sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

First, in response to the latest question about doing anything else besides Prime95...mostly my system is just doing Prime95, sometimes I also play games, recently this has been Diablo II (how many times will I need to finish this game before I get tired of it?). Here's the latest info... I...

Q
sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

According to Soltek the DDR voltage is supposed to be 2.5, not 2.7. That makes my 2.47V pretty close to spec. I'm not sure why the referenced review said they were expecting 2.7. Thanks for the confirmation on my values, Boonesmi.

Q
sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

Thanks for the DDR Voltage pointer Buz2b. According to MBM it is running at 2.47 V, well below the 2.7 setting. Soltek did reply to my emails with info that it is possible that the shutdown is related to the ABS function and they have released a new BIOS version giving more access to this...

Q
sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

Thanks for more good ideas Buz2b. I'll check the RAM temp when I get home tonight. Maybe I'll move the HD probe to the RAM so I can log it too. I don't remember the RAM brand off hand but it is DDR 333 so I imagine it could be hot. I also haven't tried the fan on the open case idea yet but...

Q
sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

Ok, so I started my system after it being off all day and the temperature rose up to 42 C. After letting it run all night it remained at that temp. I then set MBM to log every 1 second and started Prime95. It has now been about 2 hours and the system is still up and the temperature is around 49...

Q
sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

My biggest concern is that 1) it is a brand new MB that I got because my last one was unstable and 2) I'm NOT overclocking. I'm really hoping there is something I can do to fix this other than stop running Prime95. Not because Prime95 is so important to me but because I want a really stable...

Good suggestion Buz2b. I'll try running more without Prime95. I have run for about 12 hours w/o it and w/o problems. I'll also double check the BSOD setting. Duvie, how did you fix your power problem? As I said, I'm pretty sure my PS is ok. Is there anything else that could cause power drops?

sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

You're right about the PS. I don't have the spec with me now but I do know that the combined voltage is well above the recommended values. That was one thing I specifically looked at when buying it. As for the temperature, again what you say makes sense. My understanding of Prime95 is that it...

Oops, sorry, I didn't realize that. I was just looking to get wide coverage. Is there any way for me to close or delete this thread, then?

Q
sudden reboots after 1 month rock-solid

I agree completely. I thought the swing should be much more as well. My MB has another temperature monitor that I have stuck to the top of one of my HDs and it reads around 28 C consistently so I know the inside ambient temperature of the case should be no more than that. As for the CPU temp...

I have a Soltek SL-75DRV5 and recently started having some problems. The problem is that my computer will suddenly reboot. I bought my MB about 1 month ago and it was running fine until 2 days ago. During this time the computer was turned on 24 hours every day. Then, 2 days ago, it started...
