andysim Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Blue screen on boot up. Before I ring the the company that built my PC I wondered if anyone knows whats going on here. When booting from cold after being left off a few hours or overnight I get a bluescreen just after the first windows load screen and it says it shut down to prevent damage. If I restart it runs fine after that. I mean it stable all day and runs everything I want it too without any problems. I can restart the PC as many times as I want, I only get the blue screen when the power has been off for 2+ hours. Really not sure whats going on but I will give cyberpower a call and see what they say. Does it sound like an issue with the powersupply? i7 950 (not clocked) 6 GIG DDR3 RAM Nvidia GTX560 1TB WD Black GIGABYTE X58A-UD3R (revision 2) 800Watt unbraned Power box.

MTFDarkEagle Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 800Watt unbraned Power box. This could be your problem. I had this exact problem as well, I switched to a high-brand one problem fixed. Dont ever save on a cheap psu! However, before you start buying a expensive PSU, I would suggest having a look in the bios to see the temperatures of several components. If they are hot even then, something is wrong. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
andysim Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) well when i say unbranded its "Buyxg" writen on the side but ive not been able to find out much about the company. Will google some more when i get a free moment =) Anyway I cant see anything overheating or overvolt. CPU runs at 53c max with Prime95 test. Edited December 13, 2010 by andysim
andysim Posted December 15, 2010 Author Posted December 15, 2010 Problem was with my mainboard after all. I did not expect to get a bad board from Gigabyte but these things happen I suppose. Turns out the BIOS was not behaving properly. Its having some repairs made as its under Warrenty. It (the Bios) would lock up at random while I was following thier instructions over the phone trying to get to the bottom of the windows crashing to blue screen.
