PC just cut out

CliffyBiro · 3 Aug 2008 at 18:54

My 4 month old system has just cut out for the first time without any warning or blue screen. It just cut out then booted up again.

I wasn't doing anything really intensive, just watching some TV and browsing with CPU temp at around 34C.

Have no idea what could have caused it.

Any ideas?

Sounds strange, but I had a similar problem with under voltage on a graphics card. It would just reset itself, without warning. It might be worth checking the voltage settings in your BIOS and the recomended settigns for your card. Do you have the proper PSU connectors for it?

I had the same thing happen before i got my new pc stable, i bumped the volts up a few clicks and its not happened since. now running stable, worth a try i guess unless you are close to your oc limit

I haven't touched the voltages in the BIOS. All set to AUTO cause I haven't had time to OC.

make sure you turn off the auto reboot function so that you can see the BSOD when it happens next time
