Problem with computer freezing during games.

Unconditional · 2 Apr 2006 at 18:05

The computer used to crash every 20-30mins with a blue screen of death and error codes(0x0000007f and sometimes 0x0000008E)

I uninstalled AVG and since then I have not had any BSOD's, however whenever I try and run a game, it will crash within 5-60 minutes. It has managed to restart itself once.

I have done a memory test and it had 0 errors (using memtest) and I have updated the video card drivers via the nVidia website.

Is there any other steps I can do to try and work out what the problem is?

AMD duron 1300
6200 Geforce 256mb
Not sure what the actual motherboard is, the manual just says a 830CN/830CH/830CF motherboard.
Windows XP SP2

We reinstalled Windows last week, it was reinstalling Windows that has started causing all these errors.

I get this if I have oc to far, with not enough volts, I would also at the memory

We're not overclocking anything.

The computer is also running very low temperatures(mid 20's)

Just d/led CPU-Z and its saying the motherboard is a SiS 730.

The memory is one stick of 512mb, not sure if its DDR or SDRAM though as CPU-Z won't tell me.

Any suggestions?

Do I have any options other than to reformat?
