hello, i have core 2 duo 8400, asus p5kc, gf 8800 gts (gigabyte), a-data 2gb ram.i bought pc just few days ago and played games like WoW or neverwinternights 2.however, today my computer started to freeze when i am in game (but in windows do not freeze, or when i am playing counter-strike,...).it seems it started to freeze only when i am running some new games, which need a lot of performance.i havent done any overclocking or any new updates, anything.just started pc today and the games started to freeze.i can not do alt+tab, nothing...simply reset, go back to game, play 5 minutes and all over again.do you have any idea?
i have new forceware 169, installed chipeset p35 etc. please, help me
what kinda power supply do you have? Did you buy it separately, or did it come with the case? Post the power supply name (and everything you can find on it for that matter) and we'll go from there.
I had a similar problem some weeks ago and i changed my power supply and got a new fan for my cpu, its been almost 2 and a half weeks and no freezing and i play crysis and cod4. Another thing you can try is to geta program like drivercleaner pro and uninstall your chipset and video card drivers and reinstall them.
great amperages on the 12 rail, and a tier 3 psu to boot. If you can nab something even better on the tier 2/1 list. Go for it...Just base it off where you live and what prices you can get. I found it very difficult to get any info on that eurocase 5410, all the sites were foreign, so you're probably not in the states?
Also head over to http://www.memtest.org/ . Download a prebuilt iso or the floppy version and run it, just change your boot priority to your cd rom drive via the bios. Let it run..
chances are, it's your PSU..You have some power hardware in your rig, and you NEVER want to couple that with a cheap **** PSU...If that PSU blows (from the cheap components), it can take your entire rig with it, not a worthy investment. Try to nab a new psu, it should fix your problems, but if it is your memory, run the memtest app I spoke of, and let it run for a few passes to see if your memory is reporting errors.
It doesn't matter really if you are told. Considering that you stated it was a eurocase psu, it came with your case. Almost all PSU's that come with cases are crap...They are very low quality and not worth the money. Your best bet, would be to nab a new psu. But first, run memtest, and follow what everyone has advised. If it's not your PSU...that's great..But that still doesn't change the fact it's not a quality PSU. When it comes to a powersupply, watts aren't the most important thing, It's a combination of watts, amperages, and quality. You could go about and buy a 200 dollar PSU that has 1000 watts and 90 amps on the 12 rail, but if it doesn't use quality parts, it's still a crappy psu.
Please don't take any offense to this, just trying to inform you the differences in the PSU world. If you follow that Tiered list I posted in my previous post, it will guide you to a quality unit. But first run memtest, and see if your memory is reporting errors, and bump up the fanspped via rivatuner as evilonigiri stated. If the memory reports no errors, and the increase in fan speed doesn't help, then it's 100% your PSU.

He is right. Most case supplied PSU's are crap. The best ones I have come across are the ones that come with Thermaltakes cases which are their own PSU's. They are pretty nice or at least my old 420w PSU that came with my XaserIII lasted me 5 years. I just replaced it for the hell of it with a 550w Rosewill PSU.
and how to check that fan speed through rivatuner?and how to increase?i went to "power user" and do not know what next.i can go nvidia fan with binaryfanspeedcontrol and minfanspeedlimit, or current device with fan speed0-2, or just nvidia fan etc. Oo
oh, i followed http://www.vaguesoft.com/users/dwo [...] tuner/#fan and made it until AUTOMATIC FAN CONTROL and saw a strage thing: core clock shared domain (it is until 1500)-that thing i have at 1674 with yellow triangle with "!".does it mean anything?

No, that means it's off the charts. Just change the upper limit around.
As for your 8800GTS 512MB, did you enable support by adding "600h" to "G92=" in the config?
