I recently put together a new system:
AMD 1.2 GHZ Retail
Asus A7A266
Enlight Case - recommended as Athlon friendly
(2) 256mb Kingston 2100 DDR RAM (512MB total) - recommended as Athlon friendly
Creative Labs GeForce II Annhilator
Sound Blaster Live
Generic NIC from old system
Things have been working pretty smoothly but I have had some bumps in the road. The games that I am running will either freeze, drop me to windows desktop without an error, or cause the pc to reboot itself spontaneously. This doesn't happen often, maybe a couple of times a week. My thinking is that it may be a heat related issue and that is what I want to test now. The last step I took was to remove the side panel to increase circulation in the case. This being said, can someone recommend a graphic intensive app that I can start before going to bed and check in the AM? In the past I had used Quake II demo which would just loop ad-infinitum. I don't think the Quake III demo does the same. If anyone has any other ideas on what to check, I would like to hear them as well.
Thanks in advance.
