I hope that this is the right forum...wasn't sure.
Helping a buddy (first build for both of us) with a new machine. Everything is put together and seems ok but we've run into a very strange problem. Here is the hardware:
550 Watt Antec TRUE POWER 2.0 Quiet Power Supply
Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe
E6400
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
2048MB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
1024MB eVGA NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7950 GX2
320GB Western Digital WD3200KS 7200rpm SATA/300
The only software currently loaded, other than windows, is WoW.
The system seems stable until he is DONE playing WoW. He can play for as long as he wants with no problems. However, once he is done the cursor starts to flicker and within about 10 minutes the machine does a hard lock up. We actually have to pull the plug in order to shut it down so that we can reboot. Left it overnight and it was fine this morning. As soon as we loaded WoW and ended...bang same thing.
Any ideas what the heck might be going on here?
