i7 staring playing up

BigBruiserAl · 27 May 2010 at 13:18

ok heres an odd one i7 @ 4ghz been stable for a year used daily, can run any game at max for over 6hours and can pass 8 hr prime etc etc. was converting a vob file using ps3 conveter got to 12% and crashed. Thought it may have been a one off so repated and crashed at 19%, nudged vtt and vcore to no effect ideas?

Is the problem only restricted to the one task? I think it may be a good idea to run through a stability test , running prime for a few hours or so before concluding that there is a hardware fault.

off topic.. i love the caption in your sig.. Very good

Don't really know is it different video format? set your CPU to stock and if it still crashes doing it you'll know it's not your overclock.

HI m8, try un-installing your PS3 Converter prog and reinstall it, maybe it got corrupted some how!!

Just a thought.
