Constant computer crashing! HELP!

[iQuiet]

So, I run a custom built computer, with an i7 2600 CPU, 8gb of strontium RAM, an strontium 15gb SSD, etc etc, 6 months down the track, my computer kept crashing, like a power outage, and would reboot by itself, this happened so frequently that it literally became a boot cycle, and would crash upon start up, no crash dump files have been created, it would reboot by itself 100 times in 20 minutes, after a few days, my SSD had fried itself, and I got it replaced, when I had it replaced and computer formatted, the system also crashed at the start, consistently, for the first 2 days, and then it was fine, now 3 months down the track the same thing occurred, I asked for a replacement SSD, instead of strontium went with agility 3, 120gb, I thought the problem was the SSD, but now after getting it replaced, the crashing is continuously happening, sometimes won't crash for 15 minutes, sometimes 6 times within a minute like a power outage, within the case is very clean, anyone have any solutions or possible ways to fix this?! Please help!

Have you updated to the latest firmware for your SSD?

Yes I have, and it's not a BSOD, it's just a black out crash, with auto reboot..

First of all go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System and click Advanced System Settings in the left pane. Under Startup and Recovery click settings and make the changes shown in the snip below. This will prevent the machine from constant rebooting and create a small dmp file if you have a BSOD. If you can't enter w7, tap F8 during startup, Advanced boot options will open, choose Safe Mode with networking and do the above.

I think you have a bad PSU, it has some very poor reviews. It may have fluctuation in 12V output and causing the shut down/reboots. Chieck within your BIOS, hardware monitor ir the like, for voltages.

This http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html will provide among other things, a voltage monitor, the download link is near the bottom of the page.

Also my Bios temps and voltage are: All in Celsius

Processor - 61 Degrees
PCH - 43
Memory - 26
VR - 31

+12.0V = 12.14V
+5V = 4.99V
+3.3V = 3.34V
Memory vcc - 1.58V
Processor vcc - 1.22V
PCH vcc - 1.08V

I see you missed my post info about not having the machine restart automatically.
HWinfo shows the CMOS battery on you board needs replaced.
The video was not helpful, seeing the monitor would be.

 

[iQuiet]

It it sent to not restart automatically, and it continously does.. I have dont this setting, and because its not BSOD i have no dump files, also have it set to no restart upon power failure in my Bios Settings, The monitor didnt even have a chance to start as the boot cycle was so short, is the CMOS battery the cause of this crashing?

 

[Britton30]

I think with the CMOS battery so low, less than 50% your board may be losing/lost all of it's settings. A new one if quite cheap and would be worth a try. You will need to reset your BIOS to default setting after replacing it and test.

 

[iQuiet]

Does a CMOS battery create constant crashing upon startup?
Is it very important for me to replace this? How do I fix my computer?

 

[iQuiet]

I find that, when I boot up my computer, sometimes it can stay on the main desktop, as soon as I run software with a bit of memory and CPU usage, it'll crash, and instantly become a boot cycle like the video has shown. But sometimes it'll load desktop and crash without me opening any software

 

[Britton30]

Post all the steps you have taken so far.

 

[iQuiet]

inside Bios settings > Power > Reboot after power failure: Disable .
Computer>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Start up and recover>System Failure
Ticked box Write an event to system log
Unticked box Automatically Restart,
Kernal Dump memory..
Its not a BSOD.
Also my times on the system are completely fine and have not been affected so im not sure a CMOS is the posibility of constant crashing upon my computer.

Cant be SSD as it got replaced just recently, and same problem are caused.

These are the steps taken, upon re-format

Are the motherboard drivers up-to-date? What date is your BIOS?

Correct me if i'm wrong

Based on the video you have uploaded... these reboots are happening before even you see the bios .. right ??

If that is the case... then you have a hardware problem... Two possibility

1. Check your PSU, suggested by Britton30. try to borrow a PSU from your friends.. and check to see if it resolves the problem... Most probably a case of bad capacitors.. inside them

2. Check your motherboard for Bad capacitors ... look for signs for bulged capacitors... if dont know what it looks like ... look here for more visuals..

I'm leaning more towards a faulty motherboad, but thats just me.... post some snapshots or video still .. though we may or maynot be able to make it out with these... it might help

The other things you could also do is to strip the computer to bare minimum....like you could take the motherboard out of the cabinet and place them on your desk..... connect only the main HDD(the one windows is installed in), RAM, keyboard and mouse as well as the monitor to the motherboard display port...... remove the graphics card, dvd drive and other accessories (yes that goes to your 7 cooling fans as well!!)

Start your computer now and see if it still reboots...

Let me know...
