Have you run any testing software to find out what part of your system is failing or not setup right?

testing software? no. any suggestions on software i can use?

Memtest86, Prime95 are 2 good ones to test memory and processor. Once you see if those are stable for say 8 hrs without errors you then look into maybe a hard drive issue or driver issue. Now some people say you should be able to find out if there is errors in less time then running for that long. I just like to be 100% sure before I move on to other testing.

In my personal systems I make sure they run stable for 24 hrs before I move on being they run 24/7.

hi ahnilated, thank you for the reply. I already solved this one, my gpu is faulty, i already went ahead and get it replaced.
