Hey Guys
I need some ideas here, first my Spec
Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66, running stock.
4gigs DDR2-800 Transcend Ram, 2 x 2Gig Chips
Gigabyte GA-G31m-ES2C
ATI Sapphire 4770 512mb GPU
470watt PSU,
2 x 500Gig HDD
1 x 1.5Tb HDD
1 x DVD-Writer
Ok here is my problem, in most cases, when im playing a game, my pc will freeze at random spots. Eg: New Medal of Honour, sometimes 2 mins in, sometimes 15 mins in etc. Completely random, but i dont get BSOD's, or errors, or anything, eventually the monitor just goes on standby. Here is where I am confused, if i run a more intense game such as Metro 2033 in DX10, i dont get any freezing up. Run Hawx in DX9 and i can play a bit. If i run it under DX10, random freezing.
I have run memtest, no problem on ram,
Ran Hard Drive testers, nothing wrong
Run 3Dmark Vantage, and on the CPU test it freezes, but it cant be CPU
run SISoft Sandra, and it freezes out on the GPGPU tests!!!
Tried re-installing O/S and still the same thing happens.
Flashed the BIOS, still didnt help.
But as soon as i leave the PC on idle, its fine, or do basic work on it.
Could it be the motherboard, or PSU, thinking of changing the Mobo.
I have teste basically everything and am at a loss of what more to do?? Please help everyone. Im losing out on the gaming, and it is annoying.
Thanks Guys
