I was running Futuremark's 3DMark06 Benchmarking software yesterday. During a specific Graphics Test ('Deep Freeze'), my system would just restart! I ran the test again, and my system restarted again! Please note, that the restart occurs at the same moment in the test everytime I run it. Also, the frame rate at the time of crash is about 32-33 I think, which is not too bad....I have tried closing all other applications, and everything, and still I get the same result....the temperature is pretty much normal too...CPU: 39*, PWR: 40*, Chipset: 42*....

The card I am using is eVGA Geforce 7900GT...

Would could be the cause for this ?
 
Sorry, saw it in your sig. Try using the nVIDIA temperature monitor to see if your getting a flux at the time you start the test. It might be going up, up, then *crash*...?
 
Isn't this a well known issue with 3dm06 and the 7900GTs?

Google "7900GT deep freeze"
 
yeah i researched on it....and yes, deep freeze in fact does have an issue with 7900GT cards in general...especially with the overclocked editions (like the one I have :( )......

I have noticed that while playing some games, I see weird stuff happening, like slightly distorted graphics in the games...

for example, if I play Doom 3 at max video settings for like 15 minutes, the graphics start flickering a little, and become a little distorted at places, etc....

i dont know what this is all about...
