Hi my name is Baz, this is my first post lol.
OK this has been a total nightmare of a month.I ordered a custom build from a company call custompc.ie.
These are the specs:
OS. windows, 7 ultimate 64bit.
Processer, I7 950
RAM 8GB, 2GB stick DDR3 PC 3-10660
Motherboard, ASUS P6T Deluxe.
PSU, 900W EVO
Graphic card, ATI 5970 2GB
Sound card, ASUS Xonar DS
OK originally I had a GTX 480 Nvidia card in there and windows7 home premuim. So I would start my game and get a crash within 10 minutes, the screen would go black with the game playing in the background, sometimes I would have to do a hard restart to get it going, or sometimes it would let me bring up the task manager and close the application, the game is arma 2 OA, and I've also tried Napoleon Total War too, they are all on Steam, so I have tried C.O.H and thats the same, at first i though it was the card because a window would pop up saying driver has stopped responding but has now recovered. But because i have tried 4 other cards in there ATI and Nvidia it cant be the card.
so my friend had a look and he did a complete reinstall of windows and formated the Hardrive, then manually went in and updated the drivers for the motherboard and the Graphic card, sound card, everything, still same crashes. lol then he looked at the ram and went into the BIOS and changed the settings as per the manufactuer, still nothing we also checked the temps of the graphics card and processor and they are all fine too, lol we are lost as to what it could be. ive spent about 3000 on it lol and still it crashes man i cant even sleep right lol. The funny thing is I had taken out part of the tower case to fit in the 5970 so now I cant RMA the build! So I now have 2 questions....
1. Can anyone help me with this issue?
2. If I was to change a component to stop this issue, what would it be?
