My computer either hard locks and i need to manaully reset or i get a BSOD. I get no errors in the event log most of the time. The only ones I have got say an infinite loop has occured in the graphics driver or that the graphics hardware is fualty. Ive tried multiple nvidia drivers so i dont think thats the problem and im pretty sure my graphics cards arent faulty.
Computer specs:
Gigabyte GA K8N Pro SLI mobo
Athlon 64 4600+ X2 939
2Gb Corsair RAM
2x Geforce 7800GTX 256Mb
Soundblaster X-Fi
Enermax 600W PSU
Things Ive tried...
Reinstalled windows
Reinstalled world of warcraft
Tried multiple nvidia drivers
Tried 2 BIOS revisions
Tried updating wireless network drivers
Tried removing wireless network card and using onboard wired lan
Tried removing 1 video card
Tried removing sound card
Tried changing CPU to an old amd 3500+ single core
Ran tests on the CPU and RAM
Everything points towards the video cards being defective but i cant see both of the failing at the same time. I have never overclocked my system and it has always ran fine. Its not just WoW that the crashes happen in, i tried playing counter strike source and it does the same thing. Weird thing is, if i play against bots i can go for about 30 minutes without a lock up, but if i play online, it locks up within 2 minutes usually.
I can run the computer for hours just watching movies and it will run perfectly. I ran 2 3dmark05s in a row and got 11500 which also suggests that my hardware is fine.
