Hi,
Here's the system:Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
AMD Athlon XP Mobile 2500+
2x512MB DDR400 (PC3200) Kingston
Western Digital 160GB 7200RPM
GeForce FX 5900XT 128MB
450Watt PSU
Windows XP ProThe Problem; Crashing many times.. sometimes when loading game.. other times just wen surfing internet..
When crashing the system just suddenly reboots.. no warning or shutdown message at all..So i've been troubleshooting;
first i changed Videocard.. no good.
Then i changed PSU, i tried a 450W, 300W and a 500W.. But still no good.
I tried changing RAM timings and voltages.. system still sucks.
Finally i tried to higher the CPU Vcore.. At default (14x133) it was 1.45v, i raised it 0.25v, no good, tried another 0.25 untill it hit 1.80 and system was still crashing:S:S:S:S
Anyone know how to get me out of this braincracker?Any responce would sure be appreciated:)

it is possible to have XP set so that it just reboots whenever there is a problem instead of the blue screen of death-perhaps yours is set that way.
I use win98SE but i have noticed that if i have Nview enabled (one of the nvidia enhancements) the computer keeps crashing on anything i do, took me ages to work out it was that. If nview is kept disabled it is as good as gold

Have you checked your temps?ive seen pc`s crashing and freezing when temps go beyond 61C,and also you might want to test your ram with this tool.
