| 489866 | 2006-10-09 07:33:00 | Will Memtest86 finish by itself or will I have to stop it manually? How long does it take? Hi, U have to stop it yourself. Just remove the cd and restart the pc. I think ppl run it for a few hrs or o/night for proper test but its up to you. |

However, if no errors appear in the first little while (1,2,3 hours) mebbe you can conclude RAM is not the problem and move to the next idea. PSU would be on my list. And find a graphics card, any card. On-board will not run ****e and could be the prob. |

| 489870 | 2006-10-09 20:48:00 | Does this MB have 2x dual ram slots?, if so, try the other 2 slots. My MB didnt like the 1st 2 slots when only 2 dimms used. For a PC to restart/freeze, you can sort in the following order RAM/Overheating/PSU/drivers... PS; gaming on on-boards chips?!.....good luck |

| 489871 | 2006-10-12 02:47:00 | I'm only using the onboard graphics until I can afford the g/card I want. Well it looks like it might be the m/b anyway. CPU isn't overheating, have updated drivers for graphics, chipset and sound, have tried different RAM aswell (different brand and size of chips), have also run some HDD tests that came up clean. So I'm gonna return m/b and get it checked out as it's under warranty. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and help. Will update when I find out more about the m/b. | jazz_99 (10524) | ||
