Ok, I'm trying to figure out if this is a cause of my Video Card or if its something else that is causing the issue.
Mobo:
eVGA 680i SLI (122-CK-NF68)
CPU:
Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo E6700
Memory:
4 x 1GB of DDR2 800Mhz Patriot Extreme LL (4-4-4-12) PC6400
VideoCard:
BFG 7950GT
I've got my CPU running at 3.25ghz stable... have not yet touched the factory settings on my Ram modules. And I have my Video Card running at (Core 608mhz, Mem 797mhz).
Now, this lock up issue has always happened even when the vid card was not overclocked. I've noticed that it always happens within the first few minutes of playing a very graphic heavy game while the Video card ram switches from the 797mhz to 1244mhz. During this time its not just the Frames that lock up, its the entire system. If I'm playing a racing game I don't have to worry about running into anything because the whole system completely stops, even the sound starts looping till it goes back into normal play. I do not see any artifacts and my system did run stability tests on the GPU giving it a passing score. My question is, is this a driver issue or possibly be because my ram has not been overclocked yet.. any seggestions?
