I am by no means an expert but I thought I knew enough to put together a new PC. ofcourse I don't, and the system is unstable (freezes up when trying to run memory hungry games). The system is made up of:
Processor(new): Core i5 750 LGA 1156
Motherboard(new): GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD4 LGA 1156
RAM: 2x 2gig DDR3 (in slots 1&3)
HardDrive(3yrs old): samsung SATA 3gb/s 250gig (in SATA2_0 slot running in IDE mode in BIOS)
DVD(3yrs): SonyDVD/RW in serialcable connection (not SATA)
PSU(3yrs): 600w ATX (has more than enough correct connectors for system components)
I am thinking the problem is either my PSU has lost efficiency and so cannot handle the loads, or the Gygabyte BIOS system default settings are wrong for the system (I have left it as it is apart from turning on the 64bit mode whilst installing windows 7 64bit). maybe voltage setting for RAM/processor clock speeds?
As mentioned I am no expert and not sure how/if I should change any settings or get a new PSU?
Any tips/advise welcome!
Phil
