I don't know if any of you remember my topic, but I had one about my PC being broke. It was suggested either my motherboard or PSU was messed up, and I just got my new motherboard in. It's still messed up. I think it's the GPU this time though, because it goes to BIOS, it installed Windows fine, and everything works nicely. However, the screen will freeze after getting into Windows. I can click around a little bit, then it freezes :(

:mad:

I'm gonna do some more testing, and see if anything else happens. The screen freezing problem is most likely the GPU, right?
 
Have you tested the RAM? Run Memtest for a few hours or overnight and see if any errors pop up. From there you can figure out which stick is going bad or if it's both of them (assuming you have more than one).
 
Well, I ran it for one pass before I sent the motherboard in and it showed it as being fine. I ran Prime95 over night and it didn't have any problems either. I just installed the chipset and nvidia drivers (3rd times the charm, eh?), so maybe that did something.

EDIT:

I forgot I did this, but I upped the voltage on my CPU to 1.4v (it was reading 1.37v). I forgot I did that, but that's whenever it let me install the stuff. Could that have caused the problem? Undervoltage to the CPU?
 
Well, I guess the voltage thing did it. I've played some Morrowind just fine, installed some stuff, ran Prime95 for like an hour and a half. I'm still doing memtest tonight, but I'm pretty sure it's fixed now.
