I have a similar problem which i'm trying to find out of.
When i run my CPU at 200hz in the BIOS is restarts randomly, especially when it starts to work ie. like playing a game.
I changed it to 166hz and it's stable but i loose speed by doing it, no idea whats wrong. Maybe something wrong with the CPU i guess.

Edit: BTW whats your computer specs?

AMD Athlon XP3200+ 2,2 GHz
ASUS A7N8X-E Motherboard
2x: Corsair XMS3200C2 DDR-DIMM 512MB PC3
adeon X800 256MB GDDR3

I think you overclocked your cpu too high and it get too hot and the system just shutdown. Maybe better cooling fan?


If you hate it, ignore it.

@Manblood
To rule out 'CPU' Laughing overheating you could install a temp monitoring utility such as MBM5. Another thing to bear in mind is that if the processor is indeed overheating then you shouldn't be able to turn it on immediately because it needs some time (about 10-15 min) to cool down to below the cut-off.
You could also see what applications are running on your computer when it restarts via task-manager.

@Rubber
You have one of the most over-clockable socket A boards and you are running at a lower speed. Confused You should change your specs because I don't think your 3200+ is running anywhere close to 2.2 Ghz. Not unless you are using a multiplier of 13-14.
Check your FSB jumper. I don't think that it is a problem because if 2 and 3 are bridged then your board would only run at 200Mhz but just to rule out that possibility.

ManBlooD: You could also try to lower the memory-timings. I have had a problem with freezing / restarting and that solved the problem.

Thanks for the tips guys, i will check it out tomorrow (with the FSB jumper).
The strange thing with my comp is that it restarts if i use 200mhz in BIOS after some random time. Seems that it restarts when it's quite "busy". For example in BF2 where i get in the game, play for maybe everything from 2-20 minutes and the comp restarts. This doesnt happen when running it at 166.

Bought a new fan not long ago and that didnt help either.
When it comes to these things, like problems with MB's and CPU's i'm such a newb...
This FSB jumper is it near where the CPU is?
I'm not into overclocking so that can't be the reson either, unless something happened that i'm not aware of, hehe

Sorry if i'm a dumbfuck Wink

Sounds like a temp problem, in both of your cases.

Do yourself a favour and make sure you have the cpu heatsink seated on the cpu properly with no air bubbles/pockets if your using thermal paste instead of the thermal pad.

Also get yourselves ram heatsinks,fans,exhaust fans,gpu heatsinks/fans the cooler your system the better.

Oh yes also make sure you adequate power supplies capable of providing you with extra juice something with quality stamped on it .ie enermax.

This problem is a clear one to me, cause it happened before and I solved it. Its simpler than you think, and it doesnt matter if you do a fresh windows install or not.
In order to solve this problem you have only one thing to do, and that is to CHANGE YOUR POWER SUPPLY to a really good one, a server power supply with 2 coolers (one on the back of the power supply, one at the bottom of it). That will work, you will see.

If you dont believe me, go to your PC's setup and check the voltage levels.

Random reboots after a fresh windows install are the hardest problems to come buy. It doesn't have to be the temps or the psu at all. Can be so many things. Before changing the psu i would take a look at your board, maybe some of your capacitators are leaking, happens really often lately, especially with MSI boards. But do check your temps, psu and ram as well.

@RubberChicken: Check your ram with memtest86, maybe some registers are damaged.

you might also wanna disable the function that the system will automatically reboot when an error occurs. This way the system won't reboot and will probably generater a blue screen.
You might get more info out of that blue screen since it generates a error code which you can lookup on the internet...
You can find this option in the Control Panel under System somewhere.

It would'nt hurt to check your MOBO's Manufacturer Website and see if they have a BIOS update....Reason I'm saying this is because I had somewhat of the same problem.....System would'nt boot if I had the FSB set to 200 Mgz. (Even though the MOBO supported it)...I had to dumb down the FSB to I think 166Mgz.....Somthing like that.....But low and behold, a few weeks later, the MOBO manufacturer released a BIOS update to solve the problem....May not help, but it would'nt hurt to try Smile...
