Heya guys,
My mates been having quite a bit of problem with his new pc; The parts i know of his pc off the top of my head are as follows:
Pentium 4 3ghz
MSI Neo2
2x 512 TwinX Corsair XMS Pro
Antec Truepower 480watt
6800 Ultra
Riiiight, i think that's right enough anyways. He's been having a lot of random restarts as of late. At one point, hew as having a problem where his optical drives were causing full lock ups, and recently after removing his Dvd-Rom he can now fully use his Dvd-Rw (before it was crashing whenever he tried to burn)
That was solved.. just blamed the dvd-rom, but his pc's getting more and more unstable, and windows is now blaming hardware.
A random thing i've noticed is that the fan on his PSU, possibly the fan, but something makes an odd noise as it is, and suddenly all of this - not sure if it might be that, but MBM5 has shown the following, very random:
<see attachment - hint, some of the voltages are off the scale :crosseyed:>
Dunno if you guys can figure out what the hell's causing the freeze up and random restarts (every 30 mins or so)
Any more info you need and i can find out from him for ya
Cheers
