It's the weirdest thing. This rig is a few years old and has been great. But here lately I am having issues. I will get the BSOD at the drop of a hat (display driver timeout, recovery failure). After disabling crossfire and uninstalling all display drivers and installing some older ones, I've reduced the BSOD. But the system will hang! But if I tap the desk, it will unhang!!! Damndest thing.
I am thinking it's a problem with seating. Or dust. Perhaps my motherboard has shifted overtime due to heat and my cards have worked loose? Or perhaps it's dust?
It could be anything. But knowing that tapping the side of the tower immediately unfreezes the system should be telling. At least I hope. I really need to upgrade. It's more about laziness than the money. I dread building another rig - such a headache.
But for now, I would like to work this out if at all possible.
Thanks,
Sam
