Display shuts off, computer will not respond

let me see it and I will tell you. It sounds like the right one though.

Here it is. Going to run second pass now

James7679 said:

Can you show me the summary page?

Wait, that isn't the summary page? When I click summary, that's the one that pops up.

I think what James wants is the Sensors page.

Yes, that's correct. Thanks Mike. My hunger got the better of me. I need to download the new version and get used to it. I'm still using the previous version.

Okay I think these are right. I split it into two parts because my screen doesn't have a high enough resolution. This is what appears right after the stress test.

If I want it to run more than 1 pass, do I just keep starting the stress test after a pass finishes, or do I make it continuous?

Run each test in Prime95 for 10 minutes and take screenshots of the sensors output at that time while the test is still running. I assume the previous screenshots are during idle?

10 minutes should be enough to reach the peak temperatures. Make sure to stop the tests if the temperatures get too high, though. Anything over 57 C for a processor core should warrant a stop and an immediate post to us that it reached that high a temperature.

Oh no, the previous screen shots were for testing the graphics card memory. I thought that was the problem since it was the driver that kept crashing?

I haven't tried another monitor/cable because i do not have access to one. I'm running the video memory test and intelburn test in a little bit. What screenshots of Prime95 should I upload? Are there certain times I should look for?

Also, my drivers and chipset are up to date. I wanted to update the BIOS but it won't work. The setup.exe works and installs, but when I try to update it, I either get "check your internet connection!", even though I am clearly connected to the internet, or it stops responding and has to be closed. Maybe updating the BIOS will work because that version looks new, but I can't seem to do be able to do it.

Edit: scratch that, I tried downloading the utility and that worked. But the BIOS version looks like it's fine, so I guess there's no point in running the utility.

James was responding to the above, and specifically to the question that I put in bold. The screenshots you gave are actually a good baseline, though, so they are helpful. The system is essentially in idle during a video memory test, or at least, it is under very little stress. :)

You may still want to give some idle screenshots. Let your system do nothing for 15 minutes (do not run any applications, basically). Then take a screenshot of the temperatures and voltages as before.
