| 773417 | 2009-05-13 02:46:00 | My brother has had STOP 0x00000050 a few times, no particular cause found. Today it shut down and he got a BIOS warning: Hardware Monitor Warning He couldn't get anything after a reboot, no boot at all, got him to take the side off and check CPU fan, OK, tried again and got into the BIOS, the only thing in Hardware Monitor now is: Vcore - Book value 1.50 - his - 1.42 3.3v - book value 3.3 - his - 2.56 Board do you think or PSU? Can't remember what PSU he has, a TT I think, he's ringing me back later with that info.... |

| 773419 | 2009-05-13 03:40:00 | Can the PC boot into a CD ? If so run a memory check with memtest. According to Here - I use it a LOT (kadaitcha.cx) 0x00000050 - Drivers are using improper memory addresses. Bad memory as you know can kill a PC from booting. |

| 773420 | 2009-05-13 04:19:00 | True but it did boot after that . And whinged about the HW Monitor . . . . . . which only had the voltages out . . . . . Solmeister is going to install my Enermax in it for him, thanks Solmeister, what would I do without you? And then we'll see . . . . . . . . . |

| 773421 | 2009-05-13 05:39:00 | those voltages are WAY too low ... 2.56v on a 3.3v rail is a major issue imo. Were the 5v and 12v rails at appropriate voltage levels? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 773422 | 2009-05-13 07:58:00 | 5v and 12v seemed reasonable.... | pctek (84) | ||

You keep coming up with gems! |

| 773424 | 2009-05-13 23:53:00 | those voltages seem suspect, the power supply is out of tolerance (3.3 volt rail), the CPU core voltage is derived from the 3.3 volt rail so any drop in that rail will affect the CPU core voltage although its usually done via a buck regulator which SHOULD keep the voltage reasonably consistent. test the power supply with a meter and a suitable load if it drops lower than about 3.2 volts then the supply is suspect | williamF (115) | ||
| 773425 | 2009-05-14 01:32:00 | those voltages seem suspect, the power supply is out of tolerance (3 . 3 volt rail), the CPU core voltage is derived from the 3 . 3 volt rail so any drop in that rail will affect the CPU core voltage although its usually done via a buck regulator which SHOULD keep the voltage reasonably consistent . Yes, I know about the CPU . I have found a choice of 10 ASUS/Gigabyte socket 939 boards now anyway and have bought one in case . I have another friend with an old s939 so I'll keep it for her if the PSU cures it . But seeing as the s939s were getting a bit scarce, I bought one anyway . Refurbished, and cheap so no worries, more hw to add to the collection . . . . . . . . I suspect its the MB anyway . . . . . . . . |
