Helped a friend upgrade a few components on his computer, processor, memory, and motherboard (graphics cards stayed the same, 880GT's) and we are having problems with games no... Battlefront II will crash to desktop whenever we try to launch a game, Portal II through Steam will launch and instantly crash to desktop.... I took my 460GTX and put it in his machine and same problem... This will happen with either card, he has two.
Just ran Unigine to see if the computer was even capable of 3D output and it ran for a few minutes without a problem. We also can stream videos and tv shows without a problem too.
Memory isn't a cause, I took a stick of mine and used that as the only stick in the system (still crashed). Motherboard shouldn't be a problem, I used it as with almost the same setup he does except different GPU and memory. Extra CPU cores were unlocked and also reset to normal and this problem still persisted.
Anyone else have any suggestions? Kind of stumped...
