Mobo: Gigabyte 7DPXDW
CPU: x2 MP2100+ Palamino
HSF: x2 Akasa Ultra Quiet 80mm
PSU: Antec True Power 480W (I think)
Case: Akasa Zen (black) Modded to allow for better airflow))
Memory: x2 Axion DDR PC2100 ECC Registered 512MB <-- tried memtest+ and its good.
Optical: OEM DVD Drive
HDD: x1 30GB Quantum Fireball (Pretty old)
x1 120GB WD
x3 120 Case fans
x2 80mm Case Fans (Blue LED)
Connected to a Router
TEMPS:
When IDLE and FULL LOAD CPU0=48-55 CPU1=47-55 SYS=32-38
Initial Start CPU0=42 CPU1=34 SYS=27
At first I thought the problem with my computer was Mobo related so I posted here, http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17617159
but it now seems like it might be PSU related although I have other issues occuring that might mean it isn`t.
The further issues I have had apart from aparrent cold start is that the comp crashes when playing mp3s from the 120GB drive or via network in Windows Media Player, Prime95 (although it worked once) and viewing video files from msn. However it plays DVDs just fine in VLC and plays avi's via network in Windows Media Player.
I have yet to try a different PSU because it means taking my Noisetaker 600W out of my P180 case which is going to be a serious pain in the butt as anyone who has or has had a P180 would know.
I have tried Sisoft Sandra and its not really showing any problems I benchmarked everything and it didn`t crash.
So please please please is there anyone who could give me an idea of what might be up? Or what to try further?
