That's a pretty scary list! But as you said, X58 incorporated a lot of new technologies for Intel. Strangely, for my system it doesn't seem as though overclocking is to blame, as I had the crashing problem even with stock clocks. Since my last update I've been trying to make it crash, but...

It's a bit early to tell, but disabling Hardware Prefetch does seem to have at least helped. I had a good run around Skyrim without crashing so far. Can you explain what made you suggest this in the first place? I'd like to have a better understanding of why it helped improve stability, as well...

Ok, regarding the artifacting: I have noticed in Skyrim that very distant textures on the mountain tops are flashing, though only if the "camera" is panning or rotating. I've also noticed similar with War Thunder. It seems to be some kind of interaction with shadows? I actually thought this was...

I have tried different PCIe slots, as for the drivers, I've used the first available compliant driver (344.16, I think?) and am currently running 344.48. The first time I encountered this issue, I hoped it was the driver, since it was a new architecture, but it doesn't seem to be. I also...

Thanks for the reply, could you suggest some decent software for measuring such temps? I've been using HWiNFO64 but all I can get is some generic "Motherboard" readout, which seems to stay at 50C regardless of what I'm doing. If it helps, I've also reset to stock clocks for the CPU (2.67GHz...

Problem solved! Disabling Hardware Prefetch in the BIOS under CPU settings has put an end to my crash/reboots :) Hi, I've been experiencing seemingly random crashes during gaming ever since I upgraded to an MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G- after anywhere from half an hour to a few hours, my PC will just...

Problem solved! Turns out, it was the registry settings in the first place. With the default registry settings, I could not replicate the issue. I also tried the modified registry settings with different values for DelayBeforeAcceptance including 1, 30 and 100, all to no avail. Playing games and...

Thanks for the extra input, BrightCandle, and obviously Virgorising. I had initially ruled out the registry edits as being the cause of the problem as I thought I applied said changes much earlier than the problem started occurring, perhaps that was a mistake, especially with my memory being...

Sorry, sometimes I find it can help if I take a step back from a problem for a few days, might help with finding a new approach. I'll revert the changes in my registry, and see if that works (I'll be sure to restart immediately after the changes have been made). For completeness, the reverted...

Ah! I should have worded it less ambiguously. Those temps are under load. The CPU doesn't go over 70C while running an 8 thread Prime95. The GPU ,at load, depends on the game. 70's usually for less demanding games, 85 seems to be the highest I can get it with intense games. As for...

In answer to Matt1970: Yes, I unplugged the original keyboard, and used a different USB port for the test keyboard, I wanted to try to isolate the old keyboard as much as possible, though I wasn't sure if it was really necessary. To Virgorising's questions: I've tried running at completely...

Are you thinking video drivers? I could try another fresh install. Do you know of any reputable alternatives to Driver Sweeper? Perhaps that one missed something. I remember this issue cropping up when I was running the 280X, along with artifacting. I don't trust my memory to say for sure...

I've filled my spec list out some more. My CPU is an old i7 i920, so no integrated graphics for me. If it helps, I've had the GTX 570 since not long after they were released, and I'm running the latest drivers. I'm not sure its a driver issue, since it manifests on both USB and PS/2...

Sorry it took me a while to reply, I had to borrow someone's keyboard, and then test with it (wow, membranes feel AWFUL now!). Anyway, I was able to re-create the same behavior with this USB keyboard as well. I also tried my Filco with USB (forgoing the use of the PS/2 adapter) and the issue...

*Edit* This problem has been solved- the issue was caused by the modified registry settings for keyboard response, resetting them to their default values solved the strange input behaviour. The default registry values are as follows: AutoRepeatDelay: 1000 AutoRepeatRate: 500 BounceTime: 0...
