Well I've been suffering from crashes during high load. Test revealed it was the CPU.
I RMA it with Intel, wait a week, get the new one and test it. Same shit.
Now I'm RMAing my mobo tomorrow.
How could the socket have gone faulty.
It worked fine for about 5 months.
Temps?
[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;16386304]Temps?[/QUOTE]
Temps never went above 70 on the board. I had it overclocked to 4GHz. It's an E8400 by the way. The board is the ASrock N7AD-SLI. I have the Thermaltake V1 Cooler.
Maybe the OC was unstable, did you try stress testing it at stock?

Yea I did, but the same problem.

And the OC was stable for the entire time I had the board.
What motherboard do you have? Sometimes stuff just fails because of stress, heat and many other factors. If you can still RMA the thing then no worry's.
what does the crash error code say
The ASrock N7AD-SLI. 740i chipset.
I'm RMAing it tomorrow but I'm a little curious as to why the socket failed.

[QUOTE=OIFY_only;16386891]what does the crash error code say[/QUOTE]
I don't get an error code, it just black screens.
The system logs the error code though doesn't it? Where would I find that on reboot?
Oh it is cutting off to protect itself
what are your specs and psu?
make sure the heatsink is setting right
[url]http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php[/url]
use that to get temps
if those are all fine go into the bios and disable auto shutoff
9800gtx+
N7AD-SLI mobo
Cosair 2x2GBs 800mhz ddr2 ram
e8400
2 500GB western digital and Seagate HDDs.
BFG 550 Watt PSU.
If i disable auto shutoff, wont that
damage it?
what are the temps
I don't have that build put together at the moment.
But the temps wouldn't go above 45 and it'd still crash.
you may need to update the bios for 45nm cpu's
I had the BIOS updated.
boot with out the cmos battery in it
What'll that do? Just wanna be safe here.
cold boot it's fine
Alright, gimme a second.

AH video!
And a Checksum error. But I'm in the BIOS.
[editline]06:02AM[/editline]
Holy shit, I got my two threads confused. You're helping me with the processor socket and the no video threads.
I have video on my old mobo now when I coldbooted.
Okay now you can replace the battery Checksum is most likely the HDD bootfiles/sector is erroring
I did it but now it gets to the starting windows screen then bluescreens and restarts..
Bluescreen details?
Flashes to fast for me to get any of the codes.
[editline]06:09AM[/editline]
I'm running the system check or whatever that windows 7 has.
boot files are erroring
Could it be because of the change of motherboard.
and is there a way to fix them without formating.
uhh do the disk check first,
[QUOTE=OIFY_only;16387686]uhh do the disk check first,[/QUOTE]
Just finished.
Says it can't repair the computer automatically.
[QUOTE=OIFY_only;16387484]Okay now you can replace the battery Checksum is most likely the HDD bootfiles/sector is erroring[/QUOTE]
Taking the battery out clears the CMOS's checksum and therefor you get a checksum error and then the BIOS usually reverts to default
I just noticed my cpu is at 84c in the bios.
I need to reseat the heatsink.
looks like you will need to reformat
