Hi there,

my computer pretty consistently crashes at certain intervals - occasionally after first switching it on, and while running certain intensive programs (yet other intensive programs run fine.)

It will hang, and then either freeze, or attempt to restart. Occasionally when I try to turn it on, it hangs at the windows loading screen for Windows 7, but the sounds for windows starting and my programs loading play, implying that the computer has got there, but the display isn't following.

I've run a full Memtest, with no issues or errors at all.

I've run furmark 3 times, and it crashed one of those times.

Below are links to 2 minidumps, the first caused randomly, the second while running an intensive game.

Any help? I'm prepared to buy new hardware, but I can only really afford one upgrade at the moment, so I want to track down the problem.

EDIT: My hardware specs are-
Gigabyte X58-USB3 motherboard
Nvidea GTX 570
OCZ 120GB hard drive
Generic 2TB hard drive
Intel i7 950
 
what hardware is in your system it help us to know the parts in your rig. start with the mb make sure there no bios updates.
if your motherboard has onboard video you may be having gpu or power issues and the video falling over to the onboard video port. low power on a power supply leg will cause hangs or bad stick of ram or a hard drive that going bad. download hardware monitor look at your temps and the power supply voltages. make sure the 12v leg holding. download hdtune read the drive smart info post it up here to see if there any yellow or red warnings.

Hi there;

I've run Hardware Monitor, temps are all fine though I'm uncertain of what I'm looking at voltage-wise. What should I be looking for?

I've run a hd test and SMART test, and all is a-ok it seems (Though my secondary hard drive has massively slowed down over the last couple months, thus I will likely have to replace it soon I suppose.)

As I said I've run memtest86 with no issue and no reported problems.

I'll have a look into my BIOS version and see if I can flash a new version if there's any problems.
