Hi, im having trouble finding out what's causing this PC to crash from time to time.
The poblems started a few weeks ago when i upgraded the CPU and the GPU. The vendors of the components and the motherboard stayed the same.
(E6550 --> E8500 and HD4850 --> HD6850)
It had some crashes before but now it got realy bad so i reinstalled the system, updated MB bios, dowloaded drivers from vendor sites, updated everything and only installed basic 3rd party drivers and software.
The crashes still remained...they happen more often when the computer is under heavy load (3D operations, games running), but they also occur if im playing a video or just use a web browser.
I ran memtest, chkdisk but nothing, then furmark and intelliburn but no effect.
The remaining drivers came up clean with verifier, and i looked after anything that came up from the crashdumps but my windbg knowledge is limited so im at the end of my rope here and open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
