Automatically rebooting every hour

SystemError · 19-03-2009, 03:39 PM

hi
I got a strange problem with my intel DG33FB Motherboard.

The PC is working fine when suddenly; one of the PC fans inside the case audibly increases fan speed and a 4-5 seconds later the system resets. Once the system is back online the same thing is likely to occur EXACTLY one hour later.

PC Specs: Intel Dual Core E2140,Intel DG33FB Motherboard, 1 GB X 1 Transcend DDR2 667Mhz, Seagate SATA 160GB, Circle Cabinet with 400w PSU

EDIT:When the system reboots, nothing is even slightly hot. I have run the intel system monitoring software and all temperatures are in the green before the system resets.

It is a problem with the Intel motherboards. I mean me too having a P5PE-VM Intel Original Motherboard had the problem but I get rid from it.

If you have same BIOS options like me try to do this,

Go to the BIOS
Go to the Advanced tab
Click Hardware monitor
Enable the Fan Control

It will reduce the noise significantly.

The noise comes only a few seconds before restarting.. after the restart the fan runs normal.

Intel BIOS does'nt have those options.. there is only Processor Zone Respose(set to AGGRESSIVE/NORMAL/SLOW) and Processor Zone Damping(HIGH/NORMAL) so its set to NORMAL i n both i guess that is Automatic Mode.. but even changing those does'nt help me with the restarting problem.

Could be due to overheating .Try running your PC with cabinet open and .
