I've run into a issue I've never encountered before with my system or any for that matter. So I'm looking for suggestions.
System Specifications are as follows...
ASUS P8P67 EVO: (Bios 1204; all default except; disabled JMicro/Marvel/Serial & Ram Timings)
Intel Core i7-2600K (stock)
Thermaltake Frio Cooler
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 1600 F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH (7-8-7-24)
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB (In Sata6)
EVGA GTX 580 (stock)
SeaSonic X650 Gold 650W
Fresh Win7 install with all the drivers Gary has posted. Nothing is missing in Management. In Win7 Power Scheme I've disabled everything. I've installed the KB979444 hotfix.
Ok now my issue:
If I leave my system idle downloading any large file 5g+ it freezes after 2 hours & 38 mins like clockwork and full USB power down. It can be downloading from HTTP, from my network, from Steam anywhere.
Now if I leave it idle without a download going NP 24 hour + up time consistently. If I leave it idle with any program running NP no freeze (as long as it isn't a DL of a sort).
What I've tried:
1) I've auto'd the memory timings ( 9-9-9-24 1333hrz)
2) I've tried both lan ports while disabling the other
3) I've tried disabling c1 c3 c6 speedstep & PLL
4) Prime95 Torture test 12hrs NP
5) Mem+ Test NP
6) CoreTemp reports about 44c under full load
7) Disabled all Win7 power save features
8) And I'm sure I've tried other things I just can't remember.
What I can do:
I've installed some apps to see what I can do and I can run I.E. an MMO, Pandora, Browser, Steam (downloading), Mumble (active), Vent (active) & HTTP DL while accessing a network resource indefinitely & consistently 12 hours+ NP.
But...
If I shut all those programs down and let the system idle with HTTP, NETWORK, Steam download going in 2 hours and 38 mins like clock work freeze with full USB power down.
Now I know the obvious answer to my problem is just to keep something else running with my programs but that is unacceptable and this error is annoying me. I would really like to get around to OC'ing this CPU but I want stability first. So any suggestion you smart guys and gals have for me please let me know and thank you for your time.
