Trying to Solve problem

[Garhardy]

I am trying to solve my problem, i posted awhile back about my 5850 not performing to my standards and it always saying driver failed to respond and has recovered, Well now it has been just crashing a lot more with the different colored lines running vertical and stays on that screen. I ran prime 95 for 6 minutes and this is the outcome of worker #1

If i knew what this meant i wouldnt post here, so i am just curious to what you guys think. I have nothing overclocked





But worker #2 continued and continued

But worker #2 continued and continued

the fact you have errors all within six minutes means something is definately not happy at a hardware level, all of your symptoms point towards graphics card or ram .....

I would want to make a calculation by checking my PSU minimum requirements here and don't forget you need 30-40% headroom

I would then want to look at my ram requirements and check them against the voltages and timings your motherboard is supposed to supply and then against the actual settings stated in the bios ?

Looking at your system spec it looks like your running two graphics cards , if that's true then try running with one card and one stick of ram to see if you get the crash ?

If you don't then work your way back up in ram first

 

[sinbin]

I think maybe its time for a new gpu,nvidia maybe .

Take a look at this tutorial. Lots of good info on using Prime95 Stress Test:
Torture test your CPU with Prime95
and
Prime95 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One test does not make a pattern. Run the test again to see if it repeats.
If it does I would look at cooling first: remove the case cover(s) and run it that way. You could even blow a house fan towards the case or set it up in a freezing cold room.
The next logical test would be Memtest86+ to test your RAM.
Post back if nothing shows up after that stuff.

Adding to what ickymay said, it may be your PSU? Kingwin is ... how shall I say this... known for producing crap... and have the dubious distinction of making the Tier 5 "do not buy" list over at extremesystems: Official XS Power Supply Ranking Phase I - XtremeSystems Forums

 

[Garhardy]

Well cooling if definately not an issue, i will check out into getting a new psu. i figured 750 would be able to run it. my cpu idles at 25 and full load maybe hit 45-47. gpu usually idles at 30 and max load of 50. ill try mem test.

 

[Garhardy]

i did the minimum power supply link, it reccomended 695 for me. and i have 750. Should i go bigger?

 

[Garhardy]

No i am running one hd 5850

 

[Garhardy]

Heres my current Power supply Kingwin LZ-750 750W ATX 12V Ver2.2 EPS Computer Power Supply SLI CrossFire Ready Supports PCI-E SATA Comply with Intel ATX/BTX standard 80 Plus Bronze certified 140mm Fan-Best Computer Online Store Houston Buy Discount Prices Texas-Directron.com

 

[computersplus]

your power supply problem here is with amperage not watts you are only working with 18 Amps on the +12 volt rail and you should have around 35 Amps for you system

 

[Garhardy]

Ok would you be able to recommend me a PSU? I just want to get my system more stable so i can play my games!

 

[computersplus]

here you go

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies

 

[Garhardy]

Will this one work also Corsair TX Series 850W ATX12V 2.2 EPS12V 2.91 Computer Power Supply CMPSU-850TX Active PFC Supports PCI-E SATA-Best Computer Online Store Houston Buy Discount Prices Texas-Directron.com

 

[computersplus]

oh yes it would do nicely

 

[Garhardy]

Ok power supply will be here on tuesday, Hopefully this fixes it.

 

[computersplus]

your running a pretty hefty system and you need some amps for this the power supply is crucial like I said Amps get overlooked in place of watts all the time and this can be the downfall of the system

 

[Garhardy]

Yes i have always self educated myself on everything about computer. But power supply is where i lack the knowledge. It just gets frustrating to have my video card shut down and reboot in the middle of gameplay on average of 5 times an hour. Then all of the sudden the comp will just freeze and have the vertical lines.

 

[Wishmaster]

Yea, wattage isn't always the most important part, although advertising makes it seems as such



Aside from that, there most def. seems to be a stability issue.
You aren't OC'ing are you?


You could have a RAM issue. Specs say 8Gb (4x2GB?)

Have your tried downclocking the RAM to 1066 and retest?
OR, remove 4GB of the 8 and see if it stabilizes

 

[jfar]

Hi, also have you been to the Asus site and downloaded everthing that is available for your
Motherboard and also your Graphics card, it's just that they haven't been mentioned.

 

[Garhardy]

I havent been able to overclock at all. When i try to do a small increase in clock, it becomes more unstable then it already is. I have not touched anything with memory. Memory i also lack knowledge for overclocking and such.
