History of problems:
Twice froze while playing CS in the past two months. Complete freeze, had to use reset button. Twice restarted while trying to start limewire. Not the only times I've run limewire, but the two times it crashed was while loading limewire. Acted as if i hit the restart button, no loss of power, just rebooted. Events seem random.
This morning:
Keyboard was not lit up(G15), seemed like comp was asleep though. Moved mouse and it acted as though I had just booted up(all the fans had been running though). Got just past the memcheck screen an froze. After hitting the restart button it got as far as the windows loading screen and restarts on it's own. After that it asked if I want safe mode each time, but won't go into windows.
Some of the votages seema little low(3.3 is at 3.24, 5 is at 4.94, Vcore was a touch low too, can't remember how much though). I'm not sure what the tolerances are. Temps are fine. I only O/C the vid card and not by much, it always goes back to stock speeds after I'm done with the game I'm playing.
I'm leaning towards PSU, but it doesn't seem quite right fot that. I'm low on funds for the next while so I can't just go replacing random things. I've pretty much only got one shot at it.
Anythoughts??
Thanks
