  • Crash to black screen, sound loops, comp reboots!

    Hi, I'm having a very annoying problem that has occurred a few times now since I built this computer back in May.

    It would happen during gaming or when I'm just surfing the web.

    The screen would go back, then whatever sound is playing will loop, which causes my computer to reboot.

    Motherboard: Asus M4A79XTD EVO

    Memory: 4gb Ripjaw 1600mhz F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM

    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965

    I was wondering if this could be a cause of unstable RAM. I had it set to 1600mhz 7-8-7-24 @ 1.6v and my CPU set to 3.7ghz @ 1.46v. I ran 20 runs of Intel Burn Test and it passed, 6 hours of Prime95 Blend Test and it passed that as well.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated =)

    Try 8-8-8-24 timings instead. Do you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard?

      I have the latest BIOS.

      I'll give the 8-8-8-24 timing a try.

      Also, what's the highest safe voltage for these sticks (just in case the 1.6v isn't cutting it)? My mobo allows for 1.5 - 2.5v.

      Thank you.

        You can try 1.65V, should not need more than that.
