Recently bought components to build my own rig, (for the first time).
CPU: Intel E6600 2.4GHz
GPU: 512MB Gainward GF7900 GS
H/D: 320GB Samsung SATA2
MOBO: ASUS P5N32 SLI Premium
RAM: Corsair Twin X 2GB DDR2
P/S: 600W SEASONIC
Everything seemed to go together as it should, all drivers installed without any problems and windows is running fine, but im having issues with a couple of things. As i quit Battle field 2 back to windows i get a system failure, as if it hasn't quite shut down the game properly, i also get the occasional major glitch while playing on line. The same problem arose when i tried to run the free download of 3Dmark 06. The system crashed out near the end, without giving any score, just a mixed up screen flashing on and off.... Also a rapidly rising blood pressure i might add!!!!
Thought i had a driver issue, so as the system had barely anything on it i decided to start over, reformat the drive, re-install windows and all drivers.. No problems arose, although i didn't try 3dmark again. A couple of weeks on and bf2 is still a bit glitchy on line, maybe my connection or servers not really sure. But i have run into the same system crash, this time on the game F.E.A.R by sierra studios. Although this may be a demanding game on max settings, with my system speck, i thought it would be able to handle all of this without a problem.....
Could this be down to faulty hardware, an issue with the compatibility of components or something else??????
Sorry, if i have gone on a bit.
A bit of a newbie at forums and the like.
Any help would be much appreciated.....
