ASUS p5n32-SLI DELUXE crashes when playing

[soeddy]

Hi people its me again, my problem is that every time i play games for more than 1-2 minutes the pc crashes, Image stops and Sound as well.
I had an 6800GT, then I changed to a XFX7800GTX both had this problem.
Both grafics are OK, I tryed them in another PC and they work.

I'm using a singlecore CPU so my pc vendor sayed that it wouldn't use the 8pin so I'm only powering 4pins, because my PSU only has the 24pin and 4 pin connectors.

PSU - Q-tec 650W triple fan
CPU - P4 3.2Ghz
Grafic - xfx7800GTX 256mb
Ram - 1Gb kingston + 512mb Corsair
Hdds - 2x250Gb WD + 80gb and 160gb Seagate

run memtest, could be a RAM issue

not to mention that you have an strange RAM configuration, have to checked to see if both modules are compatible with your motherboard?

its also possible that you have set your RAM timings too fast for one of the modules (eg if the 1GB kingston runs at 2-2-2-5, and the 512mb module runs at 2-3-2-6, and you are running both at 2-2-2-5, then you will get problems!!!)

again, try testing your RAM with the aforementioned software and let us know

for a quick test, try testing with just the 1gb stick

then try the 512mb stick on its own

if one of these allows you to play fine, then you have your culprit!!!

if this doesn't work, then there are plenty of other possibilities i could mention but I'll let others go into that because I don't wanna write an essay
