Ok, So important stats on my comp...
Athlon XP 2800+
Evercool Monster Cooler D9TB
Asus A7N8X deluxe
Maxtor 60gig 7200
1 gig corsair 400
Antec TruePower 550w
Sapphire Radeon 9600 256mb
3 case fans
front panel custom led lighting (5v line)
Here's the deal. I orig had other parts, and have constantly tried upgrading piece by piece to get certain games to run stable. I have the biggest problem with Enemy Territory.
CPU temp flucuates from 37c idle to 47c when gaming
Motherboard flucuates from 21c to 27c when gaming
Voltage:
12v line goes from 11.968 to 12.032
5v line goes from 4.892 to 4.945
3v line goes from 3.264 to 3.328
VCore goes from 1.664 to 1.712
(as per asus probe utility)
But no matter what I try, i'm guaranteed to lock up (vid freezes and audio plays 2 sec loop) where I either get a "send windows an error report" or I have to reboot. Othertimes, I'll play and it will just reboot on me.
I realize that I the only things I have not replaced/upgraded are my motherboard and cpu - but short of that....is there anything else someone suggests trying to sustain my gaming?
I'm just annoyed as hell. Feel like all my readings and settings are good, but still having problems.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
