Is your vid card mounted correctley. That is push all the way down on Mobo? What OS are you using?

 

[Durge]

I was using Windows XP Professional if thats what you mean. Yeah the 9800 is pushed all the way down, im using the latest ATI Radeon driver 3.6 i think.

was just wondering what your cpu temps are and are you overclocking anything?

Also try disableing dual channel...just test that out

So easy to fry yet tastes so good...

No i didnt overclock anything, with a volcano 11 it was running about 37 degrees C. I was just trying to rule out hardware before formatting again and reloading XP onto the cpu.

once you reinstall windows run prime95...see if you get any errors...if so then try running yor memory in single channel
