Resetting, with NO blue screen, and no error after re-entry
Hi everyone, this is my first post here.
This issue im having is one i have been battling with for a long time now, the computer will just randomly reset out of nowhere, or more rarely it will lockup and nothing works. Full on frozen, USB items turned off and all.
I get no error message on re-entry to windows, other than the menu with "Start windows normally" and other options on start up. Doesnt matter which you pick.
The computer is bulletproof reliable with Windows XP x64, never ever a glitch. Tested again recently and still perfect.
I can stress test the computer with anything ive thrown at it, including running numerous bench marks all at once, and playing a game at the same time, CPU on 100% for ages, and never misses a beat.
When i do get the reset, its always when something simple is going on, occationally i cant point a finger, but other times there is flash player videos or ads in Internet Explorer running.
The single biggest cause is putting in a Bluray disc, that is an almost certain and near instant in most cases reset. Bluray player is a Pioneer BDC-202.
Arcsoft Total Media Theatre, and any version of PowerDVD will cause it very quickly.
WinDVD 11 doesnt cause it ever so far, but i cant get it to play 3D movies in 3D, even though it plays every thing 2D in stereo 3D if i set it to, and works perfectly ( but then they all do )
I have OCZ INTeL XMP RAM, doesnt matter what you set it to in the BIOS, itll pass any RAM test you can throw at it, and for hours, or even days at a time without a fault.
Ive tried numerous BIOS revisions for the Gigabyte X58 EXTREME mobo, none make any difference. Neither do any settings within the BIOS.
The CPU is an i7 950 at stock speed, with the auto speed adjusting turned off, so it runs at its rated speed at all times. ( why would you ever want it to change...) Had the same issues with the 920 before it.
The video card is a ZOTAC 9800GT, tried numerous different nVIDIA drivers, and all had and have the same issue.
The power supply is an Antec QUATTRO POWER 880, and it is certainly not the issue, cause if it was, it would also do it with XP and not just 7, and would never hold up to the 100% CPU for the amount of time it does.
The operating system is installed on a pair of OCZ SSDs in RAID0, exactly the same way XP x64 was installed.
Searching around ive never found a thread yet that has a fix to any simular issues.
Im not quite sure where else to go with this, ive tried a hell of alot of stuff, and nothing has made a difference. The fact there is no blue screen makes it alot harder too. ( its set not to automatically restart, but it resets ).
Thanks in advance everyone
