Random restarts/lockups while gaming/testing
Hello, i am new to the forums! Well as the title says, i've been having some problems with my 2 month custom pc, i have tried quite a lot of things to solve these issues but they seem to keep reappearing, so i wanted to ask for some help. I used both windows 7 x64 ultimate cracked and retail versions and the problems are pretty much the same.
I ran some memtests , prime95, furmark etc. But no luck. And also since i don't see any BSOD when the problem happens, it has been a pain in the a** to know what is causing it. I have to add that i recently updated the gpu from an xfx ati 4850 1gb which was the first gpu i chose. I reinstalled lots of drivers and wiped cleaned them but no luck(with driver sweeper+safemode and in some cases using SFC /SCANNOW). Some people told me it could be the psu, the memory or even the cpu. It is not overheating because the gpu i recently bought doesn't exceed 60șC while playing and the cpu max temp i've seen is 56șC. Most crashes occur on internet games like bad company 2, call of duty 4. I also tried the punkbuster fix for those 2 which are the games i play most with no good results.
If there's any fix or advice it would be appreciated.
Thank you.
