[SYSTEM STATS IN SIG]
basicly what happens is that when i am running at a high overclock and the system is under load ie running games the system will switch itself off completly no power to pc or promie its been doing this for a while, and would get flacky at relatively low voltages like 1.8v so the other day i removed the evap head and gave every thng a good clean and reattached the head then burnt the procie in at 1.9v and stock speed for ~36hours befour slowly increasing the frequency to 2400Mhz the system was stable for a couple of days so i increased to 2500Mhz and the power off crash reapeared so i increased the voltage to 1.93v no luck booted fine but running need for speed underground as race started power off crash came back, so returned to 2400 and 1.9v but same prob! remember these settings had been stable for a couple of days general use and gaming so am now back to defaults and no probs but dont know what caused it only clue i got was a mbm5 log i started which shows temps peak at 11 then decrease to 6 simultanulsy the core increases by 0.02volts then crash. My first thoughts where that obviusly it was cpu related but why power off not blue screen of death or erorrs and boots windows fine, then i thought it might be promie overheat protection as evap temps got to -30,-29 ish but no errors? The other wierd thing is that befour the head change after a crash the pc would be dead and not respond to power on except after the main power cord had been removed now however my fan controller lights and hdd and cd led's remain on although the fans and cold cathodes shut down? whats with that i didnt think it was possible.
Any help greatly apprecitaed as this is driving me to distraction.
