Hello, I wish you posted in the correct subsection. Download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?d53ohzo1ec6bxmw and run the tool as admin, attach the produced archive.
Yes. It looks to me like you're having a problem with your BIOS. First thing I'd recommend doing is taking out the CMOS battery (no 3 here http://www.intel.com/content/www/us...ard-dh55pj-interactive-layout-demo-video.html ) and see if that changes anything.
Have you removed the battery without placing it back? You should test temperatures. Download this http://damage.vigilantesoftware.com/ and this http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ Start both applications for 5 to 10 minutes, then create a screenshot of the core temp window, by simply pressing the F9 key. Now download this http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ Run the burn in test for 10 minutes and create a screenshot of the main window, attach the images here.
should i run core damage and core temperature at the same time ?! like should i start it at the exact same time .... ?!
Yes, both at the same time. Those are rather high core temperatures, you should open up the case and check the CPU cooler, it's probably very dirty. - Remove the heatsink and clean all the dust deposit from both the cooler and the ventilator. - Clean all traces of thermal grease and apply a new layer. Even if you don't have any grease, it's better not to apply a fresh coating then to have a dried out layer - Reseat the cooler carefully and fasten it securely This video covers many of the important steps
No if it was the bios it would not be working for 10 hours then restarting i think the problem is you are working it to hard. Try shutting it down for 30min every 5 hours or using a speed control program to boost your fans
@mkey dint work still havin problem !! @bommer : right now doin that so it does nt restart xD and i found out 1 of my ram slots is faulty !!
