Ok, heres my setup firstly
dfi lanparty ut 250gb
athlon 64 3800+
Gig of Corsair 3200xms ram
ATI x800xt all-in-wonder *running the omega drivers; not standard from ati*
OCZ 520w psu
an OLD western digital 80gb that i had from my old computer *runs like an airport*
NEC dvdrw
and a case with 2 normal fans *120mm at back, 80mm at front near hd*
and some cheap internet card because the built in giganet from dfi = a joke
so ok, ive had problems with this creation for a while since i built it around a month and a half ago. The first problems were installing windows, i'd get an almost "snowflake" effect on my screen of multicolored boxes. That happened about 60times before i figured to switch out the video card and do an overhaul. Did that and finally got windows to work. well, after that it would randomly freeze or not have all the hardware profiles listed as understood, their was like 3 ?'s. so, i install DFI's mobo drivers....system crashes, and i cant get past the window screen of boxes. im frustraited.
over time, i got the windows and my game to work with the video card, i ruled out overheating of it *which it prolly was* because now theirs an external table house fan running on it on LOW at all times while the computer is on, so airflow is getting in there.
now though, since yesterday, ive been experiencing random but now reoccuring restarts for no reason. i could be typing a word document with no other programs running in the background and boom, reset. same with games only the reset time is quicker. ive reseated the ram and switched them from slot 1 and 3 to slot 3 and 1. but thats no far no change.
any ideas? i thought i'd post here before i am gonna get it looked at by a tech; ive done everything i could think of; checked virus'es, spyware, reseated the stuff, etc. just confused
