Random Lock ups

I'm using K9N2-SLI plat with Bios 3.5, AMD64 X2 6400+ Black Ed., 4GB ram (2x2GB Cas 4-4-4-12 T2 matched set), XFX 8800GTS(92) 512, Corsair TX650, Artic Cooler Freezer64 CPU H/S running Vista64 Home Premium Sp2. I'm having random lock-ups during 3D games. Sometimes it locks up after 30 mins in game or sometimes it locks up after days of playing, I can't get it to reproduce the lock up at will. I have read alot of post about this motherboard and it seems it comes down to power supply. I had a New Apevia Beast 2 rail system but after reading the posts I returned it for new Corsair TX650. At full load CPU cores never go above 47c and Idles around 30-31. Ran mem test over night with no errors. Did notice in Mem Test it stated Ram was set at Cas 4-5-5-18 T2. I went to BIOS and set the mem for Volt 2.0 Cas 4-4-4-12 T2. This did reduce the lock-ups to the point I thought I had it fixed. Than today I locked up twice. When it locks up computer becomes unresponsive last sound repeats for few seconds and the only way to resume is to press restart button. I have tried with Cool n'quite on and off, DOT is never been on. Computer runs fine in 2d operations. It's only when I go into 3d games. Video Card has been tested in other machine and is working fine. My game sometime requires me to stay logged in over night to Sell goods. Every morning this last week computer has froze sometime during the night. Crysis plays fine for hours, It seems it happens in not so demanding games, Aion, Knight Online and Wow. All power plugs are plugged, fresh install of Vista, Newest drivers from web site, Bios update via the Forum USB key app. Would really like a reliable computer. What am I missing? Let me know if you need any other info.

OK I ran single stick and it locked up quicker. I went to BIOS used optimized defaults with only changing the volts to 2.0. and it locked up again. It's lockups seem longer if I change mem setting to 4-4-4-12 T2. I used CPU Z and noticed few things.
The memory report from CPU-Z:

since I was using EPP profile 1 I noticed that motherboard is running my memory at 4-4-4-12-24(EPP profile shows should be 22)-2T. Should I change to match memory? or should I try JEDEC #3 @ 400MHZ

  • P6N-SLI-FI Random Lock-ups

    Hi,
    New build listed below.  Works great 99% of the time.  The only issue I have is infrequent random lock-ups.  The lock-ups occur either during windows start-up, or randomly while doing some non-stressing task (like web browsing or word processing).  Currently at 2.4GHz, but have had it higher.  I lowered it to 2.4 to see if it made any difference, but it seems about the same.
    Since "lock-up" can mean a lot of different things I will describe it.  The screen freezes totally.  Does not respond to any input (CTR-ALT-DEL) etc.  It often seems to occur in the middle of HDD access, and the HDD light stays on continuously.  Hard reset is required to fix.
    It has not locked up during a game, burning or transcoding a DVD or when running any stress tests.  It happens VERY INFREQUENTLY (I just had my first one in about a week) and is not repeatable.  The only other bit of info I can come up with is that is seems that it usually occurs during HDD access, and the HDD light is stuck on.
    I almost wish I had the problem more often.  If I had this problem regularly I would feel pretty comfortable troubleshooting, but as it is I could spend a lot of time changing things around and "think" I fixed it only to have it come back a week later.
    My thoughts are either a RAM issue or my PSU.  Thoughts?

    Do you have all the necessary options for overclocking disabled, C1E, EIST, all the spread spectrums. Also what are your cpu voltage and NB voltage set at...those two seem to have the most effect on system stability when ocing. Also what are your memory settings... I have your same memory and it refuses to work at anything but its advertised setting (800mhz at 4-4-4-15)

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum random lock-ups and BSOD

    I built a new PC about 3 months ago and from day 1 it has always locked up / frozen at random intervals. Sometimes it also BSOD's with a Machine Check Exception. Seems to lock up / freeze more often when have multifple windows open eg. Multiple IE running but really is random. I have replaced the Mobo and Ram but keep having the same issues. Have tried a clean install but no luck either. Did a clean install on an old IDE HDD and seemed fine but it did not have all of the software that I run on the SATA drive. Thinking the SATA drive may be the issue? Please Help!!!
    System is as follows:
    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum [Bios 1.D]
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ DC [AMD Drivers]
    2 x Kingston 1024Mb ram [Dual Channel]
    Nvidia 6800 Ultra [Latest Drivers 91.31]
    Thermaltake Purepower 460W PSU +3.3V 30A, +5V 30A +12V 15A
    Western Digital 200G SATA II HDD [SATA Port 5 i think]
    1 x LG DVD +-R/RW [IDE Master] IDE port closest to edge of Mobo
    1 x LG CDR/RW [IDE Slave]
    MS XP Home SP2

    Seemed fine?
    There isn't really be any difference between an IDE drive and a sata.
    Except that the sata drive needs some drivers as your installing the os.
    Check your ram timings in bios but likely it's your psu.
    Which components are on which rail?
    The ones that use the +12v are your cpu,cdrom,dvdrom and graphics card.
    Try disconnecting both roms and see if it improves things?

  • Random lock ups on my 17" 1.33....please help!

    Well ive had my powerbook 17" for probably about 6 months and every so often it just decides to lock up forcing me to hold down the power button to reset it. Im not doing any heavy task i could be doing anything really, browsing a webpage or just chatting on aim. Ive used cocktail many times to try and fix it with no luck in fixing it. I really would rather not install a fresh copy of os x since i have everything just how i like it but this is just getting old. I had a 14" ibook and that thing never locked up once. This isn't like a mac and i was wondering if anyone had a solution or suggestion out there. Thanks in advance.

    In order to isolate the cause of these lock downs it is going to be necessary for you to backup your data first. Please let us know when this is done, and we can proceed?

  • Random lock ups on iPod Touch 8GB

    Out of the blue, my ipod screen will go almost completely black. You can barely see the screen that you were on and it becomes unresponsive. It will then show a black screen with the apple logo, but nothing more. I did a restore on it and removed all my extra apps, etc. It was good for almost a week, but tonight it did the same thing again! Please help!!! Any ideas? It is no longer under warranty.

  • Random lock ups with MSI P67A-GD65 (B3). Please help!

    Hello all,
    I just built a new system with the following components:
    MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
    Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
    EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
    Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850W ATX 12V  PSU
    Antec Lanboy air case
    2X Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB in RAID0 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    This was supposed to be my dream computer, but it has turned into a nightmare! It locks up constantly.  Usually the mouse pointer will disappear and the computer will just freeze up.  This normally seems to occur after the computer has been idle for a while.  I have read that there might be compatibility issues with the MSI P67A-GD65 and the GTX 570 video cards.  Can anyone confirm this?  Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?  The only thing event viewer is showing is the unexpected shutdown when I have to power cycle it.  Thanks in advance!

    That can happen, & it can really mess things up if two kits are attempted to be run together. The platform is DDR3 1333 as to native support by the CPU IMC. If the system can't run on 1333 RAM speed at CR 1, 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v's, then something is wrong. No system should ever have to use an OC (or X.M.P.) as a workaround to make it work. That's why I recommended the Crucial 1333. Plug one stick in the blue primary dimm slot to get everything loaded & checked out, & go from there.
    Exactly which SATA ports are you using for the HDD's & RAID? White Marvell or Intel SATA III, or the black SATA II? 
    Unfortunately, my local shop didn't have the Crucial, so I grabbed the Corsair instead.  The Velociraptors are running from SATA 1 and 2 (the top white connectors).  I also have 2X HITACHI Deskstar 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s running in RAID0 from SATA 3 and 4 for storage (this computer is intended for HD video editing, compositing in After Effects, etc.).  Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post!

  • Re: Satellite P300-161 - Random Lock-ups/Freezing

    Hi all,
    I've had my Toshiba Satellite P300-161 laptop for roughly about 6 months now. However, during the past month or so.. I've been experiencing random freezing of the whole laptop.
    It usually just starts off at anytime.. then it'll have a break then start freezing again. When it freezes, it lasts for about 10-15 seconds and everything goes to "Not Responding". Even Ctrl + Alt + Del doesn't load up the task manager until after the freezing stops. However, I've discovered that when it's in its "freeze" mode, where the applications are not responding, I can give the laptop a gentle tap with my hand on the open space area to the right of the touchpad... and it unfreezes.... Surely this is a bad thing.
    I plan to take this back to where I purchased it from and have it sent off to Toshiba to get it fixed as I have a 2 year warranty with them IF I can't get help from here.
    Much help needed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Benny Fung.

    Hi.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yeah, it's currently running on Vista SP1. I have reinstalled Vista _once_ for this laptop, perhaps I should reinstall it again before I take it back to John Lewis just to make sure...
    I don't think it's overheating, as it can do it at anytime.. for instance, I could just be running Firefox and Messesnger and it still does it and with 3GB of RAM and 2.1Ghz, it should be able to perform simple tasks like that without overheating.
    Hmm, What's this air spray cleaner thing you're talking about? How does it work?
    Thanks.

  • Random lock ups/ reboots on iPad 4 on IOS7

    Just started noticing random lookups and reboots when using safari for extended period of time.  My ipad 4 didn't do that before upgrading to ios 7. Any advice besides hard reset or resetting settings? I really don't want to try a " setup as new device" reinstall of ios 7

    I've been having the same issue, mine only occurs after switching applications and or taking a screenshot. I went to an apple Genius Bar and they said that for 99$ you can get a whole new iPad. I'm cheap so I haven't done it yet but this is REALLY annoying!

  • Random Restarts and lock ups

    Hi all,
    I know there's similar threads on this, but i'm experiencing random lock ups and the phone restarting itself at random. It's the "panic.plist" crash several users have complained about. This issue mostly leads to a hardware problem according to the existing threads.
    In my case, this happens about once a month, like a handful of times ever since 12/20/2011 (date of activation). If my hardware was shot, wouldn't this happen several times a week? Several times a day?
    64 GB iPhone 4S w/ iOS 5.1.1 by the way.

    Just an update - ripped the sound card out, rebooted and installed the software for on-board sound - problem solved i can actually talk on vent and the computer boots without errors and hasnt crashed in the past week. Basically was $200 very poorly spent as i cant really be bothered ever putting it back into my system - support told me to download the latest drivers (first thing i did when i found the problem s didnt fix a thing) huge thumbs down for creative - to sum it up - use onboard sound if it works and you want a stable computer.

  • Terca 9100 lock ups

    Hi!
    I recently got my hands on a second hand tecra 9100. I got it free since the previous owner complained about random lock ups or freezes. As i've testaed the laptop myself i experienced this aswell. It can freeze just about anytime but i've never had it running flawlessly for more than 20 minutes i recon. Sometimes it also refuses to start up. I do not know if this is a lock up in the initial startup sequence.
    Anyway it will lock up even in bios and i have dissassembled it and put it back together, replaced the RTC battery (with a non rechargable) and removed any hardware not crucial for useage (i.e WiFi card, extra RAm modules, modem card).
    I'm clueless, anyone got any idea of what to try next?
    Regards Simon

    I think you cant fix it by yourself
    In your case the ASP should check the notebook and if necessary replace the faulty part/device.

  • Lock ups XF-I and X1900

    Hi I am running
    EVGA 33-K8-NF4-AX with the latest Bios
    Radeon x900xtx
    2 gig OCZ 2-3-2-5 ram
    Antec true power 2.0 550watt PS
    Sony 80a Dvd burner
    70 gig raptor sata dri've
    300 gig seagate sata 3 dri've
    Sound Blaster Xf-I extreme music
    Windows XP SP2
    I get random lock ups under any D3D or OpenGL game as long as im on the desktop my sounds function without an issue. Previously I had been using a EVGA 7800 gt with no problems. Under the 7800 gt I did not have any lock u
    ps.
    Before installing the Radeon x900xtx I did a format of the dri've and a clean install of windows xp with SP2. I have tried catalyst 6.4 and the lock ups were very frequent in catalyst 6.3 they are less frequent and more random. I have upgraded to the latest drivers for every other component on my pc. I posted this here and also I have sent in a ticket to ATI because if I remove the XF-I and go with the real tek 8 channel onboard sound all of the lock ups disapear. When the XF-I is in the pc and it locks up it goes into a sound stutter at random times in any D3D or OpenGL game

    I don't think so, Lion with the latest updates is running fine for most of us.
    Post the log for your next lockup or the previous one if you can isolate the timeframe.

  • Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

    Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
    Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

    Hi-
    The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
    Noted possibilities are:
    -Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
    -firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
    -Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
    Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
    Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
    If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
    External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
    I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
    Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

  • P7N SLI Platinum lock-ups

    My specs:
    Q6600 stock speed
    Kingston HyperX pc8500 2x 1gb. I manually set it to it's rated timings, voltage and frequency. I have also tried different ram, from Exceleram and it makes no difference.
    2x Asus EN8800GT 512mb cards (tried using just one card too, tried switching to a different 8800gt card from sparkle too, no change.)
    HDD: Have tried several hard drives, pata and sata from probably all the manufacturers, i dont see why i need to post their specs since they problem persists nomatter what hdd i use.
    Windows XP SP3 proffessional.
    nothing else is in the system, i removed every piece of hardware, like sound card, optical drive, etc. to isolate the problem.
    Power supply: Thermaltake ToughPower 700W
    BIOS Version: the beta bios posted on this forum that supposedly fixes the video corruption bug (it doesnt). Also tried 1.0 and 1.1
    The problem:  random lock-ups. Sometimes it doesnt happen for 2 days and then BAM! Its happening every 15 minutes now. It might stop happening for another 12 hours and start locking up again. It only ever happens when im working in 2d applications like browsing, using messenger or IRC, watching videos on youtube or in a media player, or just moving files around or anything mundane like that.  it once happened when i wasnt touching the keyboard or mouse at all, i was waiting for some files to finish copying over LAN.  I also get the famous video corruption but it is EXTREMELY rare, like once a month.  It crashed the last time the video corruption appeared, once i tried to click the player to pause, the system crashed.  The system will never lock up while playing games, i play medieval II total war for days without any problems.  The store i bought the p7n from tested it for me and they said it worked fine, but they used an ATI card so that may be a clue?  Then again, they are really incompetent and didnt run the right set of tests, and ignored what i had told them about the nature of the crashes.
    Detailed description of the events:  System freezes, first everything except the mouse is frozen but if i try to click with the mouse, it freezes too and the screen flashes a black screen every few seconds.  it never recovers and i have to shut it down by holding the power button for several seconds.  some of the 2d graphics in windows get corrupted with artifacts, and the mouse does get heavily corrupted usually.
    What i've tried:
    I thought the mobo was defective but it isnt, i got a new mobo from the store and it has the same problem. 
    Tried working my way through every combination of memory timings, frequencies and voltages that i thought might make a difference but it has no difference on the crashes.
    All the hardware works perfectly in my Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard (i bought this msi mobo for some different reasons that i wont go into here), so theres nothing wrong with any of my components.
    The only item i've not had the oportunity to switch with a different one is the power supply, but again, it works perfectly with all other motherboards that i've tried.
    Is this possibly related to the video corruption bug?  Does anyone have any idea when the next bios release is due? Please help, it sucks to buy an expensive motherboard that just doesnt work. i'll have to buy a 3rd sli mobo if I cant fix this.
    PS:  Is it not possible to regulate fan speed for sysfans connected to the mobo's fan connectors? My asus mobo had great fan speed controls in the bios, if this one doesnt have any such options, i call that ridiculous.

    I appreciate your effort, guys. I've tried running the memory in 800mhz and on auto timings and on some other timings too (i was kinda desperate and i messed around with the memory configuration for days with no success), and tried auto volt (it gets set to 1.8 which the memory is rated for at 800mhz) and tried 1.9 and 2.0 and 2.1 and 2.2 and i've tried completely different memory modules too that i borrowed, and tried running in single channel with both modules and running just 1 module.  none of these experiments had any effect on the crashes :\.  But don't you think this could be related to the video corruption bug? I always thought it was, since this problem doesnt seem to happen for me when there is an ATI card in the system.  Not that my 8800gt cards are defective in any way either, they are rock solid on my other motherboard. 
    I have one more theory, some weird inexplicable compatibility problem between this particular PSU and this particular mobo. Think it's a possibility? The psu is the only thing i have not switched out for another component, every other component i have switched for another one that was known to be working fine.
    also, there is the extremely distant possibility that the issue is caused by an issue that the mobo might have with BOTH the kingston and the excelleram modules that i tried, however this seems far-fetched. but this problem is a fact and SOMETHING is causing it. i've eliminated almost everything i can think of.

  • K8n neo2 platinum lock-ups

    Hello everyone, well here is the deal, I ust built yesterday my first amd64 system, specs are as follows:
    amd athlon 64 3200+ Clawhammer
    512mb ddr400 (single stick)
    120gb sata drive
    1 dvd unit, 1 dvd-ram unit
    geforce 3 ti 500 (i know, i have to replace it)
    soundblaster live! 24-bit
    stock case psu
    Before that, i had the same config but with an athlon xp 2600 + witch an msi k7n2 delta2, it worked fine. But this one, as soon as i start gaming the game will randomly slow down to a crawl and then lock-up the pc... I used to have this same problem with a kt4v which i replaced thinking it was gone bad, though i did notice on that board the 3.3v line was quite faulty, well same thing is happening here, at least i think
    If i leave Corecell opened while gaming, the game will suddelny minimize, corecell will pop-up with an alarm and show about 2.8-29v on the 3.30v line... now before i go out and spend some money on a new psu, I need to know if this could be it ? or could it be the old gf3 acting up?
    As i said, this same thing used to happen to me with an old kt4v paired with my old athlon xp 2600+, it stopped happening when i switched to the k7n2 delta2 but here it is back again...
    help please!

    Well I´m back, meaning that my lock-ups are back 
    Although this time I think they're not voltage - psu based... all my voltages are on their normal conditions, temps are doing just fine, I can even game with no issues, the problem is my computer is randomly locking-up
    I have read and re-read this post, Because I am having the same symptoms as this guy did, just random lock-ups , no time interval, the conditions cannot be reproduced , so Im guessing its either
    a) hardware
    b) bios settings/bios
    More info: I upgraded my bios to syar's moded 1.A, turns out I'm running on a Venice 3200+ (not clawhammer as I stated before) ... Cnq is disabled, so is spread spectrum, so is aggresive timings, no dynamic overclocking, no fast writes, no sideband addresing, memory timings are at the manufacturer's specs, no overclocking whatsoever, fsb 200*10 , htt 5x...
    Just so u know, the computer has been powered on for the last couple of nights downloading and It runs fine idling, but when i start surfing, or doing whatever it will lock up on a random time/condition basis (it hasnt locked up yet while gaming though)

  • Verify Disk results, confusing.. Can they be the cause of system lock ups?

    I have been experiencing strange freezes on my Mac Pro 2008 system.
    My boot disk is a 50% full 128GB SSD from Crucial and is running beautifully fast however for the past couple of weeks my system often freezes for anything from 3 seconds to 30 seconds and then the Finder restarts.
    After the Finder restarts everything continues running smoothly. As if nothing ever happend, no error reports, no apps crashed, nothing.
    I have verified disk permissions and verified the disk itself in Disk Utility but I am not quite sure what these results mean and if they could be the cause of these random lock ups.
    here are the results:
    Verify permissions for “Boot Disk”
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    Checking volume information.
    The volume Boot Disk was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    I would really appreciate it if someone that knows their way around this stuff could help me troubleshoot this.
    As for the problem of the system locking up it does not happen in the same application consistently.
    Often it happens in Firefox but it could equally often happen when working in Photoshop, browsing files in the Finder or trying to access the Spotlight search via the keyboard shortcut.
    When the system locks up I get the spinning beach ball and I can still move the mouse and click and even still access CMD+TAB app switcher, switch spaces and all those things, just applications become non responsive.
    If you need any more details please let me know.
    Thanks for reading,
    Jannis

    These are innocuous errors that you may safely ignore. However the disk error is a problem. Do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
