Hey all
As some of you may know I've been having problems with my PC.
I recently put this down to a RAM issue as I ran memtest and it returned faults, ive rma'ed this RAM this week, I remove the stick that proved faulty last week and havent had any problems until tonight.
PC has been running fine the past week and abit, no freezes or crashes, no nothing so thought all was well.
That is until tonight, about 45 Minutes ago, while playing CoD4 it froze, when it freezes i lose all interactivity with the system and lose sound, then I get a stutter of sound then nothing and this could remain for like this for maybe a minute or sometimes I have to restart the computer.
I dont think its my temps as both CoreTemp and PC Wizard both report my temperatures being rather low, the only temp that seems to get imo abit high, is the gfc card, at 72 - 74 degrees, but all my system temps seem fine, ive ran Prime95 and the pc has passed the tests, even with prime95 the temperatures remained low.
To make sure i was sending the correct ram back, I memtested all the ram again yesterday morning, all in the same slot one at a time.
So im stuck as to what the problem might actually be, im lost for ideas.
Someone mentioned in an ealier thread of mine that theres a setting in the BIOS i can change so if the system blue screens (which it didnt) I can read the message that comes up.
I also, now look at my dump file but tbh I dont know what am looking for, so tomorrow ill convert the file to text and then post the results here.
I thought I may have had an virus or some other infection, i scanned and round nothing at all.
Tomorrow im going to see if its CoD4, im going to uninstall and then reinstall the game.
Check the dump file.
Run prime again, download and run orthos.
Check my CoreTemp log file to check the temps.
Thats all I can think of, am getting quite annoyed with this now, the system is less than a month old.
Im hoping someone here could give me an idea of what to look for, nothing is overclocked so I know thats not an issue, what i dont understand is, I can have Photoshop open, Windows Media Player open, various webpages open, teamspeak, msn, the F@H client, Xfire and more open and I get no problems, no sluggish behavior and no crashes.
I appreciate any help I recieve.
Thanks
