Hi, I have a Dell XPS 435MT with i7 920 processor, 6gb ram, 2x OCZ 30GB SSD - raid 0, and had a GTX 295, and Corsair 750 watt PSU... What would happen is while playing a game (or something CPU intensive) later on while the CPU heats up, the game starts to studder... then gets worse and worse and will eventually get a BSOD - didn't pay attention but they were different here and there...
Note this would happen only on a COLD bootup, i would simply restart the computer and everything would be fine and I can play any game and stress the CPU/GPU... This happens while going from a COLD bootup directly to a game. I didn't test out letting the CPU run for a while then playing a game but it's definitely there on a cold bootup...
one BSOD I was able to get was "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor"
I have all the latest drivers, bios, firmware for all my devices and continually update everything...
I also tried disabling hyper threading, turbo boost, - and whatever else little options there were in the Dell BIOS.... and nothing changed...
Thinking it was the GPU, I upgraded to a GTX 580 (which is amazing BTW), and still get the BSOD...
Reading forums, people say that this is a CPU hardware failure? any thoughts? ONLY happens on cold bootup and a restart going right back into game solves the issue...
I'd hate to have to run heaven benchmark and let it crash everytime i start the computer up for the day just to get it started...
Even games like COD will studder and crash with the BSOD...
If it's possible for the CPU to be faulty, I am actually already thinking about buying a new MB(for overclocking) and if so, they got CPU bundles I might as well pursue... Any one else having such issues?
