Hard reset while folding - Overclock.net

chatch15117 · 2 Weeks Ago

I think the problem is my GPU, but I don't know why it is causing the problem.

If I overclock the GPU enough and start up crysis, the computer will hard reset(no BSOD, the PSU or mobo literally resets) just like it does when folding.

After a few hours of GPU folding, the computer resets. Even the case fans/lights turn off. I have my card only at 675 core, and the stock is 655 core, so I don't think it is the overclock. I've tried folding on just CPU and the computer does not crash, but it did when I was folding on the GPU. So what could cause a hard reset like this? Bad PSU, GPU, or motherboard?

EDIT: IT IS THE PSU! F M L

Sounds like the PSU. see if a friend has one you could use to test this.
the card wouldn't stop the fans a light ect.

Yeah it just did it again

. I think it's the PSU. What do I do now? Do you think it's just a bad PSU and RMA will solve it, or should I get a Corsair?

Another PSU attack. Just smack the PSU and tell it to quit crapin out.

Yeah it just dies if i fold

.

Never crashed during 5+ hours of playing crysis, never crashed during any games, Linx or Prime95.

OH EVEN BETTER! Look at what I found when I returned to Newegg to RMA it.

Looks like I'll be paying shipping AND labor! Suggest a good PSU for me? I plan on upgrading to a Fermi card when they actually come out.

Well basically that's newegg saying o ya that was a Piece we sold you and btw our warranty 4 is blows so try to consult the manfac and tell them another one of their products dosent like life... and they are like "F$@k this thats like number 932 of these square paper waits we have gotten this month" I'm state it now that PSU have a mind of their own and chose what they like to supply power for. I guess ur PSU hates Stanford...

Yeah. I may just stop folding. Works great for gaming and everything I throw at it besides folding. I was pushing ~13000ppd, but I'll fold later once I get my Fermi card, a job, and a new PSU
