the RAM timings are fine, but it hasnt happened since i turned my power setting to "performance" from "power saving"

The BIOS setting or the Windows setting? The Windows setting just changes the multiplier, increasing it seems unlikely to solve the problem. Changing performance level in BIOS alters the RAM timings which would make sense.

If it hasn't happened since you switched to performance that means the problem is with your CPU/GPU downclocking. Probably screwed BIOS.
Best thing to do is flush bios and install the newest one.

it's almost always a windows issue. everyone on here jumps to hardware conclusions so quickly that some people fuck up their PCs for good trying to fix a simple issue. good job, but if it reoccurs, i would check if the GPU drivers are functioning properly to be cautious and disable automatic restart to give you a better idea.

@Neivler, insta restart was never on. They are not BSOD
@LaiShin and Doko the DDR3 Ram is fine, they were not problems with it
@Mr.Con, I am either thinking it is my PSU OR GPU because they were both transfered from my old pc without ANY problems to THIS one im currently using, and after that , i started to experience the problems.
whats the power wattage on the PSU?
maybe it doesn't produce enough watts to run the new system
try the GPU in a different machine , see if it still crashes

On a newly built computer? It's far more likely to be a hardware, BIOS, Driver problem than Windows. Even if it wasn't a new computer the symptoms aren't consistent with a Windows error. Also that particular setting is one of the only ways you can change BIOS settings from within Windows.

Ok, everything is fine, ram timing is fine in the BIOs, just today i booted my pc up and after the windows screen's saying "Window 7 is loading" right after that, i got a blue screen, no dumps, not nothing just a blue screen.

boot in diagnostic mode and try to get to event viewer or if you can boot into safe mode, find out where it hangs during windows startup. sounds like a driver got corrupted. what have you installed so far? which GPU and drivers are you on? any virtual drives?

Im on the nvidia 260.89 drivers for the 470GTX, and under event viewer in critical it says kernel power.

CPU is either going to hot or quad core gaming is annoying with sc2 try to only run 2 cores instead of 4. What are your temps when running sc2?
|
Best thing now would be to reinstall OS. There is an option to just rewrite the current OS and not loose any stuff.
|
Try turning off Intel Speedstep and C-State in BIOS.
|
I used to have the same problems and in my case it was because of the drivers on my GPU (radeon HD 4670) on Windows xp. Even after replacing the drivers with opere ones i still had the same prob, so i switched to win 7 and that solved it.. But apparently you are running 7 allready so, i don't know.. It could be software.. If you're lucky..
|
I think your PC needs to see a real doctor aka a tech guy who knows how to repair the problem.
|
@Kuo the tempt is about 48~50degreees when playin SC2
@Ground will do
The problem isnt persistent, but it still worries me
|
you guys think its because its running at 3.2GHz every though its suppose to run at 2.6Ghz and i dont even know how its running at 3.2Ghz

It's called Turbo Boost. It's a feature of i5 and i7 CPUs that kicks in when you're only loading one or two cores. It's certified by Intel when they manufacture the CPU, so it's not normally a reliability risk.

Speedstep, C-State and Turbo boost all have the ability to change your BIOS from within Windows. I know it changes the multiplier, not sure about bus speed and memory timings. There was a KB about this causing some kernel power errors and I believe there was a hotfix. I'm not sure of all the details. My course of action would be to update the BIOS, reinstall Windows and set multiplier, bus speed and timings manually, those are things I always do anyway. Your temperature while slightly high is not high enough to be the issue. If you reinstall use the latest drivers from the website, not the CD. I would be especially concerned that the Chipset driver was buggy or didn't install correctly.
Auto settings have been problematic for as long as I can remember. Your better off researching the correct values for everything and setting it manually. There are several hardware forums that cover this in detail, it should be especially easy to find this for an Asus board.
While memory timings may not be the issue the reason I keep harping on this is because manufacturers don't program their memory to operate at all conceivable timings. Motherboards do not know which timings your memory can run at so using auto is just hoping you get lucky. Granted you usually will get lucky but not always, I prefer to be sure.
