I built my new rig about 6 months ago and other than giving it an initial thrashing up to 4GHz OC on air when new I run everything at stock settings. I use Flight Simulator X a lot and after an hour or two flying the system locks solid. Everything else is fine - spreadsheets, word processors, windows media player, itunes etc. I tried re-installing all of the drivers but that made no difference. So I did a complete re-format and reinstall of XP taking it all the way back to SP3. Tried FSX which ran for a few hours then locked solid.
Wondering if the problem was hardware I ran the memory for 12hrs on Memtest86+ with no problems. But when I run prime95 on both cores it will fall over after four or five hours. I don't like this at all - but am I being too fussy or do I have a problem? And if there is a problem any ideas on how to fix it? (Temps - idles at 51C but maxes out at 63/64C according to Asus probe)
