Thanks, keep us posted.
Here are the before and during load screenshots.
5 minutes is not enough :\.
You want to stress the components not only in terms of test the cooling but also in terms of
stability of operation under full-load. The goal is find the failing hardware.
Fill out this form and post back the result:
Putting load on the PC using Prime95 for the CPU side and Furmark for the GPU.
Reset the BIOS back to default in case you're unaware that your CPU is overclocked:
Note
Write down the current value of the SATA Mode!
Its either AHCI or IDE.
After resetting the CMOS go back and verify the value for SATA Mode is what it was
when the OS was installed.
Thanks.
411W out of 500W on 5 years old PSU is a lot to ask as components deteriorate faster
when they are run close to the top end of their spec.
Do you have a different PSU you can install for testing purposes?
Also your hard-drive is of 160GB capacity, those models are usually from 2008 and prior
which makes it very old, I suggest testing the HDD.
Testing the HDD:Code:Model WDC WD1600AAJS-22PSA0 ATA Device Size 149.05 GB (160,039,763,968 bytes)
- Perform a Disk Check | Disk Check
- Then Post the results following | THIS METHOD
- Download SeaTools for Windows if you don't want to use a CD to test the HDD you can use YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator to create a bootable USB (instructions are found at the bottom of both pages).
- If SeaTools for Windows is unable to recognize your HDD visit HDDdiag and follow the instructions.
How did you test the RAM?
What program did you use and for how many consecutive passes did you let it run for?
Thanks for the update :) .
The CHKDSK looks to be in order, did you manage to test the RAM and the HDD using Seatools (or WDLG) yet?
