how is it dying?

Well, playing CS:S earlier, it was on 100% load :shadedshu i had no background apps running, nothing. I keep getting BSOD's and random restarts. My motherboards shit. I hate AMD. My case is bloody ugly. I hate my Accelero S1 so much because it so bloody ugly i bought a new VGA cooler.

This things turning into a f***ing money pit. Im fed up, as you can imagine.

 

[kyle2020]

oh, and my chairs uncomfortable and my eyes sore, to add insult to injury.

I'd check your BIOS, it's probably a funky setting or a bad OC. As far as the BSOD's go, it's either instability from an OC or you've done something to make Windows angry. Out of everything you listed, the biggest possibility for error is the motherboard. I'd grab a spare hard drive or backup your data and reformat Windows with everything at stock settings. If it screws up after that, then you have a hardware problem.

i have reverted everything back to stock, and its still off the charts in term of load. its at 60% as i type, and all thats running is opera and iTunes. ima reformat windows tonight, any more problems and im just gonna scrap the motherboard and proc and go intel when i have the money saved.

 

[cdawall]

its not the mobo and proc fault that windows is running @60% load that sounds strickly like a windows problem

Are you by any chance using Sidebar? If you have the Removable Devices gadget running it EATS CPU cycles. My laptop would all of a sudden become almost unusable and I found out that was the problem. It was pretty useful, but I'll never use it again.

i had it on earlier, but once i noticed gaming was creating full load i closed it - to no change.

Well it was a long shot I suppose. Go into taskmanager and tell us which process is eating the cycles. I don't think your CPU can hate you that much lol

it can, trust me haha - ok heres the list: (bear in mind this is normal, and usually idles at around 3%)



20k - windows explorer
62k - desktop window manager
36k - itunes
106k (WOAH) - opera (resource whore, but it wasnt open whilst gaming =/ )
50k - steam
between 2k - 65k - svchost

those are the ones that stand out.

Ok that's your memory usage. What's the process that's using the most CPU resources when it's surging at 60-100%?

 

[kyle2020]

something called FahCore_82.exe ranging from 55 - 65?

 

[cdawall]

thats folding at home no wonder your mxing out te chip just uninstall f@h

Yea, that's folding at home. Just uninstall it and you should be ok. It's strange that it would cause a BSOD though.

i feel so stupid. Thats whats been causing it and i didnt even notice. Im ashamed of myself, haha.

 

[kyle2020]

i have another problem - i keep terminating the process in task manager but it keeps re-starting, and i cant find it under the programs list to uninstall it

*edit*

Fixed it - terminated the services then deleted everything F@H related from the file location. idling at 4% again, thank god.

Why can't I use crystalid to change my clock multiplier, or anything really?

do you mean CrystalCPUID? CrystalCPUID i believe doesn't support any of the phenoms.

 

[cdawall]

nothing supports phenoms multi yet

 

[CrackerJack]

nothing supports phenoms multi yet

i use overdrive, works fine. but i'm waiting on a better bios support the 9850

 

[suraswami]

if its a NVidia chipset based board then nTune works absolutely fine for pushing the FSB. Multi- change won't work. You can push only upto 250FSB tho.

When I saw this post I was about to post some nasty words for you, but then I read the full post down and felt better he he.
