AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice Core (939) @ 2.6 Ghz CPU (248 HTT, 10.5x CPU multiplier)
HT: 248x4X=992 (Tried to keep under 1000)
MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Motherboard
OCZ PC 3200 (DDR 400) Dual Channel Value Kit (2.5-4-3-7-1T) @ 166Mhz
Geforce 7800GT w/Arctic Cooling NV Silencer Ver. 5 Rev. 3
Generic DVD-ROM Drive/Lite-On Dual Format 8X DVD Burner
ViewSonic PF790 Professional CRT monitor
CPU Vcore: 1.54 V
Memory Vcore: 2.70 V


those are my stats (for now). Well, this setup got through a rigourous testing of Prime95 and Memtest-86 (passed both), but for some reason, when I run 3DMark05, It crashes (the second part of the third test where the zeppelin is flying over the water with the huge monster inside the water). Not like my computer automatically restarts itself-more like the screen goes pitch black, although my computer is still running, no matter what I try, my monitor stays black. I played a few levels of Call of Duty 2, and it was fine. My idle temp is around 35C, and it goes up to around 41 or so when I was playing Call of Duty 2. What do you guys think I should do?

Quick way to figure that out...back off the OC and if it starts working fine you know the issue.....It could be video card related...

Also list your power supply specs...

My power supply is an Antec Smartpower 2.0 500W Power Supply. Ok, well I'll try fiddling around some more. Maybe though, I can perhaps just keep the settings (will change the multiplier from 10.5 to just 10 or 11)? I mean, gaming-wise its not given me any trouble in Call of Duty 2, World of Warcraft, or any other game I've played today.

Well that is some important info you should have provided....

try reloading the 3dmark program, incase you have a corrupted version...
