Don't think it is just a cable issue as it fails with either monitor disconnected even if I leave my primary monitor on HDMI. Only with both monitors connected does it remain stable. Trying the voltages for the card was my next step. I'll let you know how that goes.

boboftw, I did tried disabling hardware acceleration for Flash and that seemed to eliminate freezes after watching Youtube videos, but other things like opening Outlook and running the Performance Index continued to cause freezes. So on to testing. To everyone, the idea of multi-hour memory...

Thanks for the additional suggestions. I'll try them this weekend. One thing, the mention of the card versus the system freezing. One more that one occasion, the screen froze while a task was running in the background - uninstall or Windows update - and if I left the machine run for a bit (could...

Yeah, I'm figuring I'm headed for memory testing - ugh. The MFR recommended timing on the memory is 9-9-9-24-2N. Not sure what the N is for - haven't figured that out. With XMP on using Profile1, those are the settings, but the status keeps reading 9-9-9-24-1 even if I set the parameters...

Well, I did a clean install on my SSD and it on my first try at running the Windows Experience Index the card froze.

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is an oddity I'm seeing, though. In the bios, after turning on XMP and selecting Profile 1, the system loaded the following memory settings: tcl = 9 trcd = 9 trp = 9 trp = 24 Command rate = 2 However, the MB Intelligent Tweaker shows tcmd = 1. Does that mean...

Okay, first off, sorry for the length of this post, but I want to ensure all appropriate info is here. I have a Sapphire HD 7950 3GB OC ( 11196-02-40G) base factory OC clock of 900 MHz that keeps freezing on me - screen locks up either all one color or vertically striped. There are certain...

Thanks, gang, for the suggestions. When I get some time, I'll try them out. VirtualLarry, I had already ordered the parts for a new build system. This was a system I handed down to my wife. She is now getting my system with upgrades (new processor, more memory and Windows 7) that I didn't even...

Hi, I’m trying to salvage a ten year old system that a couple months ago started behaving badly. It is an iWill KK266-plusR motherboard, 1.5 gig of RAM, AMD 1600+ processor, nVidia 6200 256MB video card and two Maxtor hard drives. It is running Win XP SP3. Here are the issues. First...
