Occasional "Warning! Now system is in safe mode" during Bios startup
Asked by a_anis3000 in Computer Motherboards, Computer CPU Processors, Computer Fans and Cooling
Overall the issue is not too often however I wish to investigate for potential hardware problems while they are still under warranty. I double checked the following components
Overclocking: all components are running at stock speed I never overclock as a matter of fact
CPU: I don't believe there are any stability problems since in playing various stressful games the crashes were rare, additionally I had this problem with my previous Core 2 Duo E6420 which still persist after changing it with the E8400 further suggesting CPU defects are unlikely
Ram: I left the "Memory Diagnostic Tool" that comes with Vista which is similar to memtest86 running overnight with no error reported. So Ram should be intact
Motherboard (XFX Nforce 650 Ultra) http://www.xfxforce.com/en
This is the hardest part to tell. The best thing I could think of is changing the battery which didn't make a difference. In terms of faulty capacitors the motherboards is fairly new (9 month old) and the problem started to show up around the 5th month or so, so I don't think the capacitors might have started to decay, still I visually inspected the motherboard for any leaking or bulging capacitors with none found so far.
Any ideas where to further narrow down the problem would be appreciated. I would like to note that the frequency of the problem increased a bit this summer, so was wondering if the problem is a simple case of summer heat issue particularly in term of CPU temperature which I discussed in this previous EE thread below
