Memtest86+ issues

Well...Ran memtest86+ all night and this time I got 736 errors. It doesn't identify which stick had the errors...So, I guess I do one stick at a time now. With the minidump I posted them on another site for about a month and with help identified numerous drivers that needed updating. Which I...

Memtest86+ issues

I let it run for about 4 hrs today and no errors reported. I plan on letting memtest 86+ run over night again to see what it comes up with. I have 2 sticks of 2 gigs ddr2 1066 and read if I set Memtest 86+ to Show DMI it will identify which stick has errors.

Is the HCI version running from Windows as accurate as booting to Memtest 86+?

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

I think the blue screens with the replaced PSU was a separate problem and not PSU related..but was a virus that got into the registry..at least security essentials found such and removed. As a result no blue screen for several days. Also, I connected the corsair after virus removal and...

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

Wow...Yellowbeard, Thank You. I plan on shipping it out tomorrow Tuesday. JohnnyGuru, Inside the box wasn't hot when this happened...Touched video card, psu, ram, heatsink..nothing hot to the touch. The intermittent short in the pc doesn't seem to be the problem since no complete shutdowns...

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

Well I have been running a backup PSU and it is working better..Still several blue screens. I think these problems are a little different. Before everything went black and I had to switch the PSU off then on again before reboot. With the blue screen I can just hit the reset button and it...

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

I do have another PSU that I plan on trying tonight. It is a 450W and I hope it is powerful enough..Also, in addition to random shutdowns, a new issue started whenever I turn the system on. When I push the power button I have to push it 3-4 times before it fully boots up. Each time before a...

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

Nope..not overclocking. It is basically a vanilla system havent souped it up or changed bios settings. I am wondering if the cpu needs more voltage. It is set to 1.36v...I am reading the manual and looking at AMD's site to see suggested voltage for amd athlonII Rana 435 haven't figured it out...

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

Yes I dusted it 2 days ago...Forgot to mention it doesn't seem to be getting hot..Touched the HD's, video card, cpu fan, ram, etc after shutdown..didn't seem hot. Started it back up and in bios cpu temp seemed OK..cpu usually runs high 30's f and it was 40 f...Thanks

Is my corsair vx550 dying?

I have been experiencing random shut downs (not reboots) happens average of 2 times a day for the past 3 weeks. There is no consistent thing I am doing when shut down occurs. I have to switch the PSU off then back on before I can power the system back up (which seems odd to me). Event log...
