Hey all this pc I have keeps randomly cutting power then restarting, specs are:
Asus P8B-X V1.0 – Latest Bios
Intel Xeon E3-1270
32 GB ECC Unbuffered DDR3, 4x8gb dims
2x 60gb SSD drives on Intel on board RAID 1 mirroring
6x SATA drives on intel chipset (4 physical ports)
LSI Logic SAS3444E 3Gb/s SAS PCI-E Controller, 2 remaining sata drives on this.
2 x Fujitsu 147 GB,Internal,15000 RPM SAS drives on 2 remaining ports on SAS controller card running RAID 0 (scratch disk)
Zalman ZM1000-HP 1000W Heat Pipe Cooled Quiet 80Plus - Modular Power Supply PSU
ATI RADEON 7850 Graphics 2gb PCI-E x16 (6 pin power plug)
The system is setup for a RAID 1 on the main system drive, 6 SATA drives are a storage pool under windows 8 pro.
The SAS drives are on the main SATA power rail on there own, all other drives are powered by separate SATA cables/different rail from the PSU.
The SAS drives are a scratch disk, pc is used for editing video and pictures.
Whats going wrong is, the PC will just cut out the power at RANDOM times, for example it will boot to Windows 8 desktop and cut out after 1 minute or boot, does stuff, use pc for 30 mins and then it randomly cuts out, its never really ran for more than 20-30 mins before cutting off.
Once it cuts out, the pc is 'dead' for 2 seconds then it just boots itself and powers up again.
HELP, why is it doing this ??! The PSU should be plenty to power that?!
