This is my specs
Rampage 2 extreme
Intel core i7(only thing bought form ebay, but came sealed, box was a bit damaged)
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 XXX Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Patriot Viper 12GB (6x2GB)
corsair 750w
,
my problem is that the computer randomly shuts down, ive tested the ram 100% fine, the psu, i used the pin test as said on corsair website, i sent the motherboard back believing it was problem, overclockers said it was fine, i took it too shop thye said motherboard, but i know it isnt. I dont know is it the cpu thtas all thats left
, i have no more money to trow around buying a new cpu to test my theory out.
Any help??
(problem from moment turn on, expect when first turned on stayed on about 1-3 hours, then it shuts down no warnings, no retsart, i get depressed and sick thinking about my 1500 i spent on this
)
i know this is free so greatly appreciate any help, thanks a mill even if it dont fix the problem, i love u if it does
Update:I ask intel they say 1600mhz memory isnt compatible with intel core i7920, that may be cause of random shutdowns, only DDR3-800/1066 ram is compatible, I now know i need to overclock the cpue to atleats 3.2 to get ram to work, but how do i do that if comp shuts down :/ and will it work....
