Hi, another problem here and you guys were so useful last time that I thought I would ask again (If you don't remember my last post "No Boot, No Post. ).
Lets start,
My Computer:
Athlon 64 3200+
2 gig Roswell/Crucial DDR 400
EVGA 7800GT ( link to product page ) (Newest Drivers installed)
Winfast NF4UK8AA motherboard. ( link to product page )
Ok well when I bought a new motherboard recently (check my previous post) I thought I might as well upgrade other things, so I bought a new videocard, another gig of ram, a new power supply, and a new fan, as well as my new motherboard.
Well Newegg gets me everything in a timely manner, and I assemble the computer. So everything is working great until I decide to run a game.
PROBLEM:
IGNRORE ALL THIS. When I try to run some games on this computer, it runs for about 20 minutes then I see for about a half second the blue screen. Then my computer restarts. (This was a game specific bug! Sorry.)
(THIS IS MY PROBLEM!) At the start of this it used to just hard lock, the game would start slowly err... slowing down, then just lock. I would have to manually restart. This is what it still does to all my other games...
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
My computer runs just fine for days without going into games. So this of course led me to believe my videocard was bad, but after testing another videocard that proved not the case.
Other things I have tested,
Memory - I have run multiple memorytest86 passes (4 tests 6 passes each time). It appears the memory is fine. (I have also tested it by running my computer with every stick taken out)
Power supply - I have tested to see how constant the current is, and also have replaced it with a different one, no change.
Hard drives - Not really sure how to test these, but each of my hard drives has an OS on it, so I have taken both out at separate times and no change.
CPU - I don't think it is my CPU even though it was my second choice after videocard. To test the CPU I ran Prime95 (on Maximum heat test) for multiple hours and no problems or anything, also ran SuperPi and everything seemed fine there.
Temperatures - I have a program logging all my temperatures, but in the logs I can find nothing that would suggest its due to heat. For example, the last blue screen, my cpu was at 41 celsius, my system 39, and my gpu 46.
So that would leave my motherboard right? Well I have no idea how to test a motherboard. Bios is set pretty normal, and has been updated to the newest version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Levi Nelson
EDIT: (Added the blue)
Also I was wondering if I were to take my cpu out and test another, would I have to reapply the artic silver compound?
