HELP!!!! Sandman I need an exorcist for my computer again!!!
« on: September 26, 2014, 11:42:32 pm »
Help my computer again randomly yesterday shut down without notice .. just .. loss of power and poof. Not loss of power in my apartment .. just the computer. I was in a game and then I heard the fans stop and the computer rebooted as if the power had gone out.

What steps should I try so I can list them here as I do them?

    Steps so far taken:
    • Ran Speccy for info
    • Ran Everest
    • Going to run Mem-Test 86 over night
    • Going to run a full Antivirus scan (even though it is done daily)
    • Going to Defrag (even though I did 2 weeks ago?)
    • Temp recordings (attached image) while playing game (as it seems that is when I lose power)

It's difficult to tell what's causing that issue.  But here is a list of a few things that could cause it.

Overheated GPU
Overheated CPU
Defective Memory
Defective or insufficient PSU
Bad connection/s

Okay I will test the memory tonight (or Sat night while I am at my mom's and not on the computer anyway) then tell you the results.

Then I can do the paperclip test I read about but have never done. http://dodji.seketeli.com/downloads/shuttle-psu-paper-clip-test.pdf





As for testing the rest, I am not sure how to.  Looking at the INtel site I only found a processor diagnostic tool: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=19792&lang=eng&ProdId=2774

I was looking for a manual ... http://ark.intel.com/products/spec/SLAWQ

and found it at the bottom of that page. http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/core2-qx9000-q9000-q8000-datasheet.pdf

There are a couple of things I would like to know.

#1.  Does your mother board have a speaker?  You can tell if it does when you start the computer and it posts, you will hear a beep.

#2.  Did your computer make any kind of sound at the moment it shut down?  And did it have any trouble restarting?

I will have to reboot again and see if there is a beep but I don't think there is. My last Mobo there was I believe. Will have to check.

As for any sound .. NOPE not at all. Only thing I noticed was the fans stop and computer off ... No trouble restarting it.

Also for Memtest I will have to go into the Bios to tell it to boot from the CD Rom is seems .. due to the way Dave set it up..
