OK last few weeks I have been fighting a system crash issue. All I can really say is what isnt cauing it. Here are some stats
Mobo = Abit AW8-MAX "settings to default"
CPU = P4 2.8g Smithfield HT "it is unOCed to firgure out what the prob is"
Ram = 4 sticks 512 OCZ Gold "Stock volt atm"
VidCard = BFG Gforce 7800 OC "UnOCed"
Sound = onboard
HDD = 2x250gig WD SATA1 on stripe raid
Cooling = Robust water cooling see sig for details.
What happens is when I play a game say for example , City Of Villans. It could take 30min to 2hr sometimes but it will crash atleast 2 times every night within 4hrs. A more intence game like HalfLife2 with all the settings on high will crash in under 10 min. Now the odd thing is they have a new demo called HalfLife2 Lost Coast. At first try I got to walk around and it crashed in 5 min. Second try I turn on the commentary and it crashed in 30seconds. CPU temp and GPU temp never go above 38c under full load. So far I have tride swapping ram sticks , Putting more fans on some of the hotspots of my rig , system maint like defrag and disk check , and few other minor things. The bios is up to date and so is uGuru. Only backround program is Zonr Alarm but it gets shut off for testing. Now I know thats not near enuff info to solve some sort of problem like this but a little advice will go along way . Thanks in advance. Will be doing lots of that for a wile
