I have a vista 64 x2 dual core 6400+
4g memory
ATI 2600xt video card
ECS Z780gm-a motherboard
All my problems started when i upgraded to the new hardware listed above and vista 64
I have all the most recent drivers for everything.
I have continual crashes when i play games. I play world of warcraft and my daughter plays spore. We cant even play either game for 15 minutes without it crashing. Most of the crashes just freeze up the game we are playing and we can get back to desktop to close the game and restart. Occasionally the crash will produce the Blue screen of death and restart the system.
I have worked with Blizzard tech support for a while and they seemed to think it was some sort of resource conflict with the sound or video card, but even disabling the onboard sound and buying a new sound card didnt fix the problem.
I saw on this forum that someone suggested getting Orthos stress test and see what happens. When i run it on Any of the tests it will fail after about 6-30 seconds of testing. Orthos just says to consult the stress txt file, but i cant seem to find one.
Can someone please tell me whats going on here....
Here is the latest round of Orthos test results.
