I recently built a new system using GIGABYTE ga-p35 XXXXX Motherboard from
Newegg, using XP, I had the system up and running for three days and then
without warning it died, I had read that others were having issues with these
MB and cpu combination P4 single core 3.8G 775 socket, I was able to send it
back and am waiting replacement, but I'm curious why would this just die like
that?
I've heard of various possible reasons ie bad memory sockets, I used 0 and
2, something wrong with the MB, any ideas? and what do you think the setting
should be on the monitoring of the CPU temp? the lowest setting in the bios
was above the recommended 38C in the cpu manual? and when playing Doom 3 in
Ultra mode (way cool resolution) I was getting some alarms from the bios, but
since the bios had no way of recording what the problem was, I can only
assume it was overheating, how can I set up some type of log so I can view
the bios errors?
