I purchased a Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3LR motherboard and 2 sticks of G.SKILL DDR3-1333 2GB memory (F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ). I also have a BGF Tech 9800 GT OC2 video card. My primary issue is that I can't play any new PC games (such as Crysis) for more that about 20 minutes or less without the PC crashing. (Older games such as Far Cry have no problems). Usually, but not always, the BSOD indicates a problem in the Nvidia dll. I have RMA'ed the video card three times to no joy and the motherboard once (that was replaced very early due to overall system instability). I have also read that some people have had problems running g.skill memory on gigabyte MBs.
I would appreciate any guidance on how to get my current system stable. I have read the forum messages and change my BIOS setting to the recommended defaults. They did not help at all. What other changes are recommended.
