My system seems to hate me or something. I cannot play a game of Call of Duty or Doom 3 without the machine locking up. I believe it could be a cooling issue as right at this moment my idle temp is pretty damn high at 48 degrees C. I have no panels on my machine at all and the 'System" temp is 32 degrees. I am running the stock HSF from Intel on it. Am I just thinking wrong or is my CPU just running hotter than it needs to be?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I feel your pain.mine is not a prescott, its a 3.0c Northwood I can run the BOINC Seti #home client all day long and it runs fine, Load Doom 3 or COD and crash! I originally thought it might be an audio issue which it very well may be but I would think it would happen more often like in other games..I guess its time to reformat, reseat the processor with some artic silver and see what happens..
