yeah, get a real PSU. xD

I bet this is happening when the system begins load... the CPU speeds up and everything jerks into action.

I am an AMD person but if i was to get a computer RIGHT now, I would get an Intel simply because they are better, and i agree with the rest get a bigger psu. btw thats a nice rig he has there

That result picture just goes to show you how much power two GPUs can pull.

With heavy OC voltages, C2d, single GTX, 1 HDD, 1 PCI E, 2 SDRAM sticks, a single pump internal LCS, single pump external LCS and DVD drive with nothing else you'd be looking at about 450-480 watts.


That result up above has not even half of that and is well over 500.

Benchmark Scores It does boot up? I think.
1. Bad OS installation

If it was a power issue the symptom would NOT be a slow down. Insufficient power or unstable voltage causes a reboot.
maybe the c2d hiccup effect?
No such thing exists.

You got some power hungry accesories since the main components would never go above 300W...

hook a multimeter up tp a rail and see for yourself. during heavy load keep an eye on your 12V rail etc, if it drops very low, psu cant take the load

Pertaining to the problem at hand largon may be right. However, the reason why a stick of ram, a hdd, etc. is not working correctly, may infact be due to the PSU not supplying sufficient power to those devices. Plus the GX2 sucks up a lot of power. So first, go with largon, check your memory, hdd's, etc with appropriate software (memtest, etc.). Personally I would replace the PSU with something a little better anyways, the system should have more than that Hiper 520 gives it.

first i want to thank you all for your comments,
well after some pc component stress test(the miss pac-man and space invanters is power hungry games for my brother)it might be a faulty sata cable ....


p.s. that was something i was never gonna believe well getting older is also getting wiser
p.s.2 the c2d hiccup does exist

I've got reason to believe it doesn't.

My c2duo has no hiccup. ;)

If theres a "repeatable" hiccup, it would affect all CPU's in which it most certainly does not.


Not to mention every dell laptop we use at work doesn't have any issue.

Though largon is right, that PSU calculator is a bit... extreme. :roll:

Oh well, I've only used three different C2D CPUs within the time it's been on the market so maybe I've been lucky enough to have never experience any "hickups" if you mean it's like stuttering or something alike.
What do you mean by it, btw?

c2d hickup does exist i have see it on a friends mac powerbook and sometimes on some c2d as a hickup i mean that when you alt-tab from a resource hog program it freeze for almost a sec thought i have see it on the amd x2 platform as well,
i hope phenom doesn't have it



p.s. it might be my idea but my friend with the mac also have noticing it.

Any computer does that, as it tries to reallocate it's resources to a new task. It usually means it's getting into the page file. Solution = more ram.

That's what the web program says. That's not what my results show me :0)

Other people calling something "core 2 duo hiccups" doesn't mean its a "bug" or "problem" in any way, 99% of forums are unofficial, and 99% are user error. ;)
