I have been running this computer for about 3 weeks now at 265 Fsb 1:1 and dont have a problem with passing a day of the prime 95torture test or a loop or 10 of 3d mark 2003 so I assumed the system was stable. Yesterdat I installed my first game though Homeworld 2 and it froze after 10 minutes. After the reboot winxp said it was related to the Radeon. I returned the Radeon to stock settings crashed again.
Installed 2 more games, splintercell and engigma rising tide and more computer freezes after 5 - 15 minutes.
Finaly I reduced the FSB to 260. I am now passing the prime 95 torture test on 1.575 Vcore instead of 1.625Vcore but still I crash out in games on both voltages. At 250Fsb I dont crash out anymore in games I havent tried settings between 250 and 260 yet. I don't quite know what to think of it anyone have suggestions on things to try to remove this stability problem ?
