Computer Jamming, Newbie

[nello575m]

Hello Everyone,

 

I've noticed that when i am playing assassin's creed on my computer, it jams for a few minutes and continues or sometimes it stops responding. I've just recently overclocked my computer and i am not sure if my system is not stable or if it is something else. Here are my system specs:

 

Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 OC @ 4.2GHz

Memory: 8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 2000 OC @ 1800MHz 8-8-8-24

Hard Drive: Seagate 1.5 TB (split into two 500GB and 1TB)

Video Card: XFX nVidia GeForce GTX 280 stock

Motherboard: XFX nVidia 790i Ultra SLI CPU Multiplier x10 FSB 420MHz

 

Voltages:

Vcore - 1.41

Vfsb - 1.45

Vdram - 1.90

 

if there is anything else you need to know just let me know, thanks for your help everyone.

I would download and run OCCT. If it doesn't pass that, lower your overclock.

 

There are other stability programs like Prime95 that you can use. Watch your temperatures with a program like Realtemp or Coretemp.

 

Welcome to OCC

 

PS. You can take a look at my guide (link in my signature). It's got stability testing in it.

Probably an unstable OC. Time to start testing

Run OCCT or Prime 95 for 12 hours to check stability. But why don't you already know that with a system like that??? Make sure to keep an eye on your temps during testing as they will get higher than normal day to day load.

Can you show us what your BIOS setting are?

 

Is you memory linked and synced? Some people like to unlink them but I have found that the EVGA systems

 

dont do as well when they are not linked and synced. I find It much harder to find the perfect balance for stablilty

 

with an unlinked system.

 

If you show your bios setting I might be able to help find the problem.

Thanks everyone

 

i will run OCCT and check the stability and temps

 

to answer mwillman question, my memory is unlinked, with EPP 2.0 disabled. i will also try to get to BIOS settings up.
