That's your problem right there. Take out that same RAM stick, polish/clean the connections and refit it. Check that it and the adjacent ones are seated correctly. If that does not sort it repeat with the other RAM sticks.
PC randomly shuts down
the MB is optimised for triple channel RAM (i.e. 3 sticks or 6 sticks) and at the time i fitted a triple channel kit consisting of 3 x 8gb sticks.RealReasonHead wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019Also, 24 GB? 3x8? Maybe Reason has an issue with 3 RAM sticks? Dunno, poking around in the dark a bit here.
no BSOD but it does reboot by itself. haven't noticed and messages about power surging
only that i removed and put back a stick of RAM so i could check brand and type (as mentioned before).diminished wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019Have you changed anything recently regarding the hardware?
Is you power supply delivering enough juice for your system?
yes, celcius. i don't know how CoreTemp works, but i've been using it for years and it's been great and in the early days i would confirm using my hand to placed by the exhaust fan not scientific i know but the temperature of the air coming out has always been in like with what is reported.EnochLight wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019I'm guessing that's 40 celsius? Your CPU does not have any thermal monitoring tech, according to its spec page:

exactly. i left my PC on last night and have not launched Reason since and have had no issues. my PC sometimes goes for days under full load so it's not heat related. it's right next to me so i'd know if CoreTemp wasn't reporting right.EnochLight wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019It's possible it's a software issue somewhere, as the OP claims he has no other issues running any other software, even with his CPU/GPU maxed out doing rendering. Just strange that Reason seems to be his trigger when it's allegedly not maxing out his CPU/GPU.
the MB is optimised for triple channel so should be used with either 3 (recommended) or 6 sticks for optimum use.

i thought the same but i've not had any issues since i closed Reason (pc left on overnight and i've been using it all morning).
i'd like to get to the bottom of this as of the DAWs i've tried out Reason is the one i get along most with.

OK, so audio card drivers - what's your interface and what drivers are you using? Maybe that's the cause? Finally, turn off Hyperthreading in Reason.

reluctantly i held off on using Reason and have had my PC on the whole time and have been using it for other tasks without issue, so there must be a conflict somewhere.EnochLight wrote: ↑20 Nov 2019OK, so audio card drivers - what's your interface and what drivers are you using?

audio interface is as basic as it gets for now - onboard sound and computer keys. i'll update the MB sound drivers as they've never been updated.
regarding Hyperthreading - is that a known issue? i need that for other software...
thanks to everyone for your help by the way

You misunderstand - turn off Hyperthreading in Reason, not on your PC’s motherboard or anything. When you’re running Reason, in Reason’s preferences, un-check the use Hyperrthreading option.
It’s just a shot in the dark. On some machines - especially older - turning of HT in Reason helps performance. If you don’t notice a difference, then clearly that’s not the issue.
