p4c800-e deluxe random shutdowns
all,
first time build -- thought I was careful... first power up, POSTed fine and I was damn near tears I was so happy. Then fate stepped in. I have been getting random complete shutdowns and I cannot understand why. I have tried two power supplies already with same results (granted both were off brands). I went ahead today and bought an Antec TruePower 430. I will try it as well, but I am expecting the same troubles... Here is the box: P4C800-E Deluxe BIOS 1014 P4 -- 2.8 -- 800FSB Kingston 512MB -- kvr400x64c3a/512 ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 Liteon Burner Secondary Master WD 80GB Primary Master Hitachi 200GB Primary Slave Floppy One Rear Case Fan (4 led lighted one) Side case fan I have managed to actually install Win XP Home on the machine -- the voltages in BIOS have checked out fine as far as I can tell. Assuming the Antec 430w is not the solution - what should be the next step? Thanks for all your help out there -- I think I am sooo close just need a little more help!

I hope you get an answer to this question. I plan on
building a system almost exactly like yours. I will hold off ordering the parts until your question is answered.

My P4C800E-D is very stable. No such problem.
It is quite sensitive, or picky, about components seating and how it is mounted on case plate. But once it boots, everything works fine for me. ------------- "Tuta" wrote in message ... all, first time build -- thought I was careful... first power up, POSTed fine and I was damn near tears I was so happy.

This sounds like a memory problem. I don't think it has anything to do with
power supply. Are you using just one stick of memory ? In that case, Why ? You lose the benefit of dual ddr. It would be much better using two 256 MB sticks in slot 1 and 3. Of course the MB will work even with one stick too. However, what you are describing is a typicle error with memory.

Hi Tuta,
fate stepped in. I have been getting random complete shutdowns and I cannot understand why. I have tried two power supplies already with same results I had similar probs. Changed almost everything. Finally found that upping the VCore voltage on the cpu sorted it. Dunno why. Cires |

I would also suggest that you try different RAM also; I'm currently
building a similar setup using Corsair memory: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=80097-17 Wow, memory prices have edged up for some reason (I paid $218.00 for this exact same memory just last week...) Another thing, what are your temps like? According to MBM: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ my idle temps a mobo - 23 degrees C CPU - 29 degrees C Check the event logs for any device issues also (and Device Manager for any improperly installed devices). I haven't done any stress testing or installed any major apps/games but this rig is rock solid thus far...I'm running Win2K Pro/SP4.

I do hope to add another stick of 512mb in the future -- figured this would
be a decent first step. Uptime was over an hour and a half last night. Two things changed: 1) installed new Antec TruePower 430 2) moved box to kitchen table I will likely leave it on longer today and see what happens... I hope the Antec really was the solution.

All,
Sitting at 45 minutes in the computer room --- no shutdowns as of yet with the new Antec in the original spot where all the shutdowns were occurring.
