My system has been acting strange lately. It will randomly shutdown and the power LED just blinks. Power button does nothing, only way to get it back to usable is unplug it for at least an hour then plug it back in. Even then I only get about 2 hours of use out of it.
My system Specs are as follows:
1000 Watt OCZ z80 gold series power supply
2 X Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB hard drives
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition cpu
MSI 790XT-G45 motherboard
8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 ram 4X2GB
MSI N240GT primary video card
MSI N220GT for Physx
Coolermaster HAF 932
Zalman 9900A CPU Cooler
Thought it might be an issue with my overclocking to 4Ghz, so I reset my settings back to the original 3.2Ghz with no change. Then my thoughts moved on to heat issues, the CPU never got above 42C with core temp before the last shut down.
I have tried removing all but 2Gb of RAM, a single hard drive and single video card. My system stayed on longer when I did this but still has the problem.
I am to the point now that this might be a power supply issue and I am getting my old 750 watt back from my friend that I sold it too. So while I wait for him to get that back to me, I was wondering if any of you have any other thoughts on this issue.
Thanks
