Hey there guys & gals...
I have the following setup
Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe with ATI xpress 3200 chipset
2 Gb RAM Kingston (i think these are the core problem creator)
Thermaltake Pure Power TWV 500Watt PSU
AMD Athlon 64X2 dual core
4 inlet case fans and 4 outlet case fans
HDD Western Digital 250 Gb
Ati X1900XTX Graphic Card Crossfire edition
Ati Crossfire X1900 Graphic card
All connection are exact, so plz don't tell me i have connection issues ;-)
The issue is when i start my enginge (PC hehe) the graphic cards' fans runs at high speed. Then after the Windows XP start to load, the graphic cards' fans reduce its speed.
When I run a game (especially Quake 4 or Half-Life or any other 3d game) in Crossfire mode... my system restarts suddenly. don't know why.. but my motherboard finally stopped working (no power, burned, wrecked, capot). so i replaced it with Abit ATb 32x mobo, which still does the same problem but fortunately the mobo hasn't been wrecked.....yet.
When i check the air coming out of the back of my pc case from the graphic cards, it's very hot, and the temprature rises beyond 70 degrees C.
I though of removing the factory made fans on the graphic cards and add water cooling instead.
guys any idea?.. some people said to me change your RAM to OCZ which is crossfire certified.. i'm going crazy.. so help me come over my crossfire, or else it will CROSS my brain..
Cheers
