Ive sadly run memtest 6 ways from sunday, memory is fine. I wish it were that simple, same goes for windows, configured it as you said a long time ago. No luck.
Actually no, because up until now I never really knew that could be an issue. However, that is my next step. I'm not about to let this build get the best of me.
After a lot of testing and monitoring I have found this freezing issue tends to happen during network usage. Either during an online based game, like MMOs or FPSs, or during times of downloading, especially when using Fileplanets download manager or after downloading several files from one...
I haven't monitored the PSU, but I doubt that is the problem. I'm confident in the quality because I've heard nothing but good things about these power supplies since they've come to market, though I'm sure getting a lemon isn't far from improbable, I would assume I would be having more...
Actually not a bad idea, something I haven't thought about yet, thanks for the advice Heko, though its been so long since I've used Linux I'm a little rough on which distros to try for an easy diagnosis. I'll check around a bit and post findings later. Thanks again.
It's an OCZ Modstream, of which I have two, both the 450w and 550w models, currently the 450 is in this machine, but a 450w PSU, especially of this quality, should be more than enough to handle the Prescott and the 7800GTX.
This is a relatively new build. I'm trying to diagnose the issue but I am finding it more and more difficult to pin-point what the problem is.
The PC freezes/crashes during gameplay of several titles and will even lock-up after sitting idle for several minutes/hours. I have enough experience...
