**HELP NEEDED*** New Prebuild from OCuk
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a couple of issues with my system, I recently purchased the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-213-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat= battlefield war rush i5 2500k pre build with an ASUS GTX570 and 8gb 1600mhz ram, which I had installed in a BitFenix Shenobi case.
Now, the first and foremost issue is the fact that i'm getting in-game crashes whilst using the latest Nvidia drivers on WOW and BF3. It happens more often in WOW & what happens is that the screen goes black and then I get a message along the lines of 'NVIDIA DISPLAY HAS STOPPED WORKING AND HAS RECOVERED'.
I've tried several things from google searches to resolve this including:
*Nvidia control panel, set to single display performance mode
*Disabling the HD audio
*Changing power settings in nvidia control panel to performance instead of adaptive
*Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers
So, then I decided to download and run PRIME 95 to test the overclock stablity of the CPU and RAM.
Using the default settings I ran a burn test and saw the REALTEMP core temps reach 98 on each core pretty quickly which prompted me to shut the program and system down to prevent damage.
The system is overclocked to only 4.4 ghz, and i'm sure OCUK are supposed to stress test this system prior to shipping so surely the CPU shouldnt get that hot that quick?
The mobo is a GIGABYTE Z68AP-D3
The CPU cooler I believe is a Xigmatek Red Scorpion CPU Cooler, which comes as part of their overclocked pre build.
I upgraded the PSU to 750w ocz zs.
Please help?!?
