The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sporadically will not boot - BIOS resets

Asked by PeteLong in Windows Installer, Computer Motherboards

Well Ive asked this on the MSI support Page and Overclockers and Ive had no responses so here goes.............

Hardware Specs

Motherboard: MSI X48T Platinum Intel X48 (775) DDR3 1600FSB
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9450 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.66GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB
Memory: 8GB DDR3 Corsair Memory TWIN3X4GB1600C9DHX (4X2GB)
HDD1: OCZ Core 64GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
HDD2: 1TB Seagate, SATA-II, 32MB Cache
HDD3: 1TB Seagate, SATA-II, 32MB Cache
Graphics: 512Mb GDDR3 9800GTX - HDTV, DUAL DVI Xpervision
PSU: Hiper 680w HPU-5K680 SLi Certified ATX 2.2 PSU


Problem



Set up and built the above PC, and other than I needed to put a second Power lead into the graphics card (does it really need 2?). all appeared to be well. Then occasionally the system would freeze - nothing logged to event viewer etc.

It would take a few reboots to get it back - I doubt this is a windows problem (It has hung whilst in the BIOS before), Every so often it will give me a

previous attempt of overclocking failed.... when I boot it

Note: Dynamic over clocking is disabled in the BIOS! I have ran it with and without onboard RAID, Ive flashed the BIOS to the latest version I can find, Ive removed all the memory sticks and ran without them sequentially, Ive removed and re-seated the CPU, Ive tried running without each HDD connected. Still the problem persists.

Please can someone advise me what I should be setting in the BIOS? to make this machine run smoothly, Its the best hardware I could afford, I just want it to work!

Also I get a bizarre series of beeps and chirps form the BIOS (even when it boots successfully).
