Hi all,
I have had one of my systems running smooth and very stable for a few weeks, the specs are below. Tonight, while playing Unreal tournament, I was kicked back to windows desktop and then comp froze. I have run all kinds of benchmarks in the last 2 weeks and I have played games with absolutely not one problem. So I thought this might be some freak thing. So I restarted my comp and tried again. After a few minutes the same thing happened. now I get sporadic general protection faults, lockups, and thrown back to windows! What the h#$* could be happening? I have not had a problem in the last 2 weeks since putting my system together. The only thing that has changed in the system is the new Network card I put in 2 days ago. I dont think this is the problem because, Comp was working fine after nic installation up intill a few hours ago. I am just puzzled. Anyone have any ideas??
