These are my problems:

It blue screens on boot at 3.2ghz runnign at 1.4v with the north bridge at 1.26 and the ram at 2v.

The left side front usb doesn't work.

The pc crashes when moved.

The pc blue screened BF2 after about 40min runnign at 3ghz at 1.375v.

The pc once ad only once booted up saying corrupt windows, but then went on to boot anyway and has never done that again.

Im currently copying over my files and thinking about maybe i need to reinstall windows. But could that have caused all these problems?

I think that was a one off boot and that my mobo may need rmaing. What do you think?
 
What happens when you run it at stock?

Made sure the USB is wired up properly?
What's loose that makes the PC crash when moved?

A blue screen when overclocked does not = faulty components.
What cooling are you running on the CPU?

Have you taken everything apart and tried booting it out the case?
 
I have tryed at stock, but it still screws up when wobbled and the front left usb still doesn't work. Ive yet to run prime on it at stock though but i dont think overclocking is the problem, i think its the mobo.

Ive not tryed it out of the case, ive checked for lose bits and found none and i would have thought the fact it cant even get into windows at 3.2ghz with 1.4v, 2.6 mch and 2v on ram shows that there is something wrong.
 
Ahh that brings up annoying thing tyhat worries me. When i got the hard drive, it was already partitioned and vista installed straight away. With my friends a few days before he had to partition it.

have i got a rmaed one which has been fixed?

As for chip sets, ive installed thiose which came with the disk. I couldn't find a run file on the new ones off abit's website.

Perhaps my board has bad vdrop? But even still it shouldn't blue screen on start up surely/

O and another thingm, some times it gets stuck in restart loops where it wont even get to the bios and just keeps restarting over and over again.

What PSU are you running?
The fact that it crashes when moved really suggests that something is loose to me. Definately take it to bits and make sure.

Are you running the latest bios for your mobo?
For USB, unplug the cables and make sure they are in the right way, are you positive the USB port worked in the first place?
 
I just gave it a shake and it didn't crash :| i think its fixed its self lmao. As for usb's there is only 1 plug for both of them on my lian li case and one works and the other doesn't.

As for bios, im running the orginal at the moment. But my friend has his at 3.4ghz at 1.4v, i overclocked his. Everything of his seems to work but mine doesn't grrrr.

Also the mike jack doesn't work on mine.

:EDIT:

O it just crashed while installing adobe suite cs3... briliant.
 
Quick reading your previous topic... Did you ever reseat your Tuniq or at least loosen the screws a little? That bit doesn't sound good.
I'd also say you need to stay at stock clocks on everything until you've resolved the issue. Overclocking is only going to add more issues, make it work first, then try an overclock.

I'd say, take off CPU cooler, clean CPU and cooler, re-apply paste, reseat. (Don't over-tighten)
Take out graphics card, put back in, screw in securely. (Making sure back of card doesn't pop out the slot)
Take all cables out of mobo, plug them back in. (Sounds stupid but you'd be surprised)
Edit: Reseat RAM also, then update bios.

The front USB port not working might be annoying but the main issue at the moment is the fact your PC doesn't work. The USB port means nothing if you can't get the PC running stable in the first place.

Just forget about overclocking until you've found the problem.

It could be you just don't have a very good OCing CPU.

Exactly, forget about what your friends got, that means nothing. You have some major setup issues. I don't believe that the wobbling issue would have fixed itself at all, something is either loose/broken.
 
well im currently in the process of copying all files over so i can reinstall the os. Ill put it down to stock and run prime on it over night.

I am a bit supresed as to how its stoped. Before if i did a little nudge it crashed (even at stock). Now i can give it a good shake and it doesn't crash.

As for the usb, well i was thinking that perhaps that means that on the mobo is broke as well, unless its the case. Also my mike doesn't work in the mike jack, it picks it up but doesn't detect sound.
 
Not on mute is it? Or something stupid like the volume being down real low? :p

USB, I'd be more inclined to say it's the case if one port works but the other doesn't... Could be incorrect wiring though.
You really shouldn't have to be giving your PC a shake-test to see if it's stable, something isn't right with the way it's setup and without looking into it, you'll probably experience it again.
 
i have looked into it, several times. As for it being wired wrong, i cant see how thats possible as the usb connector will onyl go in the mobo one way and there is only one of them. And as for the shake test well if it was shorting would the screen freeze or crash? It used to freeze not turn off. I built my friends pc the exact same way.

Anyway, after reinstalling the os once ive got all my files off ill then run prime on it over night and then if i wake up to find its not crashed ill then have to find out why my mike and usb dont work. I have looked all over vista in every option and it doesn't work and i have checked my mike to see if it is muted. Id rather not have to take everything out unless there is no other alternative.
If after the restall it is all stable, what do you thnik i should do next to fix the mike and usb?

I still would like to know why my hard drive was allready partitioned.


:EDIT:

OCUK say it sounds like a mobo with instability issues.
