I've just recieved my build and put it all together. After playing shogun total war2 for a couple of hours it BSOD'd with the following error

On Mon 21/03/2011 14:55:01 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: Unknown ()

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: Unknown .
Google query: Unknown WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

I've run memtest for a couple of hours, and prime-95 and all seems ok.

It sounds like a hardware problem right?

any help on this would be fantastic :)
 
heres the info from HWmonitor

Right so I've replaced my brand new Radeon HD 5670 with my old HD 4870, and everything seems fine now :). The weird thing is that my 4870 gives almost double fps as I was getting on the 5670.

Do you guys think I just had bad drivers on the 5670 or is it a hardware problem?
 
the 5670 doesnt take any power connectors, the 4870 take 2 pci-e connectors

I cant believe the 4870 should run faster than the 5650, I thought the cards got faster with each iteration
 
:P I might have to send that card back then, I just read that it was the best card you could buy for £60 on Toms Hardware. What's overclockers policy on returning items like?

Update on the BSODs. After playing Shogun Total war for about 5 hours, with the old 4870, the computer blue screened. So I got rid of the overclock on the CPU+MOBO+RAM, and it seems to run fine now.

It's weird because it never got that hot with the overclock on. Maybe the PSU isn't powerful enough. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-042-BQ should be ok though right?
