PC random crash

SHARUNAS · Oct 26, 2014

Hi,

After few minutes of watching You Tube on Firefox my PC does either of those things:
1. Crashes and reboots
2. Crashes but does not boot (stays in BIOS screen)
3. I get black screen and have to make hard restart

This does not happen with Chrome though. I am using GT 630 atm cause my 4870 died recently. My PC crashes while playing games as well but this happens once a day or none at all. I've run stability test (Furmark, Prime95, memtest86) and passes without problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

well then use Chrome... (it's what i did when i got fed of Firefox)

for the game crashes hum no idea since the stability test pass, let see what other will have to say.

Are you overclocking your Athlon 64 X2 6400 BE? If this is the case, then undo the overclock. Also try loosening the timing of the ram modules via bios and see if the crashes go away.
