Hi all, hope someone can help...
I can use my pc normally under most circumstances, but i can only play games for approx 10 min or so...
I have replaced the 2 vid cards in sli mode just recently and it didnt solve the problem ( wanted to udgrade anyways ) and as far as i know, have ample cooling with intake fan,exh fan, side exh fan near vid cards and 3 small fans under the dvd player....the only one i question is the stock cpu fan and heatsink....a small aluminium block with a fan.
the video cards ave temp is 37-38 degrees celsius....until i run a game,,,then is raises to 42-42 deg and my pc freezes after that....then i have to reboot.
I run RivaTuner v2.05 and have watched it freeze like clock work....42-43 deg and stop everytime.
My system has been fine for a couple of years till now...only recently has it played up ( 3 weeks ) but my system has had a few changes....
I was running raid 0+1 with my previous mb but that one had a blowout a year ago and replaced it with A8n-SLI premium running 4 sep hd now...all hard discs had a wipe with new mb, i also upgraded ram to 2gb in total. All this ran fine till now...
I dont overclock
