Hey guys,
Just got my parts for my new build in last night, and managed to install windows 7 64 bit after minimal trouble... but now I have problems opening and running certain programs and I have no idea why.
Last night I downloaded and installed firefox successfully. I cannot run firefox for more than 30 seconds before the whole system crashes (no BSOD or error message)
Same thing happens when I run futuremark- the second the test starts, the system crashes with no BS (I can see the fuzzy circle from the test screen for all of 2 seconds before crashing)
It's hard to reproduce this problem any other way, but every time I open those programs the system crashes.
I've been thinking its a video card problem, but other than updating the drivers (which I've done) I don't know what to try
Also, I've tried running stress tests (everest and memtest) on one and both sticks of RAM. So far, unless I run those programs, the system is fine...
here's my specs:
i3 2100
asus P8P67 LE
g.skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
XFX HD6870
samsung HD103SJ 1gb
ocz gameXstream 600w
