Prime95 blend and large FFT tests make my desktop drop without a stop error

[timmy]

I can test small FFT (CPU) fine with no issue.
I have also ran memtest86+ for 8 hours and counting, no errors found yet with 3 passes.
Is there a way to test the north bridge and or memory controller hub? My mobo is a 7 years old p8p67m pro and still seems fine.
I hate that lga1155 is not only discontinued but more than RRP for whatever stock is left, and my i7 2600k is going well 7 years on so dont want to replace what works and performs fine....:batting:

[timmy]

After 16 hours if memtest returns no errors gonna try a single ram module in each dimm slot and see by process of elimination if a specific slut is broken or if the north bridge is fucked and need a new board :hyper:

[maks]

what do you mean drop

[timmy]

Turns off without a sound like as if its an emergency shutdown. Temps are fine with good airflow. Very odd if RAM comes back squeeky clean

[maks]

it's a cap just got to figure out of it's mobo or psu

[maks]

or your power cable is loose but you're not that stupid I don't think

[Wendy <3]

Post this in the pink forum so stevey can help you

[juji]

Steffies would help you since hes known as king of all computers or perhaps you should invest a new comp with Ryzen

[timmy]

it's a cap just got to figure out of it's mobo or psu

Memtest ran for 17 hours and 7 passes without error.
How would i test psu without tools?
I found my pau is older than my mobo by a few months in 2011 "Antec TPQ-1000 1000W TruePower Quattro ATX & EPS 12V Power Supply, Modular Cables, Four 12V Rails, 80Plus Certified"
Its ran good for ages. Gonna try dimm slot tests tonight.

you'd run it with a different psu and observe if the problem persists

[Wendy <3]

I have a pc with the same issue and narrowed it down to the psu or mobo. Idc enough about it to swap either of them out. All i know is that it runs without issue in linux but it crashes randomly in windows with no logs or anything

[timmy]

it's fixed. I found out that my board was using the third release of the bios versions, reading tonnes of shit about it and there were several updates to the bios that fixed many stability issues.
can run both prime95 tests that were dropping my computer.

now im wondering if my last radeon card was blue screening due to a faulty bios version :hmm:

all that does is tell you the PSU works. if it was turning off randomly this test wouldn't help troubleshoot it.

really? never seen a bios do that, good catch

[timmy]

yea i stumbled across my board's issues from launch when searching for hardware issues relating to it, a tech post from 2011 saved me lol. i updated it's bios from version 0703 to 3701, the list of previous versions had 9 fixes for stability and compatibility... im more worried about how this board's issues may have impacted my replacement of GPUs over the past 7 years.

For some reason, your mobo got dirt and dust may overheat which shortens life.

More reasonable than buying a gtx 9 series months before the 10 series launched...
11 series soon:hyper:

you doing vr yet?

[timmy]

Not yet. Maybe when its cheaper cause those good vr headsets are procey. Vr looks good but i wanna see a full body control instead of just handsets people would loose weight

since this is the computer problems thread I recently got some odd problem where I hear this weird revving sound from inside my computer, kind of sounds like a playstation controller vibrating at full blast on and off in like 5 bursts every 10 seconds or so, and just now I hear this weird high pitched squeaking along with it that almost sounds like a bird chirping, and this seems to cause mad slowdown on my computer like I only have 1GB of RAM or something and every program freezes or just goes super slow, but this is intermittent so far I usually just restart and it calms down for like 12 hours operating as normal

here's an audio recording of it, it didnt pick up the revving sound but it seriously sounds like there's a fucking little bird in there what le fuck :bird:

The revving sound could be a fan close to failure. Download HWmonitor i think it should show fan speeds. Bearings on fans last so long depending on the bearing type. They run out of oil over time and stop cooling your system.
https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
HW monitor should also show system temps and is better used on a second screen to watch in real time. Cpu and gpu should be good under 70 degrees celcius on 100% workload but they are designed to handle up to 90 or even 100 degrees celcius but thats very bad for durability.
When it makes sounds watch your temps. You can leave the side of the case open and look in with a flashlight when it is making sounds to determine where its coming from.

[timmy]

Fan failure and high temps will cost you a bundle. Replacement is cheap maybe 20 pounds, gotta measure the fan size or look up your case's manufacturer for specifications

[timmy]

Sleeve bearing fans are cheap and fail the fastest. Ball bearing fans can last a while but cost more. Premium fans have some new designs and cost more but can last years but at a high cost.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supplies-101,4193-18.html
Toms hardware has some of the best info on computer parts

[timmy]

Just listened to the bird sound, sounds like a fan bearing experiencing friction. Motherboard would probably slow down performance (mhz on cpu and gpu) to save face on high temps.

6 fan setup with positive air flow does not allow dust to settle inside the case. Air is constantly squeezing out of all the cracks. Its fine thank you for caring

Air flow is a lie, it catches dirt like natural until you have to install dust filter.

Besides you need to know about PSU must have label which contains like 80 plus as power efficency, for example bronze, silver and gold. I've mantained my old pc in Mexico since 2012 and never died during 6 years, everything is faster like a mac computer.

[juji]

Suprisingly it's still running.

[rubycalaber]

or if something is in the way of a fan preventing it from operating

ok I checked inside the case and the main fan and mb fan seem to be spinning fine and I am p sure the meme sounds are coming from the cooling system, I think I have a liquid cooling system since there's two big thick BBC looking tubes coming down

but then yesterday I was playing overwatch and my comp crashed and now it wont boot windows 10 properly, I tried doing those options like reverting to a previous version of w10 or removing all my "apps" that never ever work and it gave me some weird thing saying my iROG-1 is updating and it took 12 hours to reach 100% and then did nothing but restart and start again from 0%, I looked it up and I think this is my motherboard being fucked idk, so I just restarted again and now I have the BIOS again, how do I unhack myself I was in the middle of making a megathread REEEEEEE

[juji]

Did you know when BIOS is configured if CPU gets more than 80 degress of temperature in celsius, it automatically shut downs due to failsafe?

no i didnt know that :monkaS:

hang on I managed to get it to load safe mode and its working im becoming a hacker :hax: what do i do now to get this bird out my comp

[juji]

safe mode disables some drivers and startup applications

[maks]

I don't know a lot about liquid cooling but it does sound like thermal shutdown so the cooling system is where I'd look, maybe the pump or whatever

[timmy]

Honestly liquid cooling is not necessary if you dont overclock. Fans last longer and liquid is only about 10 to 20 or so degrees cooler.

Observe the fans on your liquid cooler, listen closely to the pump if possible. What brand is it?

Also look at the graphics card fans and watch if they struggle to spin.

Check your temps in hwmonitor. Seriously i have a feeling you didnt and just played games. You can stress test with software like prime95 for cpu or furmark for gpu

[timmy]

Stress test with software, watch temps and fan speeds in hwmonitor, observe the open case on a desk or something. Video record it so we can look at the setup and possibly judge you for dust collected

[rubycalaber]

so I ended up just sending it into a computer repair store so some nerds can look through my history and report me to the police for saying nigger on the internet and it turned out the graphics card had sagged down a bit and the thing it connects into the motherboard with had bent which was causing a tanty in the motherboard I guess so they ordered me a new one (GTX 1080) and so that it doesnt get bent like the last one they literally just put cable ties around it lmao

this some nigger rigged shit fam smh but the real meme is the retards who made it in the first place (inb4 this is me and you can buy some sort of plastic shelf for it thats common knowledge when getting a new comp) not putting in any way to support a heavy ass graphics card properly that's just dangling in mid-air on one side

lol zotac ruby's poor

I didnt select it, they did and I just paid for it

I asked if I should wait for the RTX 2080 Ti or whatever to come out and they said it was overpriced bs with functionality that no one would ever have their comp or game make the most of or even notice but I considered it only because fuckbois like you would get triggered if I dropped a grand on a graphics card


the screw is supposed to keep it from stressing the motherboard, whoever built your system fucked up

would that hold for the 5 years I've had it for?


Wouldnt warrnty cover this?

I remember choosing between a 1 year one and a 5 year one and I forget which one I chose but it doesnt matter as of literally today

will it explode like the computers in die hard 4?

it's not, I only had one alienware in 2010 (I had to use it when this was in the shop, rip all the programs on it that dont even exist anymore like aim, msn and yahoo messenger) here's what my current Gaming Rig™ is

[/IMG]

It's steel. The case it aluminum, if anything was going to deform it would be that. Still incredibly unlikely. I blame the system builder.

[timmy]

64 gigs of ram is insanely too much. 16 gigs is where its at atm but most games dont need it. Youre 48 gigs overkill buddy.

Also the waterr cooling wont cause an electrical fire, pump is just a point of failure. If it ever stopped working you would just deal with instant shutdowns due to cpu overheating.

Rtx is dumb. 1080 ti does everything you could want. Unless youre going 4k monitor then just get two 1080 ti. Ray tracing wont be good until the next series 2100 comes out dont waste money on it it doesn't work well with this new hardware

[timmy]

Rtx 2080 ti with ray trCing on 60 hertz 1080p struggles to get 60 fps... let that sink in.. stupid tech should have been held off for another generation

[juji]

Steffies still thinks his pc is better than yours

[rubycalaber]

alright the weird chirping and revving noises came back but I've managed to find out where it's coming from, it's one of the fans ontop of my computer tower :mysterysolved: seems to be dying or has something stuck in it

http://rubycalaber.com/img/webm/fanfucked.webm

how do I get this thing to shut the fuck up? it seems to be apart of or directly above the liquid cooling system or whatever this thing is on the top with the two BBCs coming out of it

https://i.imgur.com/DgM7cy7.jpg

inb4 the faggots at the computer repair store ripped me off and I didn't need a new graphics card at all

[timmy]

either something is stuck in it restricting free movement or the ball bearing is breaking/leaked it's lubricant... you need to find an appropriate replacement. what model closed loop cooler is that? should be able to find an exact or similar replacement online, unscrew the radiator, take the fan off and unplug it, and put the new one in it's plug/place. its a very easy task, just make sure you dont have the power unit plugged in and touch metal on the case to discharge any static electricity. if you zap a ROM chip on the board you could accidentally wipe it's memory and brick the motherboard. dont touch chips willy nilly especially if youre on carpet.

[timmy]

ROM chips hold the firmware to your hardware, they are various sizes looking like this just as a reference. i havnt bothered to look at how they store data but a strong enough zap could rearrange the information in them to unstable or useless.
