ok this problem has been wrecking my brain and i cant understand what the problem is so any help would be much appreciated.
Problem was that my pc would crash when playing css and i would get a random coloured screen up be it white/green/red/ect it was always random and i could do nothin but hard reset comp. to get round this i could turn the fan up to 100% and it would be fine untill lately it started happening so i thought it was just a cooling issue because i was sitting bout 80 odd degrees C. I bought a new fan for my gfx card which was great and idles at 50 easily but now my comp crashes within minutes of starting up which rules out cooling surely? i have the Nvidia 8800GTX btw. So i thought fine ill just put my old card back in till i sort something out but no! soon as i put my nvidia 7600 gt in my screen just freezes in minutes of starting up now so this makes me wonder if its a gfx issue or something else? i get no time to do anything now on my comp because it just crashes after about 2 mins. I have now made my comp worse because of trying to fix a small problem.
My spec is:
* Monitor: 19" viewsonic wide screen
* Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 AM2 Motherboard RoHS
* Processor: AMD Athlon 64 AM2 X2 Dual Core 6000
* Memory: OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8000C5 1000MHz ReaperX HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2
* Graphics Card: Nvidia 8800 GTX
* Sound Card: Creative SB X-Fi
* Hard Drive: samsung 120 gig one
* PSU: Coolermaster Real Power 1000w Modular Power Supply
All values are stock and i have overclocked anything. Any help or advice would be so much appreciated.
