Default Re: OT - Computer Memory Issue

Another possible reason for random reboots can be power supply. Usually power supplys that aren't working properly or aren't adequate for you power usage are the cause. Memory would cause you frequent system freezes or BSOD, hardly reboots.
Sometimes it can be even memory conflict between applications or even some not-working-as-it-should application (betas can do that sort of thing).

However, since you experience it for a long time I'd say it's power supply.

A BSOD is a reboot though, unless you manually disable that "feature."

I should have clarified. I sometimes turn off auto-reboot to check the error messages (which are always the same message, with a different memory address etc.), but usually have auto re-boot on for stop errors so that is why I was saying re-boot.

It's not a power supply issue.

I recall reading where many ASUS boards had been recalled because they were made with subpar parts. I know that the problem was world wide so again I would contact ASUS and inquire about it.

You have to really be amazed at the technology and the people who perfected it over the years. Can you imagen all of the things, all of the little hurtles that they must have had to over come in order to get a stable working mobo, memory, cpu combination?

The technology behind our computers is indeed amazing stuff.
