There are youtube video download tools that can be integrated into Firefox/Palemoon that are better than torch browser, plus they dont cause bsods.


i just searched and found a bunch for chrome as well, official extensions. there is a LOT more options than a crappy browser.

This. We all volunteered our time and help, and its because you insist on using a buggy, crap program?

Stop using it!

I understand, so Thats why I already said thanks for everbody's time given.
I just wanted to check it again and confirm, but yes Torch is real NO NO now.

Thanks.

Damn, this problem is occurring again and again........ still no perfect solution.
What I am damn sure about :-

1. It's NOT PSU problem as I checked with another PSU 850W still same issue PC restarts, first one was 450W PSU.
2. It's NOT VIRUS problem as PC restarts even on freshly installed Win 7 OS on SSD 256GB Samsung PRO
3. IT can NOT BE due to HEATING as PC restarts even when I restarts in evening first time .

Most of the time PC also restarted when opening multiple application, downloading multiple files simultaneously.

I need perfect solution, now I am fed up of this

is there any log which can help me know the exact cause of reboot...?

Please help.

Thanks

You're not using that browser again are you?

But looking at the history you've tried the most obvious things (software, RAM and PSU). Could be the motherboard.

Thanks! Good obervation you still know what my previous doings were. To be honest, yes!; I had tried that torch browser when PC did not restart for few days, but then when I formatted again I did not install that Torch browser again and machine still did restart again and again, currently I have not installed torch browser on my PC but still PC does restart.

Can it be SSD? Somewhere down the line I still suspect motherboard but I want to be sure on that as It will take more time in service center to return it to me back.

Thanks,

I checked in google looks like many had such problem of restart with this ASUS motherboard P8Z77-V DELUXE

Update:-
First of all I really don't know what's happening with my system......

What I did yesterday....., I removed whole motherboard from my Antec lanboy Air case and put it on iron plate with studs and connected to my PSU with SSD and 3TB of HDD,
I started downloading random videos...
I ran many application at once.....
I even kept torrents running through out the night with TWO MOVIES playing in "Repeat Mode" for say almost 7 hours but still PC DID NOT restart.

So I don't think or don't know whether it is motherboard's problem.
I always doubted the Lan boy case's wiring doing this restart, not fully sure though.....

I also read some posts by other users having same ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe restart problem..... so I was sure it might be the motherboard but now when I have removed motherboard from case it is working well at least for last 7 hours test which I checked.

I need to know the exact cause behind restart ..., I am tired of this restarts as it disturbs my work.


Thanks.

When you put it on the test bench did you use a different power outlet on the wall. Could be you have a dodgy earth on the outlet you normally use. I've had Kettle flexes go bad as well if your conditions are damp (heavy oxidation on the contacts). Or the wall outlet might have a loose connection internally.

Also what Mussels said :D Take the power switch and reset switch off the header and jump start the system with a screwdriver. (be careful)

It could equally be a shorting case fan.

It'll be a trial and improvement rebuild adding 1 component at a time till you find the faulty one if that is the case.

No, I did not try any different power outlet.
My motherboard has onboard power ON/OFF button.

O.K

I generally go about things differently to most people. From the sounds of your problem you have an intermittent fault and to me it looks like it's something that is grounding out inside the case. Perhaps an internal power cable, perhaps a fan is faulty.

Before you do any searching I want you to do something seemingly unrelated. I want you to take the CPU out of the motherboard and spend at least the time it takes to drink a coffee inspecting the pin arrangement on the motherboard. Those pins are very fine and some of them are related to higher memory addresses. The very first build I did with an LGA based cpu I had a deformed pin that would cause reboots.

So sit, Inspect, And mentally work out if any pin is even a tiny bit out and could be shorting when the CPU is installed.


The next thing I want you to do is to remove all the internal power cables, and inspect them end to end. Your looking for shorts, areas where wire is exposed.

The next thing is to unplug all case fans, all LED lighting strips, Your CD drive, and hard drives. And the front panel header.

Your then going to rebuild the PC component at a time.

Windows Hard drive first. Boot it stress it with a benchmark or similar and see if you can cause a crash.

Then add a second hard drive, Repeat the stress test.

Opitcal drive>
Fans> (turn off fan control run them at 100%)
Light>
Power switch>
Reset switch.

There are a few things that can happen when you do this.

You can find a faulty component off the bat and your problems are gone.

You cannot find the faulty component and it persists as a problem.

You cannot find the problem but the problem vanishes.

The only time you should worry is if the problem persists. It'll be a constant battle looking for the fault. If the problem vanishes and you don't find the problem I always put that down to random conductive objects that have dropped in on components and caused shorts. And if you find a faulty fan or switch those items are easy to replace at a low cost.

I suspect something is warped or warps with heat....
I've had a few mobo's not work in a particular case after having it in the case for months only to have it work in something else without issue....
