I have never seen this problem before but all of a sudden my computer has done it twice within 3 days.

It begins by freezing, if music is playing it will repeat a millisecond part of the song over and over for about 20 seconds then start working again for a minute. Only to crash completely and display the below image on the monitors.

At the time I had a YouTube video playing in the background, Avast Full scan and my IG stock charts running which use JAVA. Running in dual monitor mode

i5 2500k 3.3Ghz (Overclocked to 4.2 at the moment)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2
Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic Edition 1GB
Cooler master Silent Pro 850W Modular PSU
Cooler Master HAF X
Crucial 12GB (2x2GB and 2X4) DDR3 1600MHz Ballistix Memory Kit
Asus P8P67 Pro R3 P67
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB
Crucial 64GB Real SSD C300

Just did it again but Blue screen this time, only thing open was scan, this site and music. Dual screen was on.

Any help would be fantastic
 
Looks like a GPU problem..

Have you checked all conections and fans (still spinning?) in your rig?

You noticed any high temps lately?
 
using the latest mb bios? and does your memory support x.m.p? if not how much dram voltage and vccsa or vccso voltage are you using? its probably ram or cpu memory controller related,esp with 16gb of ram
 
I think it's your GPU.

I had a 6850 but it was made by XFX and it only done something very similar when I tried to OC it.

However I never noticed looping audio.

I would make sure everything is at stock and try again and then report back.
 
Crucial 12GB (2x2GB and 2X4) DDR3 1600MHz Ballistix Memory Kit

mixing memory? its either gpu memory or cpu imo
 
Doomedspeed: That was my first guess as well GPU, Fan is fine and idle on dual monitor is 50c which I hear is normal. Connections are all good.

wazza300: I will check that. It has 2X http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-168-CR and 2X (similar but no exact details at the moment)
As for dram voltage and vccsa or vccso voltage ill do a restart and check

Adisan: Ill double check but it should be up to date
 
Memory Frequency is set to 1600MHz
DRAM is set to "Auto" and is at 1.656V
Cpu is jumping around +1.120V
12V is at +12.288V

harshuk : I haven't tried overclocking the GPU in over a year as there is no need at the moment, It's set to default.

wazza300: As far as I am aware mixing memory is ok if the memory is from the same make and has the same clock speeds ?

that's true but sometimes it can cause problems

did you manage to find vccio or vccsa voltage?
 
I know this thread is fairly old now but I'll throw my 2 pennies in. I had this problem with an older GFX card before and it was due to overheating. As someone said check the fans and make sure the case is well ventilated. Also make sure the PCI-E power connectors from the PSU to the Graphics card (if it needs any) are plugged in correctly and haven't been damaged or worn (if they've been at an awkward angle it's possible the cable has become damaged over time).

As Ripshod it's possible it's the Vram. Since most GPU coolers concentrate mostly on the GPU core. Maybe you need to re-apply TIM to the graphic's card's points it's possible the other components apart from the GPU are experiencing higher temperatures than normal?

Another possibility is that your PSU might be having difficulty providing sufficient power for the GPU and that's causing it to crash? PSU might need replacing? If you have a PSU tester try it to see if that's the issue :)

VCCSA Voltage = 0.92500
VCCIO Voltage = 1.05000

Might run a GPU benchmark/stress tester and see if it crashes again. At least then it narrows down the problem.

Thanks for all the input.

with that much ram you can try with 1.08-1.1v vccio,see if that helps
 
wazza300: Done that and now running Prime with heavy Ram usage.

Checking the Event viewer brings up

"There was insufficient disk space on volume C: to grow the shadow copy storage for shadow copies of C:. As a result of this failure all shadow copies of volume C: are at risk of being deleted."

I assume the above error is just simply lack of space on C drive, could this be causing any problems. Also another error which is very common and present around the time of the crashing is

"The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, is not ready for access yet."

Could those errors be cause the problems ?
 
Had something very very similar on girlfriends PC, returned it to stock CPU and Memory settings and it went away, I haven't investigated what the overall cause was.

So yeah, first thing to do is reset to stock and go from there.
 
Reseated GPU and booted up,did a restart and now it won't boot again.

Light on motherboard just above GPU (VGA LED) comes on then turns off as the GPU gives a blow of air( probably computer restarting)

Any ideas ?
