Comments on: ATX 12V https://www.krunk4ever.com/blog/2006/12/27/atx-12v/ After eliminating all other possibilities, the one remaining-no matter how unlikely-must be the truth.

For no reason at all the computer will reboot. Seems to happen randomly except if I try to play World of Warcraft. Motherboard, Ram and CPU, Case are all brand new. I know it is not the PSU as it done the same in an ATX 20pin case. Have reinstalled more times than hot dinners, upgraded all drivers / bios etc. Happens either on onboard video or agp card. Ran all memory tests, diagnostics I can find. Took the whole unit back to the shop and they could not find any fault with it. Left with a machine that is brand new and still reboots for no reason. Windows reports a stop 9c error but no details on a crash point. I’m at my wits end and have had to give my son my own computer to play WOW. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The temperature monitors I have showed the CPU within the normal temperature range and the heatsink is never hot to touch (just mildly warm).

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to test again until the next time I go home.

Have you tried stressing your CPU for long periods of time to heat it up? A CPU will not get truly hot unless it is at near 100% utilization for at least a few minutes. Just a thought, but perhaps your cpu is only getting stressed when you start playing your video. If you have a Pentium D in a warm house, the stock intel cooler may not be enough, especially if it’s getting dusty.

My guess like yours has gone down to either the motherboard or CPU. A friend of mine suggested a reliable 600W power supply (so you may give that try). Just pick one up at Fry’s and if it works, cool. If not, return it and say it wasn’t compatible with your motherboard.

If that doesn’t work, most likely you can return the board and CPU and get a new combo. If that’s no longer an option, you can try contacting ECS and see what they have to say. I was hoping it’s a firmware issue, but the last time I checked, there was no new firmware.

Good luck to you young Jedi.
