I wasn't sure where to put this so I put it here.
I want to leave Windows and move to Linux but I don't want to reformat my entire drive. I have a 1TB hard drive. Couldn't I make a two partitions, one called D:/ to store my Windows files and the other E:/ to install Linux? That way, I can...
I narrowed it down to a bad RAM slot or the computer is just being bottlenecked. I assume with BSOD that it is more so the slot than being bottlenecked. I would like to thank everyone for their help and input that they had to offer.
Well, I didn't try a different PSU but I did manage to narrow it to the RAM. I thought it might be bottlenecking the CPU or GPU so I took two sticks out to run on 8GB. After that, the crashes disappeared! Now, I am testing to see if it is a bad stick or one of the slots on the motherboard...
I have run memtest86+ quite a few times for close to 10 hours, if not that time. It ran perfect each time. The crashes only apply to gaming. Normal tasks or even extended run times have no problems. I will try Prime95 again but that held for around 5 hours with no problems last time. As for...
Sorry for reviving a somewhat old thread but crashing has started again. I cleaned the entire computer out and made sure all connections where good. I also used CCleaner to clean the registry which helped some but it still continues to crash. Should I try using a different PSU?
I just played about 30 minutes worth before my class started now. I didn't suffer any crashes. I will try playing longer later.
Also, I fixed League Of Legends crashing. I just re-downloaded it.
I just re-installed Windows because I was able to borrow an external hard drive from a friend. I'll give the games some tests in a little bit. If they still crash, I will run Furmark.
@broncosaddict I have tried lowering the settings before. I have set them to bare basics and they still crashed.
So I ran 3D Mark as Tsuyoi asked. I believed it passed because it ran all of the tests.
Here are the results if they open properly: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2277026
Alright, I got two new games Crysis and Skyrim. Both of them crashed also. I completely wiped my ATI graphic drivers and reinstalled them directly from the sight. They still crash. :(
I used the Samsung software for the hard-drive since mine is Samsung.
I used ATI Tool for the GPU and Prime95 for the CPU.
I can try reformatting and reinstalling the OS but I will need to get an external drive first.
As an extra note, this is actually the second time the OS was installed.
Will do. I'm running the scans now. So far it has been three hours on CPU and GPU. No errors so far and hard drive is normal. I have run MemTest before and there had been no errors.
Sorry it took awhile to reply. I have been busy with school work.
Hello, this is my first post here.
Anyways, I have been scouring the interwebs for a few months now for answers. My new computer that I built over the summer doesn't like to play games. My specs are in the sig. It's all perfectly capable of running games but every time I play, it always crashes...
