Crash/ Lockup /BSOD/ Q6700 & 5850ATI
Hi everyone. Its 3AM and I still can not find what is wrong.
Prior to my issue.
Early Morning I woke up and Turned on my computer and my 5850 Graphics cards fan was spinning Loudly @ 60% but was just 38C. I Fixed it by enabling the Fan control and took it down to 20% then disabled it and went back to the usual 26% fan speed @ idle. Everything was fine untill 10pm that same day. Did not think much of it.
It was running perfect, no complaints and I was playing LoL " League of Legends" (not a very graphically intense game at all.) We just got done winning a game and we started a new one and then my screen goes black just like shutting off a TV and on the edge of the right of my 1st monitor and left edge of my 2nd monitor there is green/red colors with sharp scratch like images. Then it crashes into a BSOD. " machine check exception" .
After 2 Boots of BSOD I got in trying to rush to play the game >_< instead of trying to figure whats wrong. It went again when playing and on ventrilo. I thought it was the hard drive going dead but after taking everything out I still get a BSOD.
I went as far as trying to use XP SP3 and Ubuntu 9.10 on a new different hard drive to just try and nab the data off the primary os drive but I kept on getting bsod or on Ubuntu , kernel panics for the processor.
I am worried the CPU is dead. I have seen 3 others with 5850 and core i and quad core processors with this issue which worries me it might aslo be the the card.
Disabling C1E or anything that under clocks the processor and stock everything. What could I do?. It does not make sense it crashing out of nowhere
BTW I did have GPU-Z and CCC looking @ Temps with SpeedFAN looking @ CPU Temps all day since I thought it was wierd my graphics fan speed was up to 60%, Since it never goes past 45% on even BFBC2.
Everything perfect for CPU under 45C and graphics under 51C.
Another thing was since I used BFBC2 my graphics card greyed out once so I quit the game and restarted the game and was fine. Did not happen ever since. Along with that I did encode with MS Expression 3 for 12hours some videos with CPU load @ 80% but I under clock to 2.6ghz when I do that to reduce prolonged head.
A lot of things keep pointing to the Processor failing. Please help.
