OPTY 185 Prob

[mildot]

Hi all,

Just upgraded my X2 4400 to an opty 185. However when i run a bench mark program or a game etc after a few minutes or so the computer shut down!

I have reset my default bios settings, i have also tried changing other settings and also the vcore volts but nothing seems to stop it from crashing!

I have also checked the temps to ensure that its not over heating and all seem ok.

Its fitted to a system in signature.

Any ideas please!

if its being triggered by load then its likely to be either heat or psu not able to deliver.

possibly a poorly seated heatsink/fan or waterblock maybe ??

EDIT : I see you are on water , recheck your temps and check that block

EDIT : Godamn I need to learn to read properly , you have checked your temps , hmmm , you've checked temps whilst loading the cpu running say orthos ?

Where do i get orthos?

Just type it into google, plenty of download options.

I'd put my money on the PSU not deliverying / incorrect vCore settings in the bios. What is your vCore set at in the bios mate?

My psu shouldnt be a prob i bought a decent one! think its an antec 550w Neo HE! At the moment im using a mates comp as i dont have internet at the moment! long story!

The vcore is reading at 1.35v however i have upped it to 1.3625 and 1 notch higher! still does it. I will try going up a little higher.

It cant be the temps! i cant get the cpu higher than 45c or the graphics higher than 40c

bios update maybe?

Memory speeds/timings if it's not temps?

I ran Orthos and no probs. Temps are fine. Also upping the volts dont seem to make any difference! i also upped the volts on all items but to no avail.

For some reason im starting to think it may be a graphics problem! as it only seems to shut down when there are graphics involved! However it seems abit of a coincidence! as i didnt even touch the graphics card! and the temp are also fine.

p.s My bios is 1009 which seems to be the latest. and my m/b drivers are 6.65.

I have reset all bios settings to default,

There have been issues with antec A8N boards and Antec HE PSU's reported

One user reported that disablining the hardware monitoring of voltages in the BIOS solved his shutdown issues.

Ok i tried disabling the volts monitoring but still no good.
