Hi all,
This is my problem,
for the last few days i have been having extremely weird hangs, under what i would call light use of the pc. Opening browsers / steam , streaming something on youtube. All these things can cause the pc to hang for 10 - 15 seconds.
the mouse and keyboard responds however the windows and desktop are non responsive.
Originally i had thought my issue to be memory related
so i had posted a thread in the memory forum
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18095944
Anyways after eliminating the memory as a potential root cause, i thought i would switch to my old 4770 (from 5970)
and from what i can tell the system appears to be stable.
I should also add that my pc seems to crash when playing some games
COD MW2 and Unreal 3 being some of them
Mass effect seems to be unaffected.
i havent overclocked the 5970, well i tried but i couldnt get the xfxovervolt tool to work and i didnt know any other way, so i set the catalyst settings back to normal.
Any idea what may be going on here ?
:::EDIT:::
Something i forgot to add
I have also tried formatting the pc and doing a fresh install, this has made no difference
And i have put a 5970 waterblock on.
The install of the block was simple, and no stress on the graphics card board during install into pcie slot.
