Random shutdown with no BSOD Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit
I cant find a "crash and debugging" forum section?
I keep ending up here? But i have no BSOD.
Is this the best place to post this? If not pls move?
We have 3 systems from 6/30/11 Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
DB65AL motherboard. Intel i5-2300 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM
All ran flawlessly for about a year or so. With Updates enabled.
Then 2 started having random shutdowns with no BSOD.
It got progressively worse so we had to replace them.
The third system is still in use but sometimes has to be started 2-3 times in the morning.
I'm running the SF diagnostics now on system 1 that has another hard drive with a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. It has older PSU, HDD, and is now using onboard Intel video as well.
I tried tweeks to every Intel Power management settings etc and Win power, sleep, hibernate, etc etc. but still had the problem.
I previously tried every BIOS, driver update, but there are some newer Intel ones I found since I last tested a few months ago. Ive installed them so lets see if the problem goes away. Same BIOS but newer Intel onboard video, Realtek audio, and onboard Ethernet?
So far I havent been able to duplicate the problem. Im working on it.
So Im not sure if this capture is relevant or not.
Any suggestions?
The hard drive, power supply and EVGA video card out of this test system have been running fine for months in other systems.
System 1 ran idle over the weekend with no issues.
System 2 we ran Linux off a CD over the weekend with no issues. It had its HD removed moved to an old system re installed Ultimate 32 for the user and is up and running there. Also the DVD drive.
I'll let the test system run all this week and post results.
The test system only has the original case switches, Motherboard, CPU, Memory, DVD. Different PSU, Hard drive, no video.
Seems like its some low level interaction between Motherboard drivers and Ultimate like the power management.
So far it didn't seem to be heat related, PSU, Sleep, Hibernate, Intel Power management.
Happens with 2 different EVGA video cards.
Extensive memory tests reveal no issues with memory.
No viruses or malware detected.
