I'm currently in the process of troubleshooting a problem on my computer. The problem is, it will randomly restart, particularly while doing something intense (gaming), but not necessarily. I swapped the PSU and the problem persisted, so I'm trying to check my CPU/RAM.
The problem I'm having is that the memtest 7.0 free for USB is taking an extremely long time to boot, and to run. This is particularly obvious when it counts down "seconds," each of which last in the ballpark of 10 minutes. This wouldn't be a problem, except that I can't stand around watching the test for the many hours it takes, and the couple of times I've tried it it eventually restarts. I'm not sure if this is because of a hangup in the program, or if it's the underlying hardware issue. When it restarts during a run, it always includes these lines before it does so:
- Attempting to retrieve the root directory of the data partition.
- Found 2 handles that supported SimpleFileSystem
- Checking handle 0 (D25FDF9
- Handle is own partition
- Checking handle 1 (D25FDC9
- HD node found: MBR type(2), Signature type(2), Part #(2), Start LBA(10444, Num Sectors(202719)
- Self node: MBR type(2), Signature type(2), Part #(1), Start LBA(204, Num Sectors(100353)
My system:
CPU: i5-2500K CPU 3.3GHZ
MOBO: gigabyte lga 1155 intel b75
GPU: ASUS Strix GTX970
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB )
Boot drive: OCZ 128GB Vertex 4
