Ok, this is way off for this list, but being the most technically saavy
group I know, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this (offlist,
probably). I recently did the following upgrades on my gaming machine:
CPU XP2100 (Palomino 266fsb) > XP3200 (Barton 400fsb)
GPU GeForce 4200Ti > GeForce 6800OC
RAM 1G PC2100 CAS 2.5 > 1G PC3200 CAS2.0
OS: Windows XP SP2 (I can hear the whoosh of a thousand torches being lit)
The motherboard is an FIC AU13, nForce2 chipset, so I know it's not a
question of the motherboard not being able to support this stuff. It
got a CMOS clearing before the powerup as well. The PSU is an Ultra
500W. The following comes off the BIOS PC-Health display:
CPU Temp 42C
System Temp 30C
Chip fan 2191 rpm
VCore 1.66v
* This is .015v below the BIOS setting of 1.675v. I had to "warm" it
up because the chip default of 1.65 gives VCore of 1.62
3.3v > 3.31v
+ 5v > 5.08v
+12v > 12.09v
-12v > -12.11v
- 5v > - 5.04v
VBat > 2.73v
5VSB > 5.01v
The temps are fine, and since all the rails are where they're supposed
to be, I don't believe it's a PSU issue. What does bug me is the
battery... aren't they supposed to be 3V? If so, could that be the
reason for the problems? Another interesting observation: It's sat here
at the PC Health screen for nearly half a hour with no trouble, but
Windows will lock or reboot within 5min every time, no errors, warnings,
or log entries. Ideas anybody?
