Hi there,
this is my first thread on overclock and hoping somebody can help me as my computer reboots itself. This is particularly frustrating when I am working on projects (editing videos mainly)
My specs are as follows:
AsRock Z77 Extreme6 Motherboard (Socket 1155
Intel Core i7-3770K CPU
Corsair CMX16GX3M4A1333C9 XMS 16GB (4x4GB)
GPU - Asus Nvidia GeForce 2GB GTX 670
CPS - OCZ 850W ZX Series PSU 80+ Gold
1 Tb Barricuda Seagate HD for the OS
A stripped 3 Tb Barricuda Seagate HD
I have had this problem ongoing for over a year. I thought it was a bug in my system but am now doubting that because when I format the HD for the OS the problem only recently NOW appears almost immediately after it is reformatted. But it is possible that the bug gets into the other HDs and then gets into the OS HD but a the moment I don't want to format the stripped drives as have precious work on them.
I have recently turned off 'automatic restart' in 'system failure' and put 'sleep mode' to 'never' etc. but this seems to have caused another problem. i.e. the monitor goes black but the computer is still running.
I have tried different HDMI cables (problem still there)
There is a chance that it is the GPU. I have a cheap £25 GPU which I am going to switch to see if that makes a difference.
If anyone has any new suggestions I will be willing to try them out.
Thanks in advanced
Dominic
