Hi, sorry to be such a nusaince with my first post, but I read through some of the stickys, and couldnt find what I was looking for in regards my problem.
Basically, I recently built a PC, which started having minor problems (games crashing and such) which I tried to sort out, but didnt. Anyway, I bought a new HDD, so I formatted and went for a fresh install if vista, thinking it would solve the problem.
I have been experiencing lockups with the game ''assassins creed'', and also with the game ''CoD4''. AC will crash about 2 minutes into the game, and CoD4 could not crash once for a whole week, or could crash 10 minutes after turning it on. I figured that it was down to my gfx card overheating (as loads of artifacts would appear on screen, then it would lock up). I downloaded and ran everest, logging the temperatures of my gpu, which never rose above 65degrees C, when the game was crashing.
Sorry for the long description, thought it may help.
Heres the error produced on reboot:
I guess it must be a hardware issue, possibly related to my ram?
Also, here's my basic pc spec:
Mobo: gigabyte p35-ds3r
Processor: E6750 @ 2.66GHz
Memory: 4094MB RAM (from overclockers.co.uk, debranded cheap stuff.)
Hard Drive: 1x 150gb raptor, 1x500gb maxtor
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Ultimate (6.0, Build 6000) (6000.vista_gdr.071023-1545)
Psu: cheap artic-cooling one (could be underpowered?)
