    I need to up-grade mine but i don't wanna go through the hassle of stuff like you did.

    For me this saying applies: If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Splitt3r, you're one to talk. (not to mention the oversized photos you love posting)

    I understood what Clark_Kent was saying.

    It's obvious English isn't his first language, but he can communicate fine.

    At least he can speak more than one language, something you probably can't do.

    no I can't speak a 2nd language, I barely passed spanish 1 that final was a ****.:eek: and I have to take another year of that class too. I didn't realize english wasn't your main language. sorry.

    Download everest home edition and post a log after you have been gaming for a while, maybe get 3dmark 06 to stress test your system, sounds liek it could be somethign overheating or a bad stick of ram if updating the drivers didn't fix it, does it do this with all games or just some?

    i just finish testing the ram with memory 1.15 for one hours and no problem
    all pass was okay no error. i will try the everest home edition and post the log and a few minutes 30-45......

    And i just install speedfan 4.27 to monitor my temp at idle is at 52 Celsius CPU
    video cards 46 Celsius temp in case is 43 Celsius i think they are at okay idle ???

    Those aren't bad idle temps, a little warm but not hot enough to cause problems unless they get a lot hotter under load. the video card temp is great.

    Okay just play need for speed Most wanted my setting was 800x600 everything max out for 30 minutes my temp CPU 65C video cards 60C
    inside case 50C.

    I know they 're still something wrong because every 10 seconds my screen
    freeze just for 1/2 a second.

    Ahem SP2 seems to be missing?

    Kinda getting close to this thread needing to migrate to one of the tech forums Clark as its gone from just a casual chat on a new pc to a tech help question? ( if you feel as well it would best be served in the tech forums as that would remove any silly comments from being posted.. click the report a thread button and say you'd like this thread moved to which ever forum you feel would be best for your question ) :)

    *cannot believe what I thought would take 2 lines to say took this many ;)

    You said it was 3.6 Ghz?

    What model?

    I.E. Intel ### D
    AMD Socket (754/939) xx00+/x2/FX.... :)

    Not to sound rude, but, saying what Ghz one has is kinda old news nowadays.

    I have an amd Athlon 3200+ Socket A (2.2ghz) (barton core) athlon xp, but a 939 3500+ (2.2ghz) (Venice core/Revision E) blows my system away!. :)


    Just wanted to note that.

    In the end, that vid card is something that I'd love to have in my future upgrade!
