How old is your 5970?
Do you have any overclocks on any of the parts?

thanks for the reply my vga is for 3 years ago and yes i have overclocked bothe cpu and vga but i'm runing the system as default optimize but there is still the problrm

Reply to amin_ld

The gpu may be on it's last legs from the sound of your issue or that psu is giving up.
Do you have a spare psu laying around of decent quality and at least 600watts to test?

How did you overclock your cpu?
By multi or the B-clk?

i was using a 1500w power before and i'm using the 600w now for the first days there was no problem and i overclocked the cpu by bios and it reached to 4993 mhz but now that it's set to the 3.4 ghz i'm still having the problem

Reply to amin_ld

and i was ocerclocked the gpu too and now it's set to default and i was using the overvolt tool too

Reply to amin_ld

You could have overheated you gpu or it may just be dying...

i can test a more powerfull power but i was using the 600w and i gived 200w to cpu by bios in the time iwas overclocking it and that was working good but now cpu spends just 120 w power

Reply to amin_ld

Hmmm seems like the 600w psu is not up to the heavy task then pal.

ADA64 for psu testing, check 12volt readings.
Furmark for gpu testing for 10mins.
Prime 95 for cpu testing for 1 hour.

thanks a lot i'll use this softwares to test hardwares but how i can be sure the problem is from the hardware (blue screen?

Reply to amin_ld

where in the aida i can test the power?

Reply to amin_ld

is there possible a virus can do this?

Reply to amin_ld

Give us the voltage readings that Aida says, also do what recon says and run those programs, keep an eye on temps.
