Certain games crashing on custom PC build (BSOD)
- Thread starter Chris404
- Start date
Well I've had problems from the beginning but they've seemed to exacerbated recently with the newer such as the new CS.
How do I check if "timing" for any of those things is good?
I have no clue on how to go about changing those settings.
I know where they are in the bios, they are all on "Auto".

I think this is everything.
Also, I keep needing to recover and patch one of my games, I dont know if it's related to the problem, but could there be something with my Harddrive that is dropping data? I mean, I have a 1TB drive and I'm only 500GB in.

Sweet thanks...
First, set "Initial Display First" to PEG (PCIe)
Play with the AMD C1E and C6 settings (Enable/Disable) check game play
Disable AMD8 Cool & Quiet Control
Hardware Thermal Control (disable) check game play
On-Chip SATA Type (Be careful here) is set as Native IDE. What are the other options? IDE, AHCI and RAID? AHCI would be the ideal setting but if you attempt to change this setting now, you would loose the ability to boot into Windows. You would have to re-format the hard drive with AHCI set first. This setting directly affects the hard drive's optimum performance for the good
Let us know if this helps things, and good job on the pics!

Ok. I did everything except for the on-chip STA type.
Curious. What did the AMD c1e and c6 settings change?
and thanks, I didnt realize PEG stood for PCIe. if they had used PCIe I would have seen that a while ago =P
So I would need to reinstall everything including windows if I were to change the STA type?
AHCI and RAID are the other options. What exactly do they do?
Thanks. =)

If you change the "on-chip SATA type now, with Windows loaded, the computer will not "find" the C drive. Yes, you have to re-install Windows with AHCI enabled first. AHCI= Advanced Host Controller Interface. Enabling it gives you better hard drive performance. A good thing to do for gaming and other tasks. C1e and C6 have to do with controlling the CPU's power states. You don't want the CPU to slow down while gaming do you? The AMD8 cool & Quiet utility could affect game play... or not. And yes PEG= PCIe. When I say check for game play, I mean disable and try the games, enable and try the games. Good luck 
Ok, tried to reformat the HD. Windows 7 home premium would NOT install under any other format than Native IDE or w/e the thing is.
Also, the random crashes after being idle for a few min have not stopped. Already crashed so the fresh install did nothing.
Reinstalling basic drivers again....
What is the deal? =C

No, I built it. I did my review in newegg and they sent me a customer support number and I sent them the email yesterday.
Hopefully they will identify the issue as a motherboard issue aswell.
Side note: A few people on newegg who also ordered this board have started posting in the last month that they are having similar issues so hopefully I can get my hands on a new one soon enough.
