I've got a machine thats always been giving me problems, and I am tired of this, I wanna figure out what is causing it to be so unstable.
:slapass:
specs:
Intel core 2 Duo e6600
Asus P5B Deluxe
Super Talent ddr2-800 T800UB1GC5 5-5-4-12
leadtek 7950gt 512mb
bios: 1001

I have several problems:

1) from time to time, when you press on button, the system turns on for a sec, then goes off suddenly, waits a few seconds and then turns itself back one!!

2) if the cmos clears, I must take out my super talent and put in another chip: then I must raise the dram to 2.1v

3) in hardware monitor it reports for the 3.3v IN RED at around 2.8v I am guessing that is a significant problem? Also it reports VERY HIGH temp of 49-52c (however I just put on a fresh layer of zalman thermal grease zm-stg1 less than an hour ago I hope it improves.. )

Any attempt to OC always results in a sudden reboot followed by an annoying game of trying to get the system back up. BTW when I have the system running at all defaults except 2.1v ram and 1.45nb (seems to make it more stable) I can run orthos for a while...

possible problems I think: I have a 480w power supply with 1 rail 12v+ A19, it does not have a 4+4 connector but merely 4pin connector (so its missing that...)
Also touching the RAM it seems very hot...

oh and I'm using the lga 775 stock cooler right now :P I'm still looking how to get a thermalright ultra 120 extreme over here to israel ...

let me know what you guys think I have my PC in the lab here so hopefully we can figure out whats up..

I think the 3.3v running at 2.8v in RED in the bios could be a particular problem but I am still a n00b at this... (however I am a computer technician soo lets get technical!!)

It could be an old BIOS ??? CPU is good, ram is good, Mobo is good...can't speak to the PSU though. You should easily get to 3.4-3.6 ish...How bout listi ng you BIOS ver & settings. BTW, the re-boot issue is normal with that mobo, but you should not have to remove the Ram ???

from cpuz(v1.38):
bios ver: 1004
e6600 1.144v

that is all the settings pretty much... running like this... its stable. However if I change anything it goes nuts..
