Title: Anybody else's rigs very sensitive to bumps? Post by: Gazza1 on February 28, 2014, 04:28:14 PM All I have to do is bump any of my rigs ever so slightly and the damn things freeze. Anybody else have this issue? I am wondering what is the cause.
Cards and mobos are screwed down on wooden cases for now. Wooden cases are on metal shelves. No computer parts are touching metal shelving. Risers are all the older ribbon style. I don't think I had this issue when I was using plastic shelving, I can't say for sure though. Title: Re: Anybody else's rigs very sensitive to bumps? Post by: BeepBeep2 on February 28, 2014, 04:43:59 PM Check if the motherboard is flexing any.
I have one PSU here that does this because something is wrong with the 24-pin ATX connector. Also, I've had several motherboards be sensitive to flex (open bench on motherboard box sagging) Title: Re: Anybody else's rigs very sensitive to bumps?

yes the mobos are slightly flexed on the rigs that are sensitive as I didn't have proper spacers at the time. Title: Re: Anybody else's rigs very sensitive to bumps? Post by: ionux on March 01, 2014, 02:45:43 PM I hear they have some cream for sensitive rigs... ;)
