I am having some real mind boggling problem with my computer that has been persistent in every game I play.
Every game I play will crash with a frozen screen/looping sound or alternately black screen or even redirected to the Desktop with the Error message,
'program has stopped working.'

The solutions I have tried include,
-Scanning the System for Viruses 'Norton'
-Updating all Drivers on every component.
-Re-installation of games/(on Steam)Verify integrity of game cache

If anyone has any further ideas on what it could be please respond ASAP!

Dxdiag;

-Windows 7 64-bit
-Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz
-8GB RAM
-nVidia GeForce GTX 460
-500W Lepa W-Series PSU

Many Thanks, John
 
Nothing is Oveclocked... On memtest what does it mean by coverage? Ive enetered 2GB in 3 windows and its at 4,000,000.0% coverage?
 
Okey I will try that... but I have just been shown 11 problems by Windows. All say Video Hardware Error, but not to open incase it is a viral infection, Im not sure if you guys can make headway but the files listed are called;
WD-20120628-2239.dmp
sysdata.xml
WERInternalMetadata.xml
These are listed as files that help describe the problem.
 
Sweet Cheers thats good I shall try all these! Im pretty sure it is related to the graphics card/ PSU. I did get 11 Video hardware errors from windows yesterday which has never come up before! What would you consider a maximum stable temperature for a graphics card to be working at? My room is pretty hot just now with all this weird weather!
 
Hmm.. definately a few good suggestions as to what might be going on!

I built this computer in September last year so its all 10months old now.

Ill spend time with it this weekend run through every suggestion that has been made to see if it sorts or pinpoints the problem. It seems certain that it is the graphics card but I will put it to the test, and post up over the course of the weekend the results.
 
Ok its Friday 13th and I decided to start by defragging & running a security scan on the computer no problems found. I ventured into the computer and took it upon myself to clean out all the fans + components which has inevitably landed me in wiring up the computer again. Although the computer will only continue to stay on for more than 1 second if the optical, HDD & Graphics Card are not connected up! Does anyone know why this is?
 
What would you recommend? Ive just read my graphics card manual an it states minimum 450W system and Im using a 500W for the whole system!
 
Cheers min! Busy day tomorrow then haha Yeah I think Ill do that just to be on the safe side its becoming a pain now one problem to another! Haha
 
Ok I have completely rebuilt the PC, although now I cant get a display. Everything is plugged in, all fans work, CPU, everything; including the Graphics card itself! Any Ideas?
