Randomly Computer Crashes.

Helluh SevenForums (General Section) I've bought these parts for a new computer. My cousin and brother helped me building it and made everything running perfectly. Windows and drivers.

Been researching for this problem for 2 - 3 weeks on Hardware section. Gregrocker and alot other experienced forum members been helping me out with no succes. We have been checking the RAM, GPU, CPU, PSU.

- Memtest 86 (RAM - No Errors)
- Prime95 (CPU - No Errors)
- Been running Alot of programs and stressed my pc with prime95 and GPU stress test and everything for my PSU to give up. But it didnt.
- Furmark (GPU - No Errors)


Gregrocker been helping me getting a Clean Reinstall on windows 7 with no errors and the perfect updated drivers. All is up to date.. But my computer kept getting these random crashes playing any game. this ONLY Happens when playing a game. The last 2 weeks i've been working with really helpful members we found out it could be the PSU that had a defect. So i went out spending $250 - 300 on a new PSU 1050W Corsair recommended Power Supply Unit. I plugged it in and it still got these random crashes. I also bought 8 more GB ram so i got 16 GB now.

So GregRocker told me to make a new thread on this general section to get more advice by experienced members that knows more about hardware. (I told him i was about to throw out this computer and get a new one cause this is getting really annoying, I dont want to be sitting here and listening to friends having fun and i can't join them :S)

If you got any questions please ask me. I could really use your help.

I will do anything if you could find this problem causing my computer to crash randomly. Please

2.Improve memory compatibility.

And please, if your windows is not legit, remove the crack or loader to role out that., Yes, a fking loader cause weird behaviour on many different computers.

Have any crash minidump to share?

Event log errors?.


I will update the BIOS right now. But before i got this cheap shitty mobo i had no crashes with only my GPU, CPU and PSU. this could be my motherboard having a defect. I will try give this thread and chance and let others reply on this. Next week i will sent my motherboard back to the company and get them to check it. Its only 4 months old..

Thanks OldMX.

I dont have a MiniDump Folder in my c/windows

My BIOS is up to date now.

The Unofficial also told me to download a program to test. CPU, GPU and PSU.

I tried running the CPU without any problems. I also Ran the GPU Test. my Graphic card went to 86 degrease and the limit on the program is 85 for the GPU i got, the test stopped and told me the test was over cause it got over 85 degrease..

My Computer should crash if there was a error right? there was no errors. The problem only told me it was over 85 degrease.


Is it possible to get a windows 7 64bit for under $200 that is good for playing games? just in case i need a new mobo..

Update (due to server hardware crash, the information was lost): This thread was solved by replacing the motherboard.
