Aeromun Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) I dont know if anyone read my other threads about my comp crashing while playing games, but i now have something new it crashes on that might clue me/anyone else in to why it is crashing.. Ok, so before i knew that while playing games my comp would freeze up with repeating sounds (and yes ive tried turning off my onboard sound, it still crashes) and after the screen freezes, the HDD activity light is fully lit...and when i reboot, my comp will sometimes freeze while posting or it will freeze while windows loads, and after a couple tries i finally reboot succesfuly, but then sometimes it wont detect my sata dvd drive.. but today it crashed while i was editing a video in windvd creator...

Compxpert Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Try updating drivers on you comp. Since it doesn't sound like a video problem then you shouldn't have to update videocard drivers. Try updating ure chipset if theres an availble update and try updating ure bios if you don't already have the latest bios version. Other than that i'm clueless as to what else it could be.

r_target Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Here is a link to the latest motherboard drivers for your chipset. Is the system crashing while overclocked? You didn't say. Also, run more than one loop of Memtest to test RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
