Have a problem with the new i3 2100 set up - just bought all the parts from OCUK last week and I assembled it my self (not my first time). This set up is for a friend of mine and after some usage he is saying its getting an error.
First when he was watching cricket on an ICC streaming site, and again when browsing an online cloths shop, both times PC has just froze with lines on the monitor.
When I first installed all the components and os I tried running 3Dmark 06, just for a laugh to see how i3 2100 hd2000 graphics will cope but I can remember now having the same issue. PC just froze with multiple rows of coloured lines scrambled all over the monitor.

Any Ideas?

I am revealed to find out I am not the only one! I know that doesn't sound right but hey it feels good to not be alone in this case!
There is one thing which I would like to try out and see next time I visit him, I noticed that base clock is a little bit over clocked with P8H67-M Pro mobo. Can you check this in your bios and see if its the same. I think if I can remember correctly it was 103 not 100 as it should be.
Have not ordered any thing else yet, as my friend says he didn't get the error after that. Do you get the error when running 3Dmark2006?

You can put a web not by going to the contact us section of the OCUK web site.

I would like to check what iGPU frequency the i3 is running at and the bclk(base clock) of the mobo please.
Also the I would like to confirm what the mem speed its running at as well, H67 chipsets cant seems to run memory higher than 1333MHz.

Sorry for late reply, my PC is stripped down for cleaning and doing some mods. Still running with both side panels open and all the cables hanging out. (and I was doing some experiments with a slipstreamed windows 7 SP1 installation)

You can put a web note by going to the contact us section of the OCUK web site. I used this couple of times before when I had a problem with some case fans. RMA ENQUIRY is the section you need.

Couldn't find a number for intel only addresses in uk.

Please let me know if any thing changes with GPU and/or memory.
I have a spare HD4850, I might have to "lend" it to my friend if this issue resolves with a dedicated gpu.

To be honest I was bit bored with regard to the cricket match, it was.....uneventful.
