i7 Computer Boot Issue

[Evilsizer]

Okay, 9-9-9-28 2T with 1.64v got me less far into the boot process than my other tries... what should I do about CPU or NB voltages?

even with 1.5v? if the cpu speed isnt at stock then its hard to say, depends on where it is at now. did you manage to boot into a memtest86?

No, the burner is dead in this computer...

try a single stick one by one in the second slot from CPU and just boot at defaults

see if it boots

Alright, will do.

Tried with only one stick of RAM and it booted all the way into windows for about 30 seconds before shutting off.... we're getting closer.

[RAW-Raptor22]

Tired with one stick of RAM, once with each stick. First stick shut off half way into windows, second shut off when the Windows orb was glowing, and the last one made it in for about 5 seconds. This is with extra voltage on the CPU, and ICH.

Sounds like the board needs an RMA since it never did this before. Thats crazy you blew up a 850w with this thing. I ran x58 with 4850x2, 3 HD's tons of rans with 430w antec.

Did you ever try the PSU in that Q6600?

You need to find a way to test your ram.
They may have been damaged from the PSU.
Or order a couple cheap sticks and see if its the ram.

What's your dad say about all this ?

What's your dad say about all this ?

He just wants his computer to work. He gets stressed out and takes it out on me, and when Im not dedicating my full attention to it, he wants to go play with it more. He hasnt been able to access our finances for around a month now. He even offered to take it to a shop, if I didnt want to deal with it. My family is such that we dont spend money frivolously to keep up with the Joneses, and $200 for a new PSU, and then however much else is a hard burden to bear. I try to be upfront about whats going on with him so he can understand. I just dont know where to go from here.

I feel your pain! I've killed 3 X58 boards. How many P45's have I fried? 0. Before that? well its been a like 5 years atleast!

My 3rd X58 board should be here Tuesday

Yeah, damn. This PC is so finicky. I like my old 1200MHz Celeron thats run at 1600MHz for the last 7 years, every day.

Yeah dude. I got this old P4 Prescott, the MSI board wasn't even designed for it. But its been washed in hot water, thrown around etc...still kickin

BTW, did you have a 850TX PSU? I got the 850HX and it's a beast!

Yeah, I sent it back and they sent me a new one. I tried to sell it here but the mods got pissed off and now I cant see the FS sections

I sold it on eBay and got this 1000HX
