hello all great site this is my first thread thought i would say hi unfortunetly i have a problem hoping someone with great knowlege can help me out. let me start out by saying i have a basic understanding about pcs im no guru lol
what i want to do is tell you my story and maybe you people can come to a conclusion on whats wrong with my pc first off let me just say i traded for this pc and have had nothing but problems with it . what i am experiencing is crashes during games with intense graphics now i get great frame rates no choppyness so im asuming the graphics card is great i have tried multple driver sets with the same outcome so im assuming the crashes are a result in the processor i remember on my old pc that had dual core i got the same things happened and i raised the speed and no more crashes.
is it common for quad core and dual core to crash when running vista also my operating system is vista 64 bit ultimate i did have 8 gigs in the machine took 4 out to see if it would run better.
ok here is the specs i know
processor is intel core 2 quad q6700 @ 2.66 ghz what i dont understand is im looking at the specs with cpu-z and it reads
core speed 1600 mhz
multiplyer 6x
bus speed 266.7 mhz
rated fsb 1066 mhz
whats weird is i have a tool installed called n-tune and the multiplyer is at 10x and sometimes drops to 6x why does it go up and down ? is that whats causing my pc to crash the varriences in the multplyer if it drops to 6 while im playing would that cause the pc to crash or is that normal ? now this pc doesnt have a normal fan on processor i think its zalman it lights up and has a fan control over the processor so overclocking is no problem i just need to know other than raising the fsb from its current 266 i want to raise it to 300 so 300 times 10x would get me 3,0 ghz im sure i could do that no problem but i dont know what else i need to do to make sure that i have covered all the ends. i used a tool made by asus that overclocked from the desktop on my old pc so it was easy this i need to go into bios and i just want to see what you guys think my problem might be. here is a list of other stuff i have
motherboard nvidia 680iLT
bios phoenix technologies LTD
memory ddr2 dual channell 4 gigs corsair cm2x2048-6400c5 800 mhz
videocard nvidea 9800gt 1 gig of gdr3 core bus 600 mhz memory bus 900 mhz
i do run my games at1680 x 1050 resolution hooked up via a dvi cable with a onboard sound card
anyways the current games i play is nba2k9 ,mlb2k9, farcry2, arma assault, mlb front office manager,crysis,brother in arms hells highway,
those games all crash nba2k9 not as often ,the mlb frontoffice very rare, mlb every other game, crysis alot arma assault everytime at some point lol
thanks to all who try to help in advance.
