Re: Supermicro X7DA8 - Stability probs

The other Xeon system has an Antec 500w - switched it over to the problem board and got the same results.

On another note - i´ve found two caps next to the ram modules that the ESR meter tested bad - in circuit - at least their reading was different from all the other caps in the board. Next step is to test them out of the board.

Re: Supermicro X7DA8 - Stability probs

I've mostly ruled out the PSU - since i´ve tried another known working PSU from another Xeon system.

Re: Supermicro X7DA8 - Stability probs

Old PSU was a FSP GROUP FX700-GLN (700W)
New one is a Gigabyte Superb 720W

Hi First post here but I´m an avid reader of these forums.

I´ve got an Supermicro X7DA8 board with 2x Xeon 5160´s - that´s been running unstable ever since I replaced the PSU (the old one blew) and I´ve been using Everest and Prime95 stability tests to stress the board. I´ve tested two separate PSU´s with the same results.

The symptoms are:

1. Board unstable after some running time - about 10 mins (no overheating issues/abnormal temps) - no errors when stressing directly after cold boot.
2. Errors only appear in Everest when stressing...
