    Are these crashes RAM related?

    That error ocurred when I ran memtest in windows. I just ran it by booting from CD and it ran perfectly with no errors for like five hours. Does this mean it is certainly a driver problem?

    Duvie: Do you mean the specs from my bios? Sniper: I'm not overclocking if that's what you mean. If not, how would I do this?

    Are these crashes RAM related?

    Just ran memtest for about 4 hours and made 10 passes with zero errors. I turned off the reboot option when I get an error message so now Half-Life 2 just crashes desktop and farcry demo crashes and reports an access exception. Could this be related to directx problems somehow?

    Are these crashes RAM related?

    Just ran memtest for about 30 mins until it got to 190% with zero errors. When I clicked "end test" the system rebooted and gave me the same error. Any ideas?

    Are these crashes RAM related?

    Whenever I run Farcry or HL2 demos, after about 2 minutes or so, I hear a beep and the system reboots and upon the next boot says I have recovered from a serious error. The technical details section included these files in its error report...

    Are these normal temps?

    Are the chipset temps and fan revs within normal limits; would they cause you to crash all the time?

    Farcry and HL2 demos always crash on my pc and either reboot or crash to desktop and remove my wallpaper with a blue screen. I have the latest drivers and scored a 58000+ on Aquamark. Here are the temps I got from my DFI NF4 UT bios: Core...

    Problem with DirectX

    I've tried to reinstall it several times but when I get past the copyright agreement and click next to install it instantly goes to the "finished" screen and says it is done.

    Problem with DirectX

    I'm having a problem running some games like Farcry and HL2 demos, so I ran dxdiag and under the "system" tab I noticed it had my directx version listed as directX9b. I've downloaded the directx9c version and installed it already so I'm confused now. I'd appreciate any answers or suggestions.

    3dmark won't run

    When I try to run 3dmark03, I get a small error window that says "direct3d initialization failed". Any ideas what this is? I have the latest catalyst 5.3 drivers for my x800xl and I have DirectX9.0c as well.

    Queston about PCI-e port and vid card on my mobo

    Diablo, you seem to have the same motherboard as I do. Did your vid card impede the mobo fan from working? If so what did you do? Also, can you go into detail on how each slot operates independently.
