UPDATE
All HDD test ran & all passed. the only thing is it showed i had to, when i only have one. Both the same Model numbers everything.
I don't have any other driver active drive, Talking of active, in Disk manager the drive i have is partitioned, One into an 100MB active section & the main part into a what ever is left unActive section. Should this main part be ACTIVE ? & not the 100MB section & would that give me any benefits setting it as Active
Thats what happens when i use IMG at each side ;lol
Here is the link http://s1095.photobucket.com/albums/i480/CodeMeRight/THE%20BLACK%20RENDERING%20PROBLEMS/?action=view¤t=disk.png
Hope i got the Image voodo magic to work lol

Almost
Sounds like your disk is physically fine, this is very good to hear (the 100MB thing is just a standard windows thing - don't worry about it).
The next thing I would suggest doing is the backup and re-install of windows as soon as you get the chance (during the start of the setup make sure you format the hard drive).

It's normal. The 100mb partition is where all the boot files are stored and is what allows the system to boot into Windows. The main parition is active but doesn't need to state it. Everything is normal, and if the HDD test is fine and passed, then I would try sort out the cooling for the northbridge.

If you have one to hand use a windows 7 64 bit disk when you re-install - your existing windows 7 product code (even if it is an OEM) is still valid and you will get access to all your RAM (with your current system only 3.25GB is accessible due to the limitation of 32bit windows).

Yes i was going to ask about that, maybe upgrading to the 64Bit would be better, then i could always look at upgrading my RAM to 8Plus Gb if the broad will take it.
shame i can't use all 4 slots, n mix the DDR2 DDR3. but i understand why i can't.
I'll have to go see if 4GB would in each slot would work & what the max is for this Mobo
thinks I'll try find a clean 64bit version

Afternoon Guys
OK well reinstalled Windows, n yes the 64 bit lol. So I'll give it some Welly today & see how things go. But i haven't installed any chip-set drivers yet, only the one's from the install. n there all 2006 drivers. I know there some 2009 out there But each time i go to the Gigabyte site it says no updates. Could you recommend the best drivers, Whats your thoughts on that Driver pack solution 2011 http://drp.su/download.htm only thing I don't trust the Russkie's with all the Mafia driven stuff thats been coming out of there lately you think this is my best Option to update all my Old 2006 drivers?
Talk soon Guys n thanks again,
your both stars

Good to hear you got it installed ok (with the 64 bit version) - with any luck those old issues won't pop up again.
I don't know quite what that link is, but I would strongly suggest you pick and install the drivers yourself first.
The first thing to do is to download and install the motherboard drivers, go here, download type: "driver" and choose your OS : "Windows 7 64 bit" and install the chipset, audio and LAN drivers. Then fully run windows update (control panel>system and security>windows update) and get all that up to date (though don't let it do the graphics drivers). Then install the graphics drivers from here.
As for your motherboard supporting more RAM, as you say you can't mix DDR2 and DDR3, but the board does support two modules of 4GB DDR3 (8GB total), so if you are feeling you are running out of RAM for the applications you are using then this is an option (however 4GB is usually more than enough for most uses).

OK guys Crunch time lol
Much happier with the 64bit so for, Runs a little better, until after an hour or so of heavy game play, I used to be able to play this game 24/7 with out any problems. But after an hour it loads in sections so maybe this is something to do with the northbridge after all, Cause since I moved a fan over it, it's not as bad. So is re-paste an option you think ?
thanks for your help guys
Hope to get more Ram next week also, as second-life as an Optimized viewer for 8GB RAM.

Darn, are the same issues raising their head again in windows? - or are the problems just confined to the game?
If you feel that the northbridge is getting too hot (check this using "everest ultimate") then I would give the repast a go - the northbridge is isolated (not linked to other coolers with heatpipes), so it shouldn't be too touch to remove and repaste with proper paste (I would recommend MX-3). Also, you may want to consider investing in a bigger cooler for the northbridge (if heat remains an issue) as this one is less than a fiver.
As for more RAM this kit is a nice kit and will happily run at 1333MHz (or 1066MHz if needed). You should be able to sell on your 4GB DDR3 kit and make up a bit of the money back.

thanks for that guys
I'll be investing in some RAM & cooler shortly.
Let me ask now since this was my first over clock if that's what you can call it, do you think i could have done some damage. & how would you Rate this Mobo i have now. I have seen better out there, for around 60/80 Qwid, or a Full Mobo Kit & Ram, Plus correct me if am wrong But I hear Intel are NOT the best for clocking,{hopes i don't offend anyone} lol
I mean I like my system Snappy, n to be honest this sure is not as snappy as it was. maybe it will after the coolers added.
I'll keep in touch & let you know how it fair's ok Guys
Your both stars & thank you again for you time on this matter.

Unfortunately, it is possible. The only way to really test this is to set everything back to stock settings (clear CMOS) and do stress tests and see it the issue remains. If it does then there may well be damage done.
Intel boards can be amazing for overclocking, but unfortunately the board you went for is not optimised for overclocking (it is a pretty basic board) - the G41 chipset is the cheapest, lowest-end intel chipset of that generation I believe.
If you were buying again today I would have suggested either a P35, P45 or X48 board if you plan to do a lot of overclocking. You can buy P45 boards such as the ASUS P5Q Pro/Deluxe/Pro Turbo or P5Q-E for around £40 second-hand and these are VERY solid and highly overclockable motherboards (stable at 500MHz FSB).

lol OK I don't get this Fans over my northbridge its cool as anything right now this lol
But after an hour playing the on line Game & my Display card temps only read 42c.
but here it is again
& then after a few seconds maybe 2/3 it shows as this
this is the computer page when you go to look at your drives & ROM, it's even worse now guys,,, cries lol
So 4GB Ram witch is all ok by the test, the card is also fine, fans 7 in all in the system now, but still got this problem, could this be a memory thing?
only things i have open are 2 pages of Google chrome & Skype & MSI Burner as you can see. & now it's really really slow & non responsive takes time to open things up.
Just one thing where it says physical memory should i have much more than 57 left there, Since I'm running hardly nothing
thanks gary
Lmao the Voodoo magic works

That is a real head scratcher, I'll show this thread to a few more computer inclined friends and see if they have encountered similar problems or have any other suggestions.
In the meantime I can only suggest making a note of your overclocked BIOS settings. Then reset your CMOS (using the procedure shown on page 19 of your motherboard manual) and try running the game with your system at optimised defaults (not overclocked) and see if you encounter the same issues.

Hi Andi & Orcvader ,
thank you for your reply Help.
OK yes i was reading the manual i have here & thought of doing that, So i have all set at stock Ram 266 & CPU 1066 I'm about to go play a few game's Cyris 2 & then second-life. also reset the display card to stock. NO MSI Burner for fan so fan set at 30%.
I hope you & your colleges can help me get to the bottom of this, right now it's fine running OK. Not to Jinx things but in an hour or so if it starts doing this again, I'll get down on my knees & whisper to her gently & tell her that there's a crusher waiting in town, & see how she act's.lol.
I don't know why but something nagging me that this could be a memory maybe a leak?
But them Asus broads you told me about ! Dam Andi I so got to get me one of them lol
I'll report back later tonight.
hope your both OK & well
& thank you
Talk soon Gary
