Lock-up again,, and again,

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Any IT Pro's out there care to look at this?
No BSOD's, does it any time, mid game or even asleep,,

*bump in the night

anyone?

[IndusD4]

No idea, but as it all appears to start on the 2nd of March - do you know what you did to the computer that day? Install anything? Tweak anything? Registry cleanup?

Try "Recover system settings or your computer" from the "Backup and Restore" menu in control panel? You'd have to go back to prior to 2 March.

Thanks for the help.:D

The problem goes back for 12 months or more,, had it when running Vista.

[incisor]

all classical symptoms of ram, power or video drivers

you updated the bios on the board?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

yes Inc,, seemed to work for 3-4 days then started again.
it doesnt seem to be a driver problem due to the length of time the problem has existed,
my Nvidea driver gets updated nearly every month.

Can I increase the 5V rail?

[incisor]

Can I increase the 5V rail?

you can do almost anything, but most things will have a dramatic affect on life and reliability

seeing you have little of the later the trade off may work in your favour :D

but i doubt it...

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Ok,, the board should still be under warranty,
I'd love to know how'd they test it.

gee Gigabyte say contact the business that sold it,,
I wonder who that might be?

[manic]

Quick glance and I see I/O issues, search indexing issues, corrupt reads, missing this and that...

I'd go with hard drive on its way out.

But its a long log...... When it locked up infront of you did you note the date/time and check what events were logged around it?

[schuy1]

A number of things will do some or all :d But I would say 1st its a hard drive issue, as in it on the way out, back up NOW! and it could be the power supply on the last legs. Dodgy power will cause all sorts of behaviors, a symptom that points is your CD drive errors. At least this is what I have found

Thanks Scott, during this fault I have run a couple of different HDD systems, 2 x 500 cav blk with a 1tb green as backup, a 1tb blk cav with a green as backup and a 120ssd with just windows, all my other stuff on the 1tb blk with the green as backup, and the fault has happened whichever I've used,,
