hi all about a month ago my cpu was overheating then shutting down so got new fan sorted not overheating anymore but now computer is freezing when playing games cpu temps are fine as well as gpu temps i mem tested my ram (lots of times) with all the ram in and singuly as well.....
i dont know how to test motherboard or how to test gpu.
ive got riva tuner but cant see anything wrong there i have got a feeling it is my gpu but want to be sure before i fork out £200+ on a new one.
my hard drive has been wiped im very sure its not software.
just dont know what to do next (its really starting to annoy me :) :):mad:
any sugestions i would be gratefull

cheers Tomz0r

OH my cmos warning comes up but im sure thats just the battery has run out and isnt affecting why the comp is freezing ( I THINK)
 
What PSU are you using? Any overclock etc?

Can you do a chkdsk to make sure your hard drive doesnt have an physical damage to it.
 
This could be a variety of components causing this
PC just completely freezes and you have to do a hard restart?
What PSU are you running?
 
because the cmos battery needs replacing does this indicate could possibly be a psu problem because i thought the cmos battery was recharged from the mobo from power from psu? or am i barking up the wrong tree
(can u tell i dont know much about computers):)
