Hi
just build the following system and i'm seemingly random freezes (BLACK screen of death)
PSU: Be Quite 750w (from old system)
RAM: 4gb (4x1) OCZ DDR3 14400
CPU: E8500
GFX: Ati 3870x2
hdd1: 74gb raptor (boot)
hdd2: 36gb raptor (from old system)
hdd3: 36gb raptor (from old system)
mobo: Asus P5E3 Premium wifi
Vista oem m. sp1
After 1. install everything seemed fine, system ran great, 3dmark06 ran fine.
Then i startet installing games:
World in conflict = crash
C&C+Kane's wrath = crash
sometimes during loading screen, sometimes after 1 or 2 hours play.
after a couple of crashes and consequent resets the system started acting "wierd"
it would now sometimes crash while surfing aswell.
Did a fresh install yeasterday, everything was fine till i installed gfx driver and wanted to set my
res. to 1680x1050 = system rebooted, what the....
latest bios installed (had to dig out an old pci card to be able to update it (black screen))
ran memtest86 for 2 hours without errors
ran the memtest thing of the Vista dvd , no errors
So now i'm really lost and don't know where to look for errors
EDIT
link to pic with temps. , this is 2min after boot, the time it took to install everest and grab the screen.
GPU2 temps seem a bit high ? and now that i think about it i don't think iv'e heard the fan speed up expect for 3-4secs during POST
also: the 2 switches on the 3870, what are they for ?
