New build restarting by itself. Oh dear~
-
29-11-2009 7:13pm#1I just recently completed a self build and have been having some issues over the past 2 weeks. On a number of occasions my computer has restarted by itself. Autorestart upon system failure is disabled and I receive no error report/system dump or blue screen.
This has happened twice while playing Ys [By no means graphics intensive, and it hasnt happened while playing the likes of bioshock. Just chance?], twice again while watching a movie [the movie was paused and I was afk one of these times] and once when left on overnight [lastnight]Now Ive been attempting to convert an .mkv file to .avi and I get a restart when it reaches about 3% completion. This happens every time.
Im guessing overheating is the problem so Ive included a temp report, although I dont know if thats valid/sufficient info. Im worried this will/has already caused damage to my hardware and want to sort this out as soon as possible. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
System:
-Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-750 Boxed
-Intel DP55WB LGA-1156 DDR3
-Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 4GB KIT CL9
-Samsung DVD±RW burner, SH-S223B,
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA2
-PCPOWER&COOLING Silencer 610 EPS 12V,
610W, 20/24 Pin, 6XSATA, 8X4Pin, SLI
-ASUS Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5
-LG 22" Wide W2253V-PF, Full HD
[Maybe under powered? Ive been told by multiple source that the PSU is a reliable product and I shouldnt have any problems.]
PS: My screen has also gone pink frequently. Not sure if this is related. A restart of my system shell always fixes this problem.0

It does indeed. Both are connected. I had issues initially with this so I know the GPU should be receiving enough power. Im not so sure how this could be related though, as the only consistant time the computer has restarted is when using the codec converter.
Keep in mind the PC performs 100% 99% of the time. Its just those times I noted in my first post. Bar whenever I try to convert that video file, those restarts appeared to be random and I kept pushing them to the back of my mind since it had happened only a few times and seemed infrequent. But now its an issue as it seems to be related to my CPU in some way.. I was really looking forward to getting some vid editing done this afternoon but looks like thats not going to be possible.

Video conversion is a very CPU intensive task.
I was aware of this but never imagined it could be this intense! Im going to go ahead and run coretemp again while converting. I dont recall being able to feel as much heat from the converting as prime95 produced. /readysforarestartPogMoThoin wrote: »Run it again, this time take note of the temps You're getting after a min or 2 and at what temp it crashes. Coretemp takes its readings directly from a sensor on the cpu itself and is very accurate. Your pc should be able to run that test till morning without crashing, somethings wrong, either its not getting enough power or its overheating and shutting itself down to protect itself
EDIT: Ill do this first then.
I did like you said Pog. I ran a quicky on prime for 7mins without faults this time.
After a little bit the temp stopped rising. Im guessing it coudl be a power issue?
I could leave it on for a few hours grand but I would not be able to monitor it, so I wouldnt have any kind of record of the temps it reached.0 -
