alright, I have no clue what to start looking at tbh...

Here's my build

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=24670548

I'm running a push/pull on my heatsink.

The temps on my computer with no real load on it are :

Core 1 to 4 : 39C to 41C
GPU 1 : 39C
GPU2 : 53C (This is what's running my moniter)

Loads are :

(Total ranges from 8 to 15%)

RAM : 19%
CPU 1: 17%
CPU 2: 0%
CPU 3: 15%
CPU 4: 1%
CPU 5: 10%
CPU 6: 0%
CPU 7: 30%
CPU 8: 0%

GPU 1 GPU Clock Usage : 8%
Gpu 1 Memory Clock : 4%
GPU 1 Fan Speed Usage : 35%

GPU 2 GPU Clock Usage : 4%
Gpu 2 Memory Clock : 2%
GPU 2 Fan Speed Usage : 41%
(Why is it so hot??)

HDD Setup : Two sets of RAID 1, with the 500 GB setting off by itself.

in any case, I experience some freezes during games (windows 7 64 bit might be the cause i reckon.), but what really ticks me off is that when i play Battlefield 2 : Bad Company on highest settings. It plays perfectly smooth, and then BLAM. my computer shuts down and restarts. NO OC applied. I bumped up my ram power up just a hair to prevent stability (as alot of people said about this particular ram)

Is it overheating maybe? Or do you reckon my PSU isn't powerful enough (I can't see that happening tbh... its 850w)

Another thing that irks me is that when it turns on it shuts down and restarts once, then starts normally. I don't know if I fked up on startup or what...


I'm running memtest86, 3dmark, and prime95 right now to see if anything gives me good info.


Edit :

using Prime95, 100% load on all of my cores, the average temp seems to be about 65 to 68C (running very smooth still)

Edit 2:

Crashed after about 10 minutes. Never peaked over 70C. Starting to suspect a mobo issue. Tweaks imminent i bet rofl.

Edit 3 :

Crashed again after 3 minutes on prime... No power loss at all. Mobo doesn't lose power, all LEDS and fans stay on, Heat doesnt peak over 68. Hm.
