So back in july my dog drooled all over my video card while it was in my computer (side panel was being machined) and ever since then I have been having some major issues. The card turned out not to be fried after I cleaned it with alcohol so I had been using it for a while.
My problem is that i cant play a game for more than an hour without my comp violently crashing. It will usually distort the display and will always shoot out a piercing audio loop. I have been dealing with this for a while and I am getting really frustrated.
I did many fresh installs of 64but windows and have now switched back to 32bit and the problem persists. I have flashed my bios and ran multiple versions of drivers to no avail. My 2 raptors were making very loud seeking noises so I RMAed them thinking the files were getting corrupted but that didn't do anything.
I pulled out my ram to check it and my dimm2 module has three nodes that are burned and it had some sort of corrosion on it. So i thought i found my problem but I cleaned the ram and I ran memtest for 6 rounds and I torture tested for 12 hours with no problems!
So naturally i thought it was my video card that my dog drooled on but this has proven not to be the case as I have RMAed it twice (the first one gave me a code 10). The second one turned out to be good as far as i can tell but the really weird thing is, is that i couldnt run SLI now that I have the new video card. So i pulled the burned stick of ram and presto I can run SLI. weird? But now with one gig of ram and either of my video cards in either PCIe slot it still crashes after 30minutes to an hour
I tested my power supply and it checked out fine. All my connections are right and all my temps that i can check are well within the green.
The only things I can think of is that something on the mobo went bad? or I have a temp problem somewhere that I can't check. It only freezes after doing video intensive processes for more than 30 minutes so that seems logical but how do I figure out what is doing it?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
