Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit going sour with freezes
I have been searching forums left and right and haven't been able to come to a conclusion to why I have recently started dealing with game crash issues. I was playing Battlefield BC2 for a while with no issues, now recently I took up the game again once the WoW arena season started coming to a close. I mention WoW because my rig never crashes/complete lock up while playing WoW or anyother Strat games. The crashes seemingly come with all of my FPS games. FarCry2, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, BFBC2, Arma2. Its kind of odd that the Firstperson shooters are the only games that seem to make my system lock up. I did do some tests, like Memtest that passed, cleaned out some files.
So after tinkering with drivers and other multiple things...I did as follows
Upgraded M4A79 Deluxe to BIOS 3603
Reverted back to Catalyst 10.5 just to see what would happen
Totally Reinstalled Windows 7 and started over with fresh drivers and running with Realtek ALC1200 on board sound
Did another Memtest and memory seems to be fine, did DOS version and windows version. A
After the reinstall I've had a few Windows 7 desktop crashes during net surfing and still the problem persists. I'm kinda stumpped on what to do...any ideas? thanks guys
Currently my Rig setup is:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz stock
ATI Radeon HD4890 1024mb RV790 Catalyst 10.5
4MB Gskill DDR2 PC2-400 memory
Asus M4A79 Deluxe MOBO with Bios 3603
Realtek ALC1200
Corsiar 650w PSU
