Just installed the Windows 7 release-candidate. Everything is peachy. Sorry for wasting everyone's time, but I have to extend a really deep thanks to everyone here for providing me with clues and support to help me maintain my own hardware. I've learned a lot since coming here. You guys rock!

Okay, I've done some research, and I think I found the problem. The Windows 7 beta shuts down every 2 hours. I don't think I have the release-candidate. I'm not sure, really. But it's the only problem that makes any sense. Edit: Yep, this is the issue. Just rebooted two hours from initial...

Alright, I'm running Windows 7 beta, and it has been bugging me about being a victim of software counterfeiting. Here's what the event viewer says: Ending session 0 started ‎2009‎-‎09‎-‎27T05:18:49.640625000Z. Event ID: 10001 ... Is Windows 7 punking me? Edit Temp update: Been...

The manufacturer is corsair and it's brand new. Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies That's my power supply. I'm not sure how to check the event log, but I'll google it.

I adjusted the fan to run much higher. Maintained about 58 C while running a stressful game. Played for a little over an hour, temp never went over 58 C... And it restarted, like clockwork, just like before. I'm kind of at a loss, here.

If the culprit turns out to be the GPU, is there anything I can do to underclock it or cool it down? Or something? Edit: Oh, never mind. Precision IS nifty. :O

I have. I'll play for about an hour, check my temps, and the hottest core will be about 55C. It never seems to go past that. I'm not looking at my GPU temperature, though, which might be the problem. If this continues, there's nothing else I can do to keep this system cool, I've put in an...

I have a lot of characters, but my handle is @seeker_vritri I like the game a lot! I'm supporting it because I'd love to see where it could be in a few years, content-wise. Yeah, I downloaded the drivers for my 260 yesterday. I -am- running the Windows 7 beta, so, that could be part of the...

Okay, so I have that new, big fan installed. But now there's other problems. Just had a very bad crash while playing Champions Online (whole system froze, and there was this horrendous audio feedback). Temps seem better, overall, but I'm having stability issues when I put the system under...

Just installed this, which I got at a going out of business sale for cheap: Newegg.com - EVERCOOL HPJ-12025 120mm Ever Lubricate Bearing (Long Life bearing) Transformer 4 Heat Pipe CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks At the moment I'm running CHampions online at max settings, and the highest...

That thing looks exactly like the transformer 4 I have sitting in my closet. I was going to install it, but... it looked like such a pain. I would have to take out the whole MOBO for it, and when I looked for reviews online, they said it was mediocre. So, maybe I'll just save for a bit and...

Stuff I did: - Remounted fan - Set smartfan to manual and 100% - Disabled "turbo mode" for my CPU using the MOBO tuning software. I've gone down about 10 C from what I was before, on all fronts. The turbo mode disabling seemed to make the biggest difference, and I don't notice any real...

Alright, I'll try re-mounting it and doing that. Also, I heard from someone using an aftermarket fan voided it. So thanks for clearing that up. Now I just have to find the right fan that doesn't cost a bajillion dollars.

I just installed my i7 920. It's in an Antec 900 case with an extra 120mm fan, with the stock fan on it. No OCing, but the cores are getting up to 68-73 C under a load. This is terrifying. I applied the thermal paste thinly and evenly, and the case temp is good. So... what's going on? I've...

Thanks! Nice to have a little peace of mind, I'm still learning the ropes. :)
