BSODs PSU maybe?

[ray4389]

Ok I have a feeling I may have a PSU issue...but im not sure.

When playign HL2 or BF2 I get BSODs

Not only that but sometimes in say HL2 It just closes the program and says I had a memory read error or sumthin.

On BF2 like I'll be playing for say 30min or sumthin and it just closes. No error just closes.

Back the the BSODs. Sometimes it gives me an error sayign sumthin about the nv4disp.dll or it just gives me a generic memory error.

I have 2 different company RAM sticks (Kingston and Samsung). I get the errors even when I run just one of them.

My setup isn't too easy on energy....6800nu, 2 HDs, 2 cd drives, 3200+....., soundcard, floppy drive, memory card reader....

I know my PSU must be underpowered cause I have to run a 1.725 V-core and a 2.8v Ram setting to keep the system from randomly BSODing.

Sound liek the PSU or is that just me?

350 antec not enough?

No tears.

nv4disp.dll is related to your video card or drivers. Search, nv4disp.dll , for more on the topic.

For your ram, test with:
http://www.memtest.org/

Start there.

Edit: and yes the PSU is a little anemic for your needs.

I've tested with memtest and it checks out well. I did 3 tests:
1. Both RAM modules in
2. Samsung only
2. Kingston only

All check OK

I'm currently lookign for a BIOs update, but for some reason I could neveer get the ASUS Bios updater to work correctly on my comp. I went to the ASUS website and it isn't cooperating....so I can't get the updated BIOs.

I still think it could be the power. I'm going to run a recording of my voltages and read the grpah and see when the BSODs occur....probably at a spike down in energy during gaming.

I read the graph and nothing too unusual looking. I think the BIOs is fuxored.

First off my v-core is set for 1.725 and it is reading my current v-core at 1.744 and ti drops to 1.728 at times.

My 12v line is reading 12.28 which is a little higher than I would expect since I think the graphics card isn't getting enough power during games.

Everything else should be irrelevant.
