I have had my PC running for just on a year now. I never get BSOD or sudden reboots etc. It has been running ok during that time.
I do have one wierd problem with games though. It does not happen with all games but every now and again I will install a game that will crash on me as I try to play it. The common fault is that it is always the exe that causes the problem. So for example I cannot play dirt 2. When I run dirt 2 at various points in the game such as the press enter screen, at the start of a race etc the game will crash. After the crash I will get a pop up that says "dirt2 executable has stopped repsonding". It is genuine copy of the dirt2. I have had a few games do this on me. Always the error message is that the exe has stopped repsonding. I have put it down to the games or windows in the past but now I am not so sure.
My specs are
I7 2600k (at stock speed at the moment)
Asus P8P67 pro (first model with latest BIOS installed).
8 GB G Skill Ripjaw ram
GTX 580
GTS 450 (for physics)
ASUS Xonar D2X
1 TB hard drive
DVD writer
Blue ray writer
Coolermaster 800w silent gold power supply.
So far I have tried
Different BIOS
Different drivers
Taking the overclock off and resetting the bios
Running a full test on the hard drive.
Testing the memory
Reinstalling windows
Disconnecting the ASUS sound card and using onboard sound.
Earlier today I took both graphics cards out and tested them on their own.
With the 450 on its own in either PCIe slot dirt 2 runs ok.
With the 580 on its own in either PCIe slot dirt 2 crashes with the exe error message.
Would you say the 580 is faulty or could it still be a weird PC issue with the motherboard or PSU?
I am going to change the motherboard when the new chipset boards come out in a couple of months. I have never rated my ASUS P8P67 Pro motherboard.
As I have said apart from some games crashing the PC runs perfect. No BSOD, sudden reboots etc. When a game crashes it is always the same problem. It’s always an error message about the exe not repsonding regardless of which game it was that crashed.
Anybody any ideas?
