Is my GPU too good for my RAM's frequency or is my mobo too old?

[EduarGmez15]

So I upgraded my gpu 2 weeks ago, and I've been getting crashes with black screen and sound looping. I have thought that my gpu might just be too powerfull for the super-low frequency of my RAM but it could be my old mobo instead. Could you guys help me in this matter? Here's my specs:

GPU: Gigabyte HD 6770 1Gb VRAM
RAM: 2gb 333mhz DDR2
Motherboard: Asrock 945gcm-s

Thanks in advance!

What is the wattage of your power supply?

 

[EduarGmez15]

I'll give the full model:

Thermaltake Tr2 500W

What processor are you using?

 

[EduarGmez15]

It's a Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.80 Ghz overclocked @ 3.09Ghz. Also I forgot to mention this only happens when playing games. Even old ones like half-life 2.

is it overheating?

 

[EduarGmez15]

Nope, none of them gets near overeheating while playing games. Not even with Skyrim. The Card doesn't get past 60°C and the cpu doesn't get past 42° C. Also tried underclocking the cpu to default speed and didn't work. The crash doesn't have a period of time. It sometimes happens after 15 min of gaming, and sometimes I can play all day without crashes. Also checked my pc for malware and didn't find a thing.

Have you tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling?

 

[EduarGmez15]

Well, kinda. I updated the driver yesterday and it didn't work. I forgot to erase the previous one before installing, is that a bad thing? of course the crash was happening before the update that isn't the reason.

try removing all display drivers in ur device manager and restart then reinstall it , if it still does teh same do a stress test and run memtest on ur rams...also check ur hard disk and ur sata cables....

 

[EduarGmez15]

Ok. What do you mean about checking the hard disk? You mean checking if the cables are put?

 

[EduarGmez15]

Done. Checked cables, uninstalled and updated to Beta drivers. Been playing for over 4 hours and haven't had any crashes. It seems like it got fixed! Thanks guys!

Edit: Forgot to mention... A cable was a little bit out of place wich might have been the cause of all this.
