Problem with my HX850?

[timmyhk]

Hi all,

 

My computer was acting strangely lately, sometimes it freeze in games and sometimes in windows. So I decided to run Memtest86 to check it is not a memory related problem. Check all 2 sticks one by one and no error result. Once I run it in dual channel mode, it start to come up with thousand error in test 4.

 

Strangely when I removed the graphic card, the Memtest pass with no error with dual channel mode. Just wondering if my PSU is broken? I have enclosed my computer specs below.

 

Motherboard : Asrock 890gx Extreme 3

Processor : AMD phenom B55 X4

Ram: corsair cmd16gx3m2a1600c9 (Brand New)

HDD: Western Digital Caviar black 640gb

GPU: MSI Geforce 275 GTX

PSU : Corsair HX850

 

This is really annoying, hope this can be solved or else ''time for new pc! ;): '

Highly doubt it's your PSU. That would be either MB or GPU related.

Thanks for reply, I will run my system with onboard graphics for a week or so and see what happen. But the reason I think PSU is faulty is because Memtest86 supposed to be only memory test and work without GPU, so I guess there is some sort of power issue.

 

Hope it is GPU not MB problem as my MB has already given me enough trouble before.

Yes, and no. Yes, memtest should run without a GPU. But the fact that it doesn't points towards your MB/ GPU. Possibly a bad PCI slot or something. But i don't see anything there that would make me think that is a PSU problem.

 

What are your voltages in your BIOS?

12v,5v, and 3.3v rails?
