First post is first.
Gonna start out with my specs:
Phenom x4 965 BE,
4GB Kingston 1333mhz ram,
Sapphire 6850 1GB,
ASUS M4A87TD EVO
Corsair VX550W
Lian Li PC60 Plus
I had done some slight overclocking before which was all stable and tested, but when this started to occur - I dropped everything to stock and the problem persists.
Every time I launch a 3d game, I can play fine for about 5minutes-2hours(completely randomly), and then suddenly I would get a freeze, and the graphics would go weird for a moment - not like proper artifacts, but like dislocated GUI elements.
Sometimes it would freeze so that I need to hold the power button, sometimes it would just throw me back in Windows with the ''program stopped responding'' error. When checking the details - it is always a random dll failing (physxcore.dll, mscrvt.dll, x, x). If this happens, my Windows seems to completely crash aswell in the sense that it is not usable anymore - Skype crashes with a random error, I get dislocated Windows GUI, flash crashes in chrome, steam crashes, etc - when I restart the system - it works fine again not even with a slightest hiccup.
Temperatures seem to be completely fine,
Things Ive tried so far:
Testing VGA with Furmark - gave no errors whatsoever, max temp 81C,
Reinstalling VGA drivers,
Dropping the OC to stock,
Tried to swap out 1 stick of ram - It made the freezes much more often, more in the 5 minute range. Thought maybe the one that I left in the PC was bad, swapped the other one - had the same effect. Thought both maybe bad -> swapped a brand new G.Skill Ripjaw in there - still freezes in the 5min range
Will post voltages and temps later today, since I am at work atm..
Gonna try swapping VGA and PSU aswell, I got extra ones from another PC.
Any ideas/suggestions? :S
