I built a new system back in February and have encountered alot of difficulty with it. I have finally got most of it worked out but have now experienced yet another problem.
When playing 3D heavy games for any length of time I start to notice graphical errors. Black jagged triangles shoot all over the screen. They get worse the longer I allow the game to run.
At first I thought it was a heat problem, the system has always ran hot but never enough to cause serious concern.
Temps will hit 145 for the CPU and 160 for the MoBo but quickly cool down after I am done with a game session. All of my components stay well under slowdown/shutdown temps so I am ok there.
But after one bout of this problem I opened my Asus probe utility and discovered an error.
My +3.3V was off and the audio alarm sounding. The voltage was down around 2.6-2.7 V
After several minutes it would creep back up to 3.2 and 3.3V
So now I have some questions.
What is 3.3V and what does it do?
Is this my problem?
How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help
