Hey guys
First off, system specs:
A8n-SLI Deluxe
OCZ Modstream power supply 450watt
Athlon 64 3200+
Dual 6600GT's pci-e sli
1GB Corsair Value
WinXP Sp2
I've been having problems with BSOD problems for half a year now. It's very random and there are several culprits. (not to mention, aggravating the hell out of me).
It ALWAYS freezes when playing games, never at the desktop level.
My first suspicion was 6600GT's since the BSOD always says the faulting module is "NV4_disp.dll", and event viewer mentioned it entered an "infinite loop". I've tried a motherload of different forceware drivers, doesn't make a difference.
I know it's not heat related, I've checked and rechecked all temps and everything is in order.
Then I thought it was my crappy RAM, so I memtested the hell out of them and no errors whatsoever.
Then I started looking at my voltages and noticed my 12v shows @ 11.52v and dips down to 11.33v when under heavy load in games. I know 12v readings are sometimes not accurate but is it supposed to drop like that under load? Would this cause BSOD reflecting nv4_disp.dll?
I don't have enough money to drop on a new powerful power supply AND a new video card at the same time so I'm really trying to pin this down. I know for a fact it's one of those two.
Some help GREATLY appreciated
