X58A UD3R REV 1.0 VS REV 2.0

I have very bad news.

Today I bought another HD because I need the space and thinking in that maybe the new HD will fix all this.

I installed some things, I was thinking that it was a Win BUT I HAD THE REBOOT THING AGAIN!

It happens when I have some windows opens or programs.

I want to installs the hotfix that absic recommends, but I need to let you know this before.

I entered in the Sucess Event Viewer after the reboot and I have this listed:

- Critic: Kernel Power
- Error: Kernel-Event Tracing, Windows update client, print service, eventlog, service control manager.

Look, Im dont know nothing about this but the power word reminds me my PSU. My HD are good, my videocard maybe too, the ram in Memtest dont show any error in a entire night.

I possible that my PSU is making the problem?

I will try the hotfix now but I dont have any BSOD or nothing, just reboots and some freeze but more reboot!!!!

 

What do you think??

The PSU is often an underlying problem but I thought that we had ruled that out on your setup. I will check back through the thread and make sure.

Well I have just read up on your Cooler Master PSU and it sounds good so I don't honestly think that the problem lies there unless you have a faulty model of course. Power supplies tend to work or not though and it is unusual to find a decent one that gives trouble. The only thing is that a PSU is only as good as it's mains supply power. If you have any doubts as to the quality of yours I would advise getting a UPS to condition the electricity supply. APC do a nice range that are reliable.

Dark Mantis, Thank you!

I wish that my PSU is not a faulty one. Thinking in the elements and situations that I experimented, maybe my problem is a Windows 7 Bug Problem.

I installed the Hotfix that absic recommends and I feel that maybe for this road goes the problem. For now, I dont have any freeze. I let the pc downloading the entire night and it dont reboot or freeze. I saw the Sucess Event (if this are the words) and no new problem founds.

I will try the pc with the Hotfix and I will let you know.

Ah!, other thing. When I formated and installed things, I felt the pc stable. But when I ran Windows update, some time after that comes the reboot. Maybe there are some services or things that make problem with some components.

If the Hotfix dont work and I have reboots again, I will reformat and install but withouth any windows update except language. Do you think is a good idea?

And for absic115, thank you! how you comes with that info? how you discover that? what about your past problem?

[Dark Mantis]

Well good luck and I hope that your problem is fixed. The trouble if it is a Windows problem is that it is so big now that trying to find the bit that is causing trouble can be a nightmare. All the different drivers etc that are specific to your hardware. Anyway I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Hey! I have news.

I discovered the problem. It was the Energy Save Options in Bios. I disabled C1E, C5/C6/C7 and EIST and now all is stable. I dont have any reboot or freeze for like 4 days or something and I left the PC on all this days in the night.

Im very happy about the stability! The main problem for me was dont know what is making the troubles.

Now, I need your wise opinion about. In this moment, in idle I have temps of 50-53º and in full load I reach like 70º with Cinebench CPU test and in normal semi-full like 60-63+ temps (but not with frequency). I have a static Vcore (1.136v) because I disabled C5/C6/C7 and the others energy options.

I have disabled Turbo CPU mode, Im using stock Frequency, no overclock.

I dont have money yet to buy a aftermarket CPU Fan Cooler. Can I live with that temps without damaging the CPU? I will not overclock for now.

And other very important question: What I do about the problem? I dont know what attitude take. I keep walking in my life and ignore the problem, or I need to require warranty? is normal? is a bug? How I take this?

Thank you for your help, Im glad that the problem is known. Now I need to know what to do about.

J.P.

Well unless you are one of those "save the planet" people that worry about every bit of energy then I sholuldn't worry about it. I have them turned off on my machine but for different reasons, because I use liquid cooling. It shouldn't make any difference as you will probably update the processor before you kill it with old age. The temperatures are quite hot but bareably so, I would recommend getting a good aftermarket cooler as soon as you can. Glad you found the problem dude.
