I have been having an intermittant shut-down problem for some time. I have
an Asus a8n-e motherboard w a leadtek 6600gt video card, one wd sata 160g
system drive, one wd ide 90g drive for video storage, an amd64 3000, 1g
crucial memory, 100mg zip drive, plextor 712a sata dvd running winxp sp2. On
rare occasions (sometimes three or four months between instances) the
sytsem will shutdown spontaneously. When this happens, i lose all power to
the system and immediately after shutting down the ups warning light and
alarm kick-in. Upon rebooting the computer functions with no apparant
problems.
This does not appear to be associated with temprature and when I reboot
system temps generally are in the 40 degree range. Also in recent months I
have replaced just about everything on the computer including the power
supply. I went from the antec 400w power supply supplied with the original
case to a truepower 430.
Actually the only components still remaining in the system from the original
a7nx-e build are the ram, the computer case and the ups backup--a conexant.
Also went from win 2000 to xp with the new build. I have checked the ram
with memtest several times with no reported problems. I have attempted to
contact conexant via e-mail on several occasions but have never received any
form of response from them.
Any assistance in diagnosing this problem would be greatly appreciated.
