Hi!

I have had this problem for about 2 years now, and have been reading up on it, to get it fixed. Far as I have gathered there seems to be lot of different things that causes this,and I have my own little suspicion that my PSU is not good enough. But before I order a new one, I was wondering if anyone could chime if I am totally wrong(amateur at building computers), or if you have tips to other things I could try.

Background:
I exclusively get this problem when playing graphic intensive games, the higher the graphics the more frequent the problem occurs, there are no other indication of the graphics being set to high other than this either.(no lag, or anything like that.) I have installed and reinstalled the drivers many a time, but to no avail. I did put the graphic card in another computer, and there was no problem at all.

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 Quad Processor i7-960
RAM: Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB, CL9
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX
Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH X58, Socket-1366
PSU: Corsair CX 600W

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

did you ever remove the heat sink from the cpu, clean up and reapply new thermal paste?

did you disassemble the graphics card and do the same..... as well as clear out any dust..??

did you try turning off or uninstalling physx?

did you try under clocking the graphics cards ram and cpu?

sounds more like a heat problem and/or a software conflict.

windows is up to date?

bios is up to date?

ever try and take advantage of the triple channel memory controller?

Thank you for the reply.

I cleaned up and added new thermal paste when I added an extra fan to the cpu(Noctua NH-C14). I have also cleaned the gpu, but it didn't help.

I have disabled physx, it maybe helped a little, not 100% sure though.

Windows is up to date. I haven't tried underclocking, or updated bios. Will try that now.

Don't know what the triple channel memory controller is.

I updated BIOS, that didn't do help, but I downclocked about 20%, and it seems good so far.
Really thank you, for your help:), this has been bothering me for a really long time.

I do think it is a little strange though, that the frequency was to high. It came like that from the store.:??:
