hi guys just like to say ive read these forums for ages , and it has helped me sort out my m8's problems. But i got myself a problem which i cant work out :( so i would like to lay this problem on your wise minds. would like to hear your views and thoughts on what you's think going on. ok so i guess the system first -
XP pro - fully updated
Mobo - MSI Neo2 platium lastest bios
Memory - twinX 2 gig drr3200 cosiar
Sound - Fidelity X-Fi - lastest drivers also the new beta ones
CPU/Cooler - 3500+ 64AMD / Cooler master
Graphics - 6800gt AGP
hardrive/floppy/dvd drive
the computer never has been overclocked
temp's and voltages -
the gpu goes upto about 72 high load
ok the story so far.. everything has worked great for months then suddenly lockup with looping sound ( my first one ever ) so just rebooted though nothing of it, but it happened again the next day. then all was ok for a week then suddenly it started happening more and more , then there were strange graphic glitches ( the guns in bf2 were blue and there was like static glitches dotted about the screen ) then lock up which needed total computer reboot. so thought il try and fix this read forum after forum and did this -
tried older g/card drivers , bought new memory , reinstalled all drivers , totaly reinstall of windows and lastest drivers , memory test - passed, cpu test - passed, tired some older games see if the problem was there although the game Neverwinter nights didnt crash it did after time start to pop up small glitches things flashing and stuff , tried 1 memory stick at a time and tried other slots , disabled the X-fi soundcard and used the built in soundcard.
although i read here to try disabling the fastwrite i choose not as i want my computer to have it running and would rather have a new g/card then to have it turned off. but after writing this im gonna give it a shot just to test ( il get back to yous asap on that )
ok further more once ive tried all this and put everything back to normal , i dont have graphic glitches no more only totaly freezes after say 5 to 15 minutes while playing games.
basicly i posted this cos it might help others and i want to try everything first before i hand my computer to the guy in the shop cos the g/card is from there and he charges if the card isit broke.
hope ive been clear for yous and correct me if i missed anything out.
looking forward to hearing your views, ideas,thoughts...
