XP pro x64 crashing constantly

[Guest Charlie Russel - MVP]

Re: XP pro x64 crashing constantly

 

I use the P180 for my SBS Server, and like it a lot. With a Seasonic PS

(high efficiency), and Arctic Cooler heat sink. In general, I'm liking the

Arctic Cooling heat sinks better than my Zalman. The combination is quite

quiet, very cool, and has solved all my "flakiness" problems with that box.

Well the Arctic Coolers are certainly cheaper than Zalman. I'll take a

look for the next system I build. However, the Zalmans are really

quiet.

I used Seasonic PS as well. 600 watts I don't believe I ever heard the

fan turn on.

 

I had a Gigabyte rocket cooler fail, so they are off the list. Too

noisy anyway. It didn't fail to cool, but it's speed sensor no longer

reported to the mobo.

You are a genius! What sort of infection?

Re: XP pro x64 crashing constantly

 

Problem was hardware - heat related.
