Asked by a friend to check over their PC (which i may buy for a very good price) if i can sort this problem out
MSI P67 chipset with a 2500k @stock 8gb xms3 and a GTX570ti running windows 7
600w corsair PSU (crappyish one)
The thing is this PC plays games fine. The PSU is rated ok enough i would have thought...
It will lock up on windows desktop often when just browsing????
This is what ive been told.... Im yet to get a look at it. Thing is the OS will probably be in Swedish and diagnosing everything takes twice as long :O
If its not crashing under gaming loads but when idle... Im perplexed and guessing what could be the problem ?
Bad PSU or Faulty Ram? Could a faulty HDD/SATA controller cause that? It is a B revision p67 so that should have been replaced.
More i think about it the more im inclined to go with HDD fault. Anyone got opinions or pre-pre diagnosis? :O - infact i think i remember something about the Intel chipset drivers around that time... I hope its that... Easy fix Iastor.sys.
