Ok, here's the scoop. This week I've been over clocking my computer and tweaking. Its running like a spotted ape. Last night I extremely over clocked to get 6500 3DMark2006 scores. I'm more stable at 9% o'clocked at 5800. So I left it there. Core temps only around 37 degrees C so very nice (but I have a ton of fans in my computer, kinda noisy). As I finish up I shut down the computer happy and content at my technical prowess. I crawl into bed and snuggle up to the woman and let her know once again I'm the man. A good minute goes by and I'm starting to dose off. JUST THEN
VROOM!, the computer starts booting up. I sit up and say WTF!
Candace sits up and says without missing a beat. "I'm Scared Dave" <--very funny and I luagh for a good 30 seconds as it was a perfect 2001 space odesey quote at a great time. She lays back down adn says go make peace with HAL and make him turn off. Problem is I can't. HAL IS PISSED OFF! I appologive for over working him but HE WILL NOT DIE! Sometimes he'd stay shut off for 30 seconds, sometimes 2 minutes or so. But eventually he'd reboot. No errors and I can't figure it out. So after the last shut down I pull the power chord from the wall and yell, "COME BACK NOW MF'er"
I talked to Dirge this morning and he mentioned something about wake on LAN and that my router may be making it come back on so I'll check that in the BIOS when I get home. So from here on out I'm calling my rig, HAL 9000.
