Hi,
First of all, platform:
- q6600 quad @ 2,4
- GA-EP35-DS3L mobo
- GeIL Black Dragon Quad PC8500 4x1 GB
- Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GT (main suspect)
- all pluged to 450W Chieftec
- running on Win Xp Pro Sp3
I have this platrofm since 4 months, everything worked perfect till now.
As it says in thread name, the problem is hard freeze.
It occured to me while playing some good 'ol games like NFSMW, it looks like that:
1. black screen (no error msg, nothing)
2. monitor gets "no signal" info
3. sound works for a while than loops
4. after hard reset it plays some weired "beep" than noting (no hdd nor boot response)
5. normal reboot is possible after powering off and on
I started my research, it seems like a lot of ppl have the same problem (most of them using GeForce cards) tho i culdn't find a solution.
I made some temp. tests:
CPU 50 - 70 degrees (seems a lil high)
GPU 35 - 50 degrees
I ran 3Dmark06 to read the temperatures before freeze
but instead of freeze i got that neat nvidia window saying sth like
"to avoid hardweare damage performance was lowerd".
I've no clue whats going on, i think i'll end up sending whole platform back to shop...
