Hi,
So I built a gaming PC recently, and have started having problems since I CF my system. Here are my Specs:
Intel Core i5-2500K
G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB (4X4GB) DDR3 1866 [Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR]
XFX DD HD 7870 BE (CF)
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Thermaltake TPG-1200W
Asus Sabertooth Z77
Cooler Master HAF X BE
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Asus BD Burner/Samsung DVD Burner
Acer GD235HZbid
Windows 7 Home Premium 64
The problem is, more than half the time when I try to play a game or run a graphics intensive program (Aion, SW:TOR, 3Dmark11), it crashes my computer. Most of the time it won't even go to a blue screen, just go straight into reboot. I've been on the XFX support site with a tech for like two weeks, and nothing has helped. I've uninstalled and re-installed CCC countless times using the drive sweeper and safe boot. I've tried both cards individually(power off, unplugged) and they are both fine alone. I've traded slots with the cards(power off, unplugged), still no help. I've traded PSU's and gone up from a 850W to the current one. I cleared CMOS and it didn't seem to help. I have run window memory test on my ram twice and it has passed. I tried to use GPU-Z, but that is also now crashing my system. I've just got finished trading the RAM around, and it seemed to work the same in all slots, but would still crash 25-50% of the time when I loaded up a game. CPU-Z showed me that all RAM is being read. My BIOS on my mother board is current with the v1015 release, as are all of my drivers for my peripherals. I did make a stupid mistake and by two 8GB kits instead of one 16GB kit, as I had not been informed or read prior that it could cause problems. My timing seem to be on board, but I will try whatever you send my way. I was informed this is probably a memory problem, possibly due to the two kits. Any advise, thoughts?
