Heya,
Just probing around for some help with this issue
I was playing through a bunch of games out of boredom, and about halfway through Bloodrayne 2 my computer decided to start rebooting randomly during games, sometimes just crashing to desktop.
My Setup:
Abit NF7-S
Mobile 2600+ @ 3200+
2x256 PC4000 Kingston HyperX
SB Audigy
Enermax 435wat PSU
Radeon 9600+ Pro with Aftermarket heat sink, non overclocked
This now occurs in all games I play.
Eve, Battlefield 2, GTA San Andreas, Rome-Total War, Area 51 and BloodRayne 2
I believe its not a heat issue, as I have a Vantec Tornado 92mm on a big arsed copper thermalright heat sink, with a brand new vantec orb on the northbridge. The Tornado is on a controller and even jacked up to max after a fresh reboot the issue can occur within 5 seconds. MBM doesnt show a CPU temp over 47c ever, case around 27c
Just reboots mostly, anywhere from 5 seconds to a few minutes into any of the games. Sometimes crashes to desktop instead. I havent a clue if its video, but ive updated video drivers and problem still occurs, maybe even more, though that could just be my imagination. And ive never heard of a driver failing on EVERY game Could be sound, updated those drivers as well. Done spyware/virusscan, no luck. Fairly sure its not the power supply, as it never happens at other times. Tried lowering the overclock from 200x11 to 200x10 @ 1.65 and the pc wont even boot.. its either 100x6 or 200x11
could be ram even, I am going to run memtest overnight to check that out.. but it only happens during graphics/sound-intensive things, have yet to see it on any other load-heavy programs. Will check Prime95 anyway.
Only modification ive done recently is the old northbridge fan died, so I tried going without it (heard people had success with that on my board, with similar overclocks), but it rebooted a few times, so I got a Vantec Orb, and believe I set it on properly. Will also try resetting that if nothing else works.
