Vista Ultimate 64 8800GT problem

I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit, my computer is randomly crashing in games (Company of Heros / Crysis). The video freezes but the sound continues for a bit, I have to Control-Alt-Deleted to exit though task manager.I have turn down the graphics for both games i have rivatuner to turn up my fans 100% on my GPU so heating is not the problem. I have updated my driver for my video card. Can some one please help! system spec are listed below

Can someone please help.

Sorry the the motherboard is a P5K-V

i have same problem with p5k p board leadtek px8800gt stock speed. running need for speed.

Make sure you are not overclocking anything! Also make sure your PSU is up to snuff. Check your voltages. Those are the biggest problems with games crashing.

this motherboard does not like 4 sticks of ram - try with 2 sticks in dual channel configuration. what is type of your memory and fsb? try lower fsb.

sorry to disagree with you vantim, but other users have reported that it sometimes necessary to enable overclocking with this mobo and play with ram timings manually - the auto settings in the BIOS have problems.

That's quite alright. You not really disagreeing. enabling oc'ing to set timings is different from what I meant. Lowering the fsb is what I was eluding to anyway

Mine or whoisthis motherboard doesn't like sticks of ram, or is it both of us?

I think he's talking about yours ISDP. LOL

Ah, Will i'm RMAING the board now (as of 2 days ago) when i get the new one i will play with speeds and the amount of ram if i have 6400 800mhz do i drop it down to 5300 speeds?. question if the ram is not getting enough power won't the computer just blue screen error?

I'm curious. Was the computer crashing at any other time? or Was it just when playing those games?



Crysis is extremely hard on even the fastest GPU's on the market. Even a pair of 8800ultras in SLI have a hard time running that game with the graphics set at extremely high. Your poor 8800GT could've been overstressed and brought the whole system down. If you didn't crash at other times I would've looked elsewhere.



But, you returned the board. So't don't matter nohow!
