Hello all.
I've just upgraded my system. I have a Z68XP-UD3P, Inet i5 2500K, 16Gb Corsair Vengeance memory. I also started using the Intel RST caching feature, using a 1Tb Seagate and an OCZ Agility 3 SSD.
The PC built fine to begn with, Windows 7 Ulitmate installed without a hitch. I usually leave my PC switched on overnight, and next day it had bluescreened to a blue screen, general stop error.
I had XMP switched on at first, a misunderstanding of how that technology worked, and thats now turned off. No overclocking in place at the moment at all, everything in BIOS is set to default.
I'm now getting random hangs and re-boots. On several occasions after the reboot or hang, the BIOS tells me that overclocking or voltage changes have caused a problem, but I dont see anything in BIOS which is not default. The main symptom at the moment is the system just freezes, image on screen, no mouse or keyboard active. I've removed my older Creative X-fi and several USB devices to troubleshoot, with no luck so far.
I see no errors in event log, other than the usual, 'your system has shutdown unexpectedly'. I'm now tearing out what hair I have left trying to stabilise this damn machine.
Can anyone help me solve this problem please? I'm an IT engineer, pretty good at both hardware and software, and so far I have no idea at all about what's causing these problems.
Grateful for any help anyone can give.
Thanks
Scott
