GEforce 9800GT 1gb - random crashes in Windows 7?
Hi All,
Recently purchased a new system and clean installed Windows 7 32 bit.
I'm having an issue when playing games where the game will randomly crash back to desktop without an error message. This is sometimes prefaced by graphical glitches but not always.
I have run stress tests through Everest and similar and monitored the CPU usage and temperatures - everything seems reasonable (CPU's and GPU havent ever been about 60 degrees C that I can note).
Have removed and reinstalled drivers, increased fan speed (just in case) and turned off the CPU overclocking. Is anyone else seeing issues of this nature with a similar build/OS?
System specs are below - any advice would be appreciated as its driving me nuts.
