The CPU could be overheating, it seems less drastic than other suggestions. | |

I have had this problem b4 is a panel of the case removed for some reason ? If so your case proberly has intrusion detection and thats why the comp is shutting down. As strange as it sounds lol Just a thought | |

The system automatically reads the size of the first DIMM and records it as the largest. If a smaller DIMM were put in the first bank, the system would read it as the largest and might fail to recognize or use the additional memory capacity of the DIMMs placed in the subsequent banks. | |

not necessarily, check your motherboard capacitors see if one of them has either exploded or started to bulge / leak at the top, alternatively it could be the CPU, it's not a RAM related issue as the check during the POST / BIOS startup would report an error, it's 9/10 motherboard, but also *could* be the cpu. | |

Its to do with the Ram (random Acces Memory) I'd say, Try a different dimm if U have 1, or if they are 2 different sizes the bigest 1 should be in the first bank cause that could cause it to crash 2! | |

has anyone opened up the case for any reason? sounds like it could be to do with jumpers, but i dont know why anyone would change them - possibility though | |

is it a new computer that you have built? If so try swapping some parts oevr one at a time to try and find the problem. I had a similar problem and it took me a while and some logic to identify the problem | |
