Hi everybody,
maybe you followed my martyrdom with my unstable system. After many tests, updates, config changes, ..... I have ended with another possible problem.
Again my system config:
Asus A7V133 Bios V1.04.02d - standard Chipset fan
AMD T-Bird 1,2 GHz Revision C (266 MHz FSB)
1 x 256 PC133 CL3 Infineon
Elsa Gladiac Ultra 64 MB DDR - standard fan
SoundBlaster Live Player 1024
Adaptec 2940AU SCSI Contrl.
3Com Etherlink PCI Network
IBM Deskstar 75GXP DTLA307030 (on Promise chip)
Pioneer DVD, SCSI
Pioneer CD-RW, SCSI
Alpha 6035 CPU HS, YS-Tech fan with 2,16 W
2 x 80mm case fans, 2 x GlobalWin 1,6 W
400W Leadman PSU LP-6100D
+3,3V 14A
+5V 30A
+12V 16A
-5V 0,3A
-12V 0,5A
+5Vsb 1,0A
Add the tolerance and you could end up in a worst case scenario with values lower than specified.
I have the suspect that my systems reaches the max (stable) power consumption on the +3,3V and +5V lines. So it could be possible that the system will get unstable in certain situations which will lead to a crash!
Up to now I could not proof this by testing - but I am still waiting on my Enermax 550W PSU to do this!
Can anybody comment on this?
Happy tweaking
