Random Crashes

[Cheex]

I am have some random crashes on my system.
Mostly it happens while i'm playing games.
It just crashes out to the desktop or it crashes the machine and reboots.
I was browsing just a while ago and it crashed and rebooted.
I just changed my video card from a 6600GT to the X850XT.
That's not the problem though because it was happening with the old card also.

So...

I figure it must be something else, maybe mobo, cpu, ram or hard drive.
I've had this setup for only 2 weeks now.
The video card for just a few days.
Any idea what it could be? HELP!!

my opinion?

this looks like a driver/directx problem try to reinstall them?
is it always happening in the same game?

maybe i'm wrong, but hey, just trying to help.

I can tell you this item is in question as to its true potential.
If thats not your problem then I would suspect a driver issue or a overheating problem.
Do you have anything to monitor your temps?
You could also run your ram with relaxed timings & see what happens.
& NO!!!! running memtest with tight timings (like so many dumba$$es) & getting errors does not necessarily mean your RAM is bad,,, it just means your RAM wont work reliably with tight timings.

Try setting the command rate to 2T(in BIOS). That motherboard doesn't like a 1T command rate. GL

Although the BIOS offers a 1T Command Rate, we never could get this setting absolutely stable without drastically raising the memory latency settings.

In our test, we set the RAM to DDR2-533 at CAS 3, 3-3-8, 1T for P5W DH and ConRoeXFire-eSATA2. We can only run 2T on the 775Dual-VSTA, 1T is not too stable.

I've checked out everything.
My PSU is causing the problem.

Whenever my comp is under any kind of load it crashes because...
12V 1 = 14A
12V 2 = 15A

525W PSU (came with the case) but its lame....gotta change that.

Any suggestions?

I dont know anywhere in Ja. that sells decent PSU's or high end cases so you better try overseas USA.

I buy at Newegg through a courier so its no problem.

I, again, did my research...and have come up with a good PSU i think.
I like the silver one better than the black (its cheaper too).

Anyone of those will do the job.
Actually I just got mine (the black one) yesterday.
Rosewill does not make those they just brandname the product but they are fairly good PSU's.
I have 7 of them without any issues.
