Games on windows crash after CPU upgrade (With BSOD 1 time so far)
Hello
I have upgraded my CPU from Core 2 Duo 2.6mhz, to Core 2 Quad Q9500, and I had to upgrade the BIOS for my motherboard before that
MB type: GA-EP35-DS4
Everything worked fine for that, except when I run a game, it takes it about 10 to 12 minutes before it just crash and close itself (with no any error message), currently with:
Deus Ex: HR, Starcraft 2, Minecraft
I only get the error reporter for the games (if they had one) and no useful information I can get from them
I suspected the heat issue, so I bought a new cooler, the heat now in sticking on 37, no more
but still I am having this issue
My configuration are:Now I am thinking about the power supply, but the thing is everything was OK before, and I did not face any power issues before, all the problems started after I upgraded my bios and CPU
- MB: GA-EP35-DS4
- CPU Intel C2Q, Q9500
- 8 GB RAM (Kingston) (2gb x 4 sticks)
- Nvidia GTS 450 (As GPU)
- Nvidia 9500 GT (As physix)
- 1TB HDD WD
- 320GB HDD WD (for system)
- 500GB HDD WD
- 500 watts power supply
I checked the heat status and voltage status with CPU-Z stuff, but I am not fimiliar with the correct voltage values for RAM and CPU
Any suggestions about the issue?
PS: And the windows was on my computer since Jul 2009, and I would love to keep it from that date, I would not prefer re-installation unless there is no other option)
Regards
