wierd stuff

[darkorb]

last night i had my computer on because i was folding, when i went to sleep. in the morning, my computer had randomely restarted itself. maybe overheated? not sure

then just now, i left home at like 4 o clock, i put my computer into hibernation. then i just got home at around 10:30, and i come upstairs to hear that my cpu fan is at 100%, 5500rpm, and that the computer is on...

virus? like wtf..

Is anything OC'd at all?
Run memtest as it might be a bad memory stick.

[darkorb]

nutin is oc'ed, cpu/vid are at stock, and temps are good, >40 cpu/mobo/hdd, and 60 for vid card.

if it happens 1 more time, ill go for memetest

Ya sure the mouse wasn't moved (or a cat walked on the keyboard, etc) and that brought the machine out of hibernation? Sure that F@H wasn't running in the background as a service or had auto-restarted from before the hibernation?

If you are paranoid about unkown background processes, I highly suggest ya pick up a free program that takes stock of everything, and provides much more info than XP's Task Manager can. Other people here can suggest some very good ones... the one I last free one I tried was Iarsen TaskInfo I believe.

F@H was the night before, it was just running by itself and it restarted.

hibernation was nothing open, i didnt wana shutdown, so i hibernated it, i dont have any pets, plus to come out ofhibernation, the power button has to be pressed

Your HD is at 40c??? That a bit warm for my taste.

Well lets your system stay idel and see if it happens again; give memtest a runthrough.

BTW what do the 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails read?

[darkorb]

all the rails are off, and my hdd is at 50 degrees when my fans are at normal rpm, 1600.

i have no intake fan, so getting that antec will hopefully decrees my temps by alot

[werty316]

Care to post what the voltage rails 3.3V, 5V, and 12V are reading/showing? "all the rails are off" doesn't help.

[darkorb]

in everest it doesnt even show, but for speedfan, its
12: 6.56
2.5: 1.98
1.5: 0.98
3.3: 3.31

[werty316]

Those are obviously not reading right. Do you know if the BIOS shows the same numbers?

[darkorb]

it doesnt show in the bios

Your HD is at 40c??? That a bit warm for my taste.

Temps I already read on someone's iMac G5:
Hdd@65°C , CPU@70°C
Guess why it's crashy!

it doesnt show in the bios
Err... Everything from my EPoX MVP3C(AMD K6 / Pentium MMX) to my DFI RS482 (A64/X2/FX) is showing it.

That thing already happened to me with a cheap EUPA IBB mobo (The company closed 1-2 years after) running a Pentium II. The first time it was a bad connection between the PSU and mobo, then I had to change all the #!$*&!@ 6.3v 1000µF caps(leaky, 17 of them), and then, with the latest BIOS(bringing ACPI compliance...), there's a bonus feature : no matter what setting there is in the BIOS, when power goes out, the computer goes on again when power is back.

What is motherboard monitor telling?


Try using your AntiVirus, Trend Micro HouseCall(If Java version doesn't work, use IE and ActiveX version), post an HiJackThis log here.

Still problems?
- Do you use the latest BIOS?
- Are PSU connections fine? (Especially the IEC plug)
- Reset CMOS?
