Brand new comp, wierd with games : (

[dseg]

If I play Rift for about a hour it will freeze and if I play Battlefield BC2 for about a hour it will restart the whole computer. Now I've read a lot about overheating and that is not the problem. The 570 gets to about 82C but I know they can go a lot higher before problems and my processor never gets above 42C. I also read a lot about the PSU but I have a really good one so I do not think this is the problem. I have four sticks of RAM, should I take two out becuase maybe a stick is bad? Are there any video card benchmarks to test my video card? My 570 came superclocked, should I turn it down to normal settings? I turned off Auto-Restart for my computer to try to see the BSOD, maybe that could help me with my problem but doubt it.

Any help is appreciated.

Here are my specs:
Asus 1155 Deluxe
EVGA Geforce 570 Superclocked
G Skill 16GB (1600)
Corsair AX1200w
Intel i7-2600k
Haf X Case

I would try and tune down your graphics card a bit just in case it wasn't stable at the clocks it was at after some use.

 

[dseg]

I checked the clocks and they are correct, they are at the overclocked settings. Should I clock that down to what a standard 570 is suppose to be then?
Is there an error log that tells me why it was restarted? If so, where is it?

reliability history. type that in the start menu bar

Are there any good RAM tests that I can run that do not require me burning it onto a CD? i dont have any CDs lol

Take all sticks of ram out the system,
put one stick in at a time and try to boot up, if any stick is causing problems it should show up.
remember to try any 'problem' sticks in other memory slots as well tho, as it may be your slot thats the problem.

If I had a bad stick out of four, would it allow me to boot up and only cause a problem when I play a game?

So I should boot the system with one stock in DIMM A1, then try another in A2, then B1 then B2.
Will it boot if the stick is bad or should I run a test?

Test running two sticks of memory at a time.. Sometimes motherboards do not like all the memory banks being filled..

Will it boot with just one stick?

 

[Emperus]

Sure it will, given both the stick and the slot are without any issues..

 

[dseg]

If one stick was bad out of four, would it boot and play games for a hour?> Then reboot after about a hour of playing becuase a stick is bad, is it even worth testing the ram?

I ran memtest86 and it got to 30% on the first pass and the computer restarted. So I tried again it got to 70% on the first pass and restarted... Went to BOIS and my RAM was at 9-9-9-28 @ 1.6v, I changed it to 9-9-9-25 @ 1.5v (that's what it says on the stick). I ran memtest again with no errors for a full first pass. I will leave it on while I am at work tomorrow to leave it running for 12 hours. How many hours should I be running? Is that too much?

What ram do you actually have and what are the specs on it.
Most of it is 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5v. As a basis unless its higher speed memory

 

[Emperus]

Running any test for that long in unnecessary and waste of power.. Better run some real world applications (like games) after you get back from work.. Testing and fun both combined..

I ran memtest all night and this is what I got. Is it suppose to be like this?

They were all on auto and was giving 9-9-9-28-2 @ 1.6xx volts

Thats weird as the spec for that ram says 9-9-9-24 1.5 v
Try running mem test at the 9-9-9-24 1.5 and see what you get.
Even the spec from newegg says 9-9-9-24 1.5v

I ran memtest with those timings, my comp kept restarting when I was running memtest with the other settings. I change my settings but instead of restarting, I get that picture above.

I would test one stick at a time and see what mem test says then . Just to see if maybe one is bad.
