So, here is yet another topic about the well known issue packed 790i chipset.
I am making this topic because I have failed in finding an answer and I have for example never had any freezes whatsoever.
The problem I have, and share with quite a few it seems, is games crashing.
When I'm playing a game I sometimes, not very frequent, experience an intense moment of lag, followed by a crash. It is almost like the game is trying to load/handle something huge and very requiring but falls short. I then get a windows pop-up saying the game has stopped working and asking me if I want to close it down. Twice, while playing cod5, such a crash actually resulted in the entire computer crashing.
I have done a lot of testing to try to find a working setup but so far no luck. Most of the testing has been concerning my memories, due to the fact I have never gotten past 45sec without getting errors in memtest64. Everything else is fine, its only in games I occasionally crash.
The setup Im running is the following:
Windows 7
XFX nForce 790i Ultra SLI
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550, 2833 MHz (8.5 x 333)
3x OCZ XTC Platinum 1333Mhz 2Gb
XFX GTX 275 670Mhz
Voltages and timing settings are on auto. Nothing is OC'ed so I didn't feel the need to change anything.
If there's any additional information you need to wrap your head around this issue just let me know. It would be awsome to fix this issue since it is rather annoying playing games like Assassin's Creed only to have the game crash in the middle of a mission. I've redone countless of missions because of that.
