Hey,

A mate of mine seems to be getting some odd crashes. The computer boots to Windows fine and stable, but then abit into playing games, it crashes to a black screen with looped sound.

The CPU is at stock, and the cooling is really good.

Spec:
E7200
P5K Premium Black Pearl
4 x 1GB Kingston
Samsung 500GB Green
XFX 9800GTX

I'm going to be out, so i can't reply, but he'll be reading this topic, so can you just post suggestions.

Thanks

Right, im thinking of 2 things:

1. Power supply - what unit and what wattage.

2. The pearl. If its the one I palmed off to moon it could be on its last legs as it was with me.

Is the game left 4 dead? If so it is a common problem on some configurations.

Just go around to dannys house and headbutt him :D

Erm Im still thinking power supply - was the unit secondhand when you got it? Could be suffering from brownout.

If its the motherboard, id nip to dannys and do some component testing - see if your PSU will run his system nice and smoothly, then test your RAM, etc etc. If that returns the motherboard at fault, its new board time im afraid :(

ok ill upgrade any recomendations ?

cant go wrong with a p45, p5q's are reasonably priced and are excellant boards.

Like Kyle said tho, try and get another rig to test your components out on

Go for P45 or better. P5Q Pro's are amazing, I :love: mine. You could even try and nab a secondhand Maximus off here? Depends on your budget.

Definitely sounds like the mobos struggling to me.

you can try upping the NB and SB voltages to get around weird MB issues like this.

an asus x48 board, i beleive.

asus gave some of their boards names for no real reason, it was easier when they named them by chipset.

P35 x48 P45 - order of release


x48 is older than P45, but features wise its pretty much the same. x48 has more PCI-E lanes so its the better choice for crossfire.
