If you don't need one long term, I need a digital one and would be willing to buy you out when you are done with it.
Have you run a full memtest from a boot cd? Iso or auto installer for flashdrive This happening on boot intermittently makes me think of power draw from all the HDs spinning up at once. Does it happen without the raid array?
Cool and quiet can be turned off in the bios, also what thermal paste did you use on the processor? |
No, I haven't run memtest, great idea.
This ram is supposed to run at 1.5v and I haven't been able to see what it's set at in bios, so I'm not even that far yet.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the hdd's all spinning up at once.
No, I don't think I had issues yesterday with them all unhooked, but I'm not exactly sure. I wasn't focusing on power draw, I was thinking short.
None of my hdd's are in raid. They all stand alone, I just backup one to another. They're just for media. This way I know when one pukes.
I also saw my H drive drop out twice, so I need to isolate and see which that one is and check backwards.
I'll do all that later when I have time.
It's working fine now that it's booted, and I never shut it down, so I can fight it when I have time.
I'll look at those testers, too, brother. Thank You!!!
Oh, and Arctic Silver. Not the cheap one, the expensive one.
