About a week ago i bought parts for a new computer from Newegg and some other places and put it together. It seemed to be running ok but when i play games it would crash every hour or so. I thought there might have been a problem with some of the components (or maybe i might have plugged something in incorrectly?). Anyways, i had done some research on overclocking and decided to try running Prime 95 and SuperPi, both of which would return an error after less than 2 minutes. Is it possible that the motherboard or ram is defective??
List of parts:
CPU - AMD 64 3800+ Orleans
MB - Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
Video Card - eVGA GeForce 7600GT
RAM - 2 x 1 GB Corsair XMS DDR2-800
Case - Antec Sonata II w/ 450 Watt Power Supply
I have tried plugging in only 1 stick of ram and the result is the same so i am thinking that the motherboard is the problem, but im still very unsure since the computer still runs ok 99% of the time.
Thanks in advance to any help you could give me.
