Bad Memory or Bad Video Card or?
dfinewb replied to dfinewb's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
I'm not in front of the PC now but if memory serves... I traced the dumps to some ntskrnl errors and a few nv4disp - I have reloade the OS and even tried my old ide drives just for kicks with no change Unfortunately most of my crashes 75% are either a hard lock so no event is generated or a crash to desktop 20% of the time and again no event generated. -
For the love of god someone please help me... This is my first time building a system with a DFI motherboard and its got me pulling my hair out. I am having seemingly random BSODs freezing and crashing to desktop mostly during gaming. I can sometimes play for hours with no problems other times only for a few minutes. After doing a little snooping through the forums here I thought I might be having problems with my memory (Corsair Value Select - stock timing) So I ran memtest for 12 hours with no errors then I ran Prime95 for 12 hours no errors. Nothing seems to be getting too hot although I am concerned that the pcb of the video card is touching the fan shroud for the northbridge (although the fan still spins freely). So anyway am I looking at a video card going bad here or could these problems still be traced to memory issues or something else I'm missing? Any and all help would be very much appreciated.
