Hi all.
I have just built a pc based on the spec below.
The problem is that it will not boot unless the jumpers are set to overclock the pro to run at 2300 instead of the standard 2200.
It is very unstable with the screen going blank after various amounts of time.
The monitor light is still green, sometimes, and sometimes it goes orange, like stand by mode. It sometimes also does a random boot!!
I thought it of may been a overheating problem but I have tried a large desk fan blowing directly into the case, sides off, and it still shut down 5 minutes into a game.
I have increased the cpu volts by 5% to compensate for overclock.
I have also done this.
1.Disable fastwrite, (apparently can cause probs and gives no particular performance boost).
2.Changed the fast command to fast from normal. (Apparently, the ultra setting is very unstable).
3.Changed the DIMM voltage to +0.1 as there are reports that it is undervolted.
Thought i'd got it.
Left the comp downloading so as to give it something to do.
Came back 2 hours later, great, still downloading.
Came back for dinner, the monitor light had turned orange.
Thing is, the computer itself, ie, the psu, graphics card fan etc were still functioning, as though it had gone into some kind of sleep mode but pressing keys and using the mouse doesn't wake it up.
Only the reset button does this.
It appears to last longer now but still goes blank.
Anyone know of any issues or have any clues??
Cheers.
