Ok so , since i've built my new comp, i've tried out the game FEAR. The game runs smoothly, no fps lag whatsoever, however randomly the game crashes frequently and basically this is what happens. Turns into blackscreen, my monitor basically isnt' recieving any information so it turns black and the power signal thingy on the monitor turns from a green light to a orange light. Then i see a solid red light on the graphic card. Then i wait about 10 sec and it auto restarts. and then the microsoft error ****** pops up and this is what it says

MORE INFO PLEASE. Please list everything in your system. It sounds like you have a faulty video card, but listing everything helps. Try running DXDIAG and see if the card fails any tests. Does this only happen in FEAR or in any game?

"Auto PCIE mhz, is the worst feature of this board, cause it appears that it just goes anywhere it wants with the frequency, which makes the cards unstable, or in ATI cards case, just plain old not show a screen."

quoted from xtreme forums, not sure if that could be my problem

but my pcie mhz was set to auto and the symptoms fit lol, but now i set it to 100mhz, see if anything improves
