Various Blue Screens - FSX Related?
Hi All,
Firstly pc specs:- Gigabyte MA-790FXT-UD5P | AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz | 8GB DDR 3 Kingston HyperX | PowerColor HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 | Windows 7 Home 64 Bit
Looking for help with the following please:-
Machine was built a little over 2 years ago. Problem has been on and off for some time, but seems to be getting worse, esp in FSX and more recently following on from the release of the 737NGX - not saying any fault in this, but think it's more likely the extra system load that it creates.
Problem is the BSODs! They are random in their frequency and random in when they appear, e.g. no particular application - sometimes I can use the PC for say 12 hours without any problem, sometimes a few minutes!
Temps as far as I can see are fine - highest cpu temp is 65 degrees c, but tends to be around 60 c.
GPU is typically around 56 - 59 degress c in FSX.
As far as drivers go, the graphics is upto date. Looking around for a chipset driver though (from GigaBytes web site) links me to just an old ATI (video driver) driver. Not sure if a driver exists?!
Windows updates are up to date.
Latest BIOS applied F8c
One thing that has always struck me as odd, (i only found this out after buying the components) is that the RAM motherboard voltage runs at a minimum of 1.6v The Kingston RAM itself requires 1.5v Would this cause problems?
I've ran Prime 95 for 5 hours with FFT and Blend tests - no problems.
Ran memtest for around 6 hours - no problems.
Ran OCCT for an hour and no problems found.
Docs uploaded as listed in the posting instructions,
appreciate any help.
Thanks
