| 1208657 | 2011-06-17 10:59:00 | Well memtest86+ has passed, so just need to try the prime95. :). Thanks for all your help so far guys | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208658 | 2011-06-21 12:37:00 | So all my tests went fine. I couldn't get it to freeze anymore, so gave it back to my mate. Within an hour of him having it, he had frozen it! Playing CIV. See screenshot for comp dets. Any ideas? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208659 | 2011-06-21 19:59:00 | Is that *while* playing the game? I'm still going to hedge my bets on the GPU... I take it it's not blue-screening, but everything just goes black? |

| 1208660 | 2011-06-21 22:43:00 | while playing the game. No blue screen or anything. It basically just freezes in spot and you need to crash to get running again. | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208661 | 2011-06-21 22:50:00 | Freezing is usually memory related in my experience, whether or not it passes memory test. You could try giving the memory a tweak in voltage, is it running at stock speeds? |

| 1208662 | 2011-06-21 22:55:00 | No idea. How would I do this? I'm pretty sure it is at stock | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208663 | 2011-06-21 22:55:00 | So just to confirm. No one thinks it's overheating at all? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208664 | 2011-06-21 23:14:00 | I still do think it's the graphics card (overheating?). Does your mate have Onboard video? Pull the graphics card out if you can and run it for a day like that. Better still, see if you can borrow a replacement card from another mate or something for a day and see how they go. |

| 1208665 | 2011-06-21 23:17:00 | No idea. How would I do this? I'm pretty sure it is at stock if you select manual setting in bios for memory, you should be able bump the voltage, but as i dont know the motherboard, i cant really say for sure how! |

| 1208666 | 2011-06-21 23:19:00 | thanks @Chilling_Silence. They do have onboard, but the onboard doesn't work. Would this just be because the graphics card is in there? Good idea though thanks. Will give it a go. @SolMiester I'll give it a go |
