The problem is that if I leave the pc on idle for about 6-8 hours it loocks up. It doesnīt matter if the processor is OC or not it still loocks up Why? |

We need full system specs, psu, gpu, etc. I would download memtest 86+ and run it for at least a couple of hours and overnight if possible. Memtest will rule out memory. what are your temps like?

Do you have hibernate set up? Some boards have issues when going into or coming out of hibernate. Latest bios on the board?

No hibernate,I have the latest bios.
After running memtest 86 for 12 hours,there where no errors. Will run memtest 86 in oc mode now. Additional Comment: I am going to send in mu mobo,I was going to try the Turbo core thing in bios and now I canīt get the turbo core to disable..+ I get a piping sound out of the mobo when the cpu is idling. Next I am going try the Asus CROSSHAIR VFORMULA 990FX.. Thanks for the answeres. Last edited by ryssen12 : 05-18-2012 at 03:01 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

If it runs fine under load then usually long idle crashes are a result of fluctuating vcore. |

do you leave anything running when you leave the pc. Maybe some program is steamrolling resources and locks everything up. Firefox has been known to do this. You can trying stressing your components Intel Burn Test for the CPU, Super Pi for the ram, not sure on the GPU anyone? Spin Rite is the best hard drive diagnostic/recovery/maintanence tool I know of but it's not cheap anyone got a freeware idea for hard drive checking?
