New Build but crashing

timmymeuk1 · 21 Apr 2010 at 17:17

Ive been having trouble with a system i built for someone. I have had the ram replaced because faulty ram but now im kind of going on its more the cpu!

Ive tried a differnt cpu in and it doesnt crash or blue screen.

I did some prime95 on it and it keeps just restarting but i shoved in a old 1.8ghz one and its not even crashed yet!

So question is. is it my cpu??? for sure? lol

Im using the e6500. should i replace it or get differnt model? got £57 budget if replace with differnt.

Is the motherboard compatible with the E6500, does it have the latest bios installed, did you load the BIOS defaults, is the ram setup on auto or manually with correct voltages etc...

Need more details, Motherboard, RAM and PSU for starters...

Could be PSU, but could also be CPU TEMP, if you can get into the BIOS, look to see what TEMP the chip is running at...
