    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    Just thought I'd say that the problem seems to be solved now. It was the CPU that was causing the problems, more specifically the 2 extra cores that I unlocked. Kind of embarrasing that I didn't think about that immediatley, it's pretty obvious that resetting CMOS in BIOS is the first thing to...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    Don't remember the CPU temp right now, but it was nothing out of the ordinary, I think around 50 Celsius.

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    Thanks for the advice. Is there someway I could test the PSU without having to remove it and start fiddling with the connectors and all that? I will definitely try restoring the original BIOS settings, don't know why I didn't think about that before! The ASUS motherboard did however do all the...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    I just installed the new RAM-sticks that I got back from Corsair and the problem still persists. I'll run another memtest just to make sure that the memory sticks are fine. But it's very unlikely that they too would be faulty. What may be the next step? Could it be that the actual operating...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    What would be the next step to localize where the error originates from? Should I run the test again on one memory stick at a time? Are other tests I could run to find out whether the motherboard is faulty in some manner? I can't really wrap my head around how a hardware error can manifest...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    Ok, I ran the Memtest86+ v4.15b from Hiren's BootCD and it did actually return one error, surprisingly. I have very little knowledge of what types of errors occur in RAM and the paging structure and all that, so please enlighten me if the following error information can tell you something of...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    I did run the add-on free version of IE8 that can be found under accesories and it crashed in the same manner. And I used Microsoft Security essentials to being with, but uninstalled it when the to try AVG instead. The crashes have been present all the time...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    I dont have access to the computer at the moment because it is not actually mine, but I will try that as soon as possible. Although it seems unlikely that add-ons for IE8 are the problem all browsers have crashed. I'll go ahead an try it but it would seem wierd if it was a hardware problem...

    "Random" crashes of IE8 and other browsers

    Hi, The basic premise is that all web browsers I have tried this far crash or report an error within a few seconds or a minute of using them. It seemed likely that it was an issue with a plug-in or an add-on like the flash player or shockwave, Firefox would for example complain about that...

    Many different BSODs, hardware failure?

    Ok, I solved it and probably it was the memory that had some kind of problem. I set the BIOS to optimized default, which seemed to have solved the BSOD issue, eventhough I manually set the RAM settings to their defualts before.

    Many different BSODs, hardware failure?

    I have not pulled out the video card yet, I was hoping it wouldn't come to dismounting all the parts but I don't have much of a choice left now. When ET6 froze I think I was clicking some kind of CPU-mode thing (like, normal, sport, racing, ultra etc), just to test it out. And I'm afraid that...

    Many different BSODs, hardware failure?

    First post here on the Anandtech forum! Been reading the news from time to time and I thought that there can't be a better place to get help and advice than on the Anandtech forum :)! Anyway, my problem is with my fathers computer that I built in October last year: Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz...
