Game restarts

Well, I updated with your drivers, and I updated my sound driver, still no luck. Am im not getting anything in the minidump folder.

the voltages reported by the mobo are frequently inaccurate, it looks ok but thats not a guarentee. I had an enermax 480w and I was getting random shutdowns, voltages looked fine but I changed to an antec truepower2 550W and I haven't had a single shutdown since.

There's not much else I can think of in the troubleshooting department bar swapping components out and I would definately start with the PSU. Do you have a friend perhaps with a computer you could borrow the psu from for a day or two?

Have you scanned for Spyware/virus. It might be better to just back up your data and format and reinstall, Then you will know for sure if it was the install.

Ok, sometime this week im going to get a new PSU (even if it dosen't solve the problem I'd rather have a good PSU than the shoddy one I have) I will report back and tell you guys what happens, thank you for all the help. Oh, and yea FlashDude I did reformat and reinstall nd frequently check for spyware, thanks for your input though.

did you do the in-place large ffts torture test for a few hours? if you didnt then do so and keep an eye on the voltages/temps with everest , and if they still look fine then get a dmm just to be 110% sure

adjust to 20 DCV , see these guides

in most modern mobos the sensor is nearly as good as a multimeter, but in some cases the mobo manufacturer software & bios will read it more accurately , and under load they can get much lower..

Well, I haven't got a new power supply, but I was playing WoW and my computer crashed to a screen with a whole bunch of weird colors, it didnt reboot, could this be graphics card?

 

[jeremy]

yeah but could also be a driver/overclocking/psu issue
is the card overclocked?

i suggest youll get a digital multimeter from some local electronic store and measure the psu voltages with it, will cost only 8-14$ , check the guide links in my previous reply

 

[Nirvana728]

I've alredy got one I'll go ahead and test them, and no the cards not overclocked.

 

[Nirvana728]

My voltages are the same when running prime95 and checking everest.

Good readings with the meter.
