Random Stall/Reboot

by m4psycho . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

Hi,
Recently just built a computer with the ASUS P5NSLi board and the following components:

OCZ 2x1gb DDR@ RAM, running at 700MHZ (2.1 V)
Intel 6300 @ 2.4GHz
Stock HSF
eVGA GeForce 7900 GS KO
500W Enermax Liberty PSU

I realize the board is rated for DDR 667 but I’m pretty certain the “o/c” to 700 isn’t the problem. At random times after the computer is shut down and started up again, the computer won’t even post and there will be a blank screen, and when I manually turn off the power and boot it up again it loads windows and everything works. Sometimes it’ll post (with the beep) but then it’ll just restart when it loads up windows and after it restarts it’ll work fine. Othertimes it’ll go into some messed up “safe-mode” version of windows, and when you manually restart it works fine again. This doesn’t always happen but is frequent enough when I start up the comp that it’s quite annoying…The computer is rock stable while started up i.e. playing games etc…..

Any thoughts? thanks.
