Recently had a hardware fiasco and had the following replaced:
HDDs
PSU
Graphics Card (Temporary 8800 while I decide which high class one to buy)
My current system looks a little something like this:
Windows 7 x64
ASUS P5E3 Premium Motherboard
E600 3.33GHz
3GB DDR3 RAM (I have a 4th 1GB stick which is about to be sent of and replaced)
NVidia 8400GS 256MB
Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Antec 900w PSU
So after all of the upset with the (apparently) dead 4870-X2 I got my system back as above. At what seem to be random intervals the system freezes, does the annoying audio loop of death sound and I have to do a hard reboot.
The crashes can happen at seemingly random times, I've noted them happeneing while doing any of the following though;
Watching YouTube videos
Playing browser games
Playing normal games (low graphics quality such as the original Dawn of War)
I can be doing any of the following for hours or minutes and for no reason the system will lock up.
Any ideas of problems or steps I can take to narrow down the problem?
