AOpen AK79D-400N motherboard using nforce2 ultra chipset Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Corsair Value Ram 512 MB (2 x 256 MB) DDR 400 AOpen FX5600 128 MB 8x AOpen 16x DVD WD 80 GB SE HD 8 MB cache Noname case with 400 watt Future Power PS W2k with SP1 Latest video driver from nvidia 45.23 latest audio from AOpen web site
When playing Halo, Battlefield 1942 or Unreal 2 the system would reset itself, no BSOD, screen would go black and system would startup again. Sometimes it would do this after 15 min and sometimes it would do it after an hour. No alarms before reset. Using MBM temps and voltages seem normal. At idle cpu temp is about 35 C and at load around 50 C. 2 80 mm fans pulling out in addition to 2 fans in PS.
Thought it might be PS, switched to an Antec Smart Power 400 watt and no difference. Tried increasing voltage to cpu ,ram and AGP ,no change. Timing on ram is 2.5 3 3 7 (setup default) Latest updates for software installed.
Thought I try here instead of AOPEN forum as there is more traffic here. First Aopen/AMD system, usually use Abit/Intel. Inexpensive gaming system for my nephews.
TIA
