Can you list your system specifications? It's impossible to help if we don't know what hardware you have.

What specific memory do you have? Also, have you completely disabled the onboard graphics since you are using the 8400?

Well does any one have any help???

I need the COMPLETE part number of your memory. List all of the information from the sticker on the modules.

Based on what you have posted, the issue seems as if it is heat or power related and not related to the memory. Do you have any way to test the components another system?

Also, you have attached your post to end of another outdated thread. You may want to go to the Hexus General section and start your own thread there so that your post is not overlooked.

ok i have added a 650w power supply and still am having the freezing in game, Please can anyone help me?

[Yellowbeard]

It seems as if you are narrowing it down. It could be the CPU or the MOBO also. Did you start a thread in the General Help section so that more users can see your post?

[jackbauer]

actually i have the corsair 650 watt PSU

Another area is if you have overclocked the PCI bus, this gives random lockups as well, even when running tests like 3dMark pass OK but then play the likes of COH it will lock.

Tried Resetting the CMOS?

Is always worth a try for issues such as this.

You could always try different/spare sticks of ram or another psu if you have one!
