Feels a bit too complicated for me.
In my latest crash i tried a game on lowest graphics settings and the graphics card fan didnt' even need to cool it down and stayed on 60%, still crashed.
In my opinion there must be something else triggering the crashes, at least not the graphics card alone.
So frustrating to be stuck with it!
So, I decided to reinstall Windows but the errors are still there.
I was then recommended to try out Prime95 and it found an error right away.
It looks like following:
[18:10] Test 1, 7800 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M9961473 using AMD K8 type-2 FFT length 512K, Pass1=512, Pass2=1K.
[18:12] FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
[18:12] Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
[18:12] Torture Test completed 0 tests in 1 minutes - 1 errors, 0 warnings.
I'd really appreciate some help in interpreting this as I don't want to screw up in BIOS and stuff.
Thanks!

It's not a log file what i can see.
And the results file didn't give any further info...
Well I think rounding would be pointing to ram or cpu issue.
If it's a ram issue it's easy to test, just let this run overnight.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Rounding errors are something you generally see when overclocking.
I'm wondering if your ram is set spd or not.
oh that would be it's default factory timings.
Info: Ram Timings For Dummies. - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
So, everything under Memory management was set to auto. I also just found out that my RAM pairs have slightly different timings but that have never bothered me before in the 2 years I've used them together.
First pair have the timing 5-5-5-12.
Second pair have timing 5-5-5-18.
I tried both 12 and 18 with Prime95 but it didn't work out but something changed slightly with 12 that I tried first
"FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4999829314, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file."
Also found 2 more things in my BIOS by the other 4 timings that wasn't in the FAQ:
ROW to ROW Delay (TRRD)
ROW Cycle Time (TRC)
Left those on auto for now.
What should I do with the TRAS? Do I have to remove one of the pairs for it to work properly? I already tried with the "18 pair" on 18 but that didn't work either...
Please advice!

...And then there was silence.
Should I take this in another section of the forum?
