Hi guys,

i upgraded recently, PC as in sig, mobo changed from an agp msi board, and 6800gt. formatted HD, fresh install of windows, sp2, updates, blah, using nforce 4 driver from nvidia website, cat 6.4, direct x 9.c.

the damn thing is freezing during nwn and oblivion, i haven't installed any other games apart from FM06, which is fine. it doesn't do it while surfing the net, etc. when it freezes the pc locks up completely, requiring a reset.

i've re-installed drivers, direct x, defragged, ran virus scans, spyware, etc, ran mem test, memory seems fine.

does anyone have any ideas? i'd rather not re-format if i can possibly help it :(

is it possibly the gpu or is it a red herring?
 
no, everything is at stock. tbh i thought the psu would be ok, its not an atx one but its a decent wattage and make :)
 
been away for a bit, done a fresh install of windows and tried a stick of RAM at a time, and its still doing it. updated to cat 6.5 also.

anyone else got any other ideas?
