Okay... Heres the problem..

I got my new athlon 64 system set up about a month an a half ago and it's ran fine since. But these past 2 days it's has been acting up. I'll be right in the middle of a game, and my moniter will shut off, the light that is usually green turns to orange like its in standby mode and the sound from the game makes a urrrrrurrrrrrurrrrr noise very stand. I have to manualy shut off the computer and restart it for it to work. It will work fine until I go to play a game... Whats up? I've noticed my temps are up a bit. My cpu temp use to be 32 idle and sys was 33, now i see them both reach up to 41C idle. I just recently put in my new SATA hard drive but i dont think that would cause it? It does make some weird noises when loading.. Anyways I'm not sure what to do. All I know is my moniter goes blank. Heres a pic of my temps and voltages from a cold boot, are they okay? Like the vcore and stuff.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

thanks
 
Just a suggestion: Check the RAM. I have a very similar setup (same Mobo but A64 3000+) and had to have ram in slots 1 and 3 otherwise my PC would reboot under load. For some reason slots 1,2 didnt work.

Well it woked fine for almost 2 months. It just now started doing this and the ram has been in 1 and 2 since I put it together. So I don't think it could be that could it?
 
Maybe not. Was jus a suggestion. Just that my setup is very similar and I was having the exact same problem (even if you only just started having it). Either way, run memtest and see what comes up.

Looks like you your vidio card drivers have gone bad.
Try downloading a new set and then uninstalling -> reinstalling them.
Otherwise it could be your vidio card may just be overheating and hence causeing the crash.

Luck........ :D

How do I find out if it is? Should I buy a VGA cooler and slap it on there?

I'm a dumb tree... that loves hf!@!$
 
I uninstalled the lastest catalyst drivers and installed the lastest omega drivers and I havent ran into the problem yet, even after gaming all day. Thanks for the help.
