Still trouble with this damn pc...

[JimmyBoy]

Hey guys

basically ive recently installed a new motherboard and cpu (see sig)
but ever since its been up n runnin, ive been getting random power outs screen just goes, then i'll either just sit there or automatically reboot it was suggested that my old psu was a bit naff (poo-tec) so ive just got a new enermax 470w one, put that in, and still, i have the same troubles,
on my last setup i had probs with this ram not coping with ddr400 speeds despite it is 3200 lowering the speed fixed it, so i dont think it could be my ram causing this...

im really stuck 4 ideas at the moment and have no idea how to find out what is acturally causing the problem. any help would be very appreciated. thanx

Have you tried ram test?

[JimmyBoy]

not really...ive only played about with the speed of it, lowering it 4 stability, i ran prime 95 for a while tho, 4 a few hours it was fine, then just went off again..

do you 1 stick of ram or 2, if its 2 i would defo try running it with one stick for a while then if it mess's up try with the other stick. cause if definatly sounds memoryish to me

also ya could try swapping out ya radeon 9700 for another card just to test that, i used to have a similar problem when my radeon overheated

ok guys thanx 4 the advice, it seemed that it was a bios setting to do with calibrating agp 3.0 devices ive never seen it before but enabling it has seemingly, fingers crossed, resolved my issue

thanx guys !!
