This is kind of a repost of my previous thread located Here
It seems I am continuing to have problems. I have upgraded my RAM to 8GB, and tried multiple other 4GB sticks, seems that RAM is not the problem. I upgraded my power supply to something much beefier and more expensive, that didn't help either.
What will happen is randomly the driver will stop responding. Sometimes it recovers, sometimes I have to hit the reset button. It seems to happen mostly when I start to type something on Chrome and the suggested answers pops up. This will cause the problem to happen. Also happens when I try starting up Battlefield 2: Bad Company. If I successfully get into the game it doesn't happen anymore. I can play for hours and hours without any issues, it's only when it starts up.
It almost seems to be like a "warming up" problem. First time I start the computer, it will have issues. After using it for a while, the problems stop. Because of this, I don't really turn my computer off anymore. But I am doing a lot of electrical work around the house recently, so I've had to shut it off.
I've tried re-installing drivers, and even the OS. I used driver sweeper every time, as recommended in the previous thread. I've updated the bios, no luck.
Anyone have similar problems? Sounds like it could be a legitimate hardware problem =(. This means I may have to return motherboard/video card. I hate going without a computer for more than a few days.
Here's my setup:
MB: Biostar A770E3
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840
Video: XFX HD685XZNFC Radeon HD 6850
Memory: Patriot G Series Sector 5 Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB)
