Specs:
Asus P5N-E SLI mobo
Intel Q6600 Quad Core Processor
4X1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 260GTX (EVGA)
630W PSU (Raidmax Volcano)
570 GB HDD (2X Western Digital, 250 IDE, 320 SATA)
Windows XP 32-bit
I've been having countless problems with my rig lately. Most recently, I had an overheating video card that I THOUGHT was crashing my computer. I've just now upgraded, but I'm still experiencing crashes.
They appear to only occur when I boot a game. Only on a very rare occasion will it crash during basic use (internet and whatnot). However, I have tried playing Crysis (to play on my new card), and it starts and plays just fine. Right before it goes out I get a bluescreen flashed at me very quickly, and it proceeds to restart. On reboot I'm presented with "Windows has recovered from a serious error" message.
I have noticed a bit of a correlation, though. Apps I run off of my SATA hard drive appear to crash. While nothing usually happens on the IDE.
My temps are relatively hot, but have decreased dramatically with my new card.
Could this be a power problem? I find it weird that Crysis would run perfectly it it was due to the PSU... Any ideas? Thanks!
