Hi guys
Decided to build myself a new PC, after having been without a proper gaming rig for some time.
The specs of my new PC are:
Gigabyte P35-DS3 mainboard (rev 2.1)
C2D E8200
2x 1GB Kingston HyperX DDR2-1066 RAM sticks
Point of view 8800 GT 512MB EXO edition (factory overclocked) Here
2x 320GB Seagate Barracuda SATA 2 drives (for RAID 1)
Coolermaster Elite 330 chassis with CM eXtreme Power 460W PSU
Vista Home Premium
The problem I'm having with it is that fairly often the screen goes blank for a few seconds, after which I get told 'Nvlddmkm has stopped responding...'. Now more recently, it'll do that a few times in a loop before giving me a BSOD about the fact the display couldn't be reset, etc. I have also had 1x BSOD to do with 'MEMORY_CONFIGURATION'
I have also noticed, when I turn the PC on, that at the BIOS level I'm getting these random, white dotted lines going vertically down the screen.
This stuff is only 2 days old, so I'm not going to be chuffed if anything is faulty
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Can anyone see a problem with the configuration of the PC as it is?
I hope someone can help me
