Please help me with this!

Hi everyone,

I built a PC for myself in 2011; and recently I've been having the PC just freeze and reboot with an error message "A Hyper Transport sync flood error occurred on last boot. Press F1 to Resume."

It appears as though there is no real pattern to the madness - occurs completely randomly.

I tried looking online and it seems as if this can be caused by a whole flood of reasons. I'm not really sure how I should proceed.

Here are my specs:

- MSI 870A-G55 AM3 770 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
- CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V/EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC Powersupply
- EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Graphics Card
- AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
- Western Digital WD Blue WD3200AAKX 320GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache HD
- Western Digital WD Black WD5002AALX 500 GB 7200 RPM 322 MB Cache HD
- HyperX 8GB (4x2GB) 240 Pin DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Memory

Thank you!

Well it turns out there is a fairly old thread about it here. Doesn't look like they came up with much either.

Just a question though, is everything at stock clocks? Because a bit of googling shows a few sites saying it may be caused by hypertransport being set too fast.

Yes, everything is at stock clocks. I'm not too too tech saavy and I don't use the computer to it's full capacity at all. Just thought it would be a nice project for me to build my own but looking back I may have done something wrong? :s

I doubt you did anything wrong or it would have shown up a lot quicker than 3 years later. You need to start testing components like memory, HDDs, etc. Unfortunately, unless you have spare parts to test with it's going to be hit and miss. For starters, I'd try running Memtest86 on the memory and making sure the voltage and timings are set correctly in BIOS as per Kingston's specs. Western digital has a downloadable tool that can be run to check your hard drives too, so try that also.

Also check MSI's web site for a newer BIOS release and make sure you're using the latest available.
