Specs:
CPU:
Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.66 Ghz (166 x 22)
Voltage: 1.125 Normal, DVID +0.125 (Load-line Calibration Standard Intel Spec)
Cooler: Noctua NH-C14 Push/Pull 750 RPM
Temps: Idle 37C - Load (Gaming) 65C
Motherboard:
Gigabyte X58A-UD7 (Bios FC)
Memory:
GeIL DDR3 Ultra Tripple Channel 3x 2GB (7-7-7-24) (Voltage needed 1.65, set to 1.64)
(XMP 6-6-6-24 is unstable, BSOD Randomly)
Videocard:
Zotac GTX580 (Stock) (Arctic Accelero Xtreme Plus)
Installed in the first PCI-E 16x Slot
Soundcard:
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Titanium Pro
Harddisks:
OCZ Vertex 120GB (Firmware 1.6) (Windows Drive)
OCZ Vertex 120GB (Firmware 1.6) (Games Drive)
Samsung EcoGreen F1 HD103SI 1Tb (Storage)
All connected to the Intel controller
Power Supply:
Seasonic X750 GoldPlus 750 Watt
I recently swapped around the memory modules into different banks but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have the same system specs as before it started happening. I had the two OCZ Drives in Raid-0 before and recently seperated them as i thought that might could be the cause, but it's not. Seeing it doesn't happen during load it can't be the PSU or Videocard either. I'm kinda out of ideas what it could be tho i'm leaning towards memory for some reason.
If anyone has any ideas of what it could be or what i could try to figure it out id be very thankful.
