i think ive narrowed it down to the mother board cause my onboard video keeps messing up when playing video with latest drivers installed

 

[patonb]

I'd try your PSU in a freinds system. Or get a DMM, Digital Multimeter, and check your line voltages.

Theres plenty of how toos on google and youtube.

Its still possibly your psu, but hmm, and yor dump files are random, so usually either RAM or something like your mobo.

If you've noticed, I like to check everything before spending money.

 

[Desolation]

ive got another psu i could try but its only a 400 watt so i dont know if it would be enough and i dont really have any friends with nice computer small town. im just gonna replace parts cause my buddy is gonna pay me for my old parts cause they work fine when your not putting a load on em

i did have random voltage spikes and drops when i had pc probe installed but ignored them cause i seen a few people say its a suxy program and gives false readings

 

[patonb]

Don't run the 5770 and it should be fine with the 400W.

 

[Desolation]

i was running it on the other power supply and it ran fine for about a month with no problems but then when i got my new power supply and put it in (even before i was oc a bit) it didn't have any issues till after i put my 5770 in it started messing up so its probably my power supply and its still messing up even when not oc

im still rma the video card just to be sure

and im gonna pick up a new power supply

 

[patonb]

What brand of psu is the 600W? Also give the watts per 12V rail. its on the side of the psu.

 

[Desolation]

its an ultra X4 an its 444 watts on 12v rail with 37 Amps im gonna pick up a corsair power supply in a few days and rma the video card

 

[patonb]

Yha, Should asked the make straight away..... thats not quite enough i think to power the system with the 5770.
