Hey all,
I need some help with my system. Earlier today my computer started to randomly freeze up, with the monitor showing faintly vertical red lines. Only a reboot would solve the problem (always temporarily, for more or less time). At startup, the post screen showed vertical artifacts as well. At the same time, for about an hour every time I rebooted my monitor would show NO SIGNAL after sitting idle for less than 10 minutes (I do not know if this is related, but think it is).
I have since blown out the inside of the computer and taken the side off to reduce possible overheating of the gpu (I can't think of anything else it would be, though I read somewhere RAM could be the culprit), and the red lines have only appeared once more.
Here are my specs:
Case= Thermaltake SOPRANO VB1000BWS Black 0.8mm SECC Chassis, ATX Mid Tower
MoBo= GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX
CPU= Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 65W
Heatsink= Tuniq Tower 120 Universal CPU Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan
RAM= G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
GPU= EVGA 512-P2-N635-AR GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Power Supply= SILVERSTONE SST-ST50EF 500W ATX 12V 2.2
HDD= Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" X 2
I am running RightMark and both CPUs are running at 100% load at 83 and 81 degrees C just sitting in Windows. I ran OCCT and it wouldn't run the stress test because the GPU temp is 85C. I hooked up to my lcd tv for about 20 minutes, and had no problems, but as I said the freezing and red lines seem to come randomly.
I realize my cpu temps are high (according to what I can find the max temp for that cpu is 61C), and welcome any suggestions for lowering them as well as my gpu temp, but my main concern is this video issue. Thank you in advance for your help.
