Unstable PC

[Tesla]

Trying to get to the bottom of a customer's unstable PC.

Have left it idiling for 9hours and it hasn't crashed which it apparently has been doing regularly.

I'm now running TOAST and within 2 minutes of starting TOAST the Nvidia Display driver crashed and the display reverted to some old school 4-colour mode.

Anyway, toast is still running though.

Would this indicate a possible problem?

Any other apps you can advise to run to stress various component?

Oh, memtest passes ok.

As I do not have the PC connected to the internet at the moment and the customer does via a USB ADSL modem this could also be the cause although there are no traces of spyware or virus on the system.



EDIT - It seems Toast crashed the PC. However, the CPU temp was 50degreed and System 32degrees.

Dodgy PSU do you think?

Try different display drivers.

Check the graphics card cooling situation.
What gpu is it, is the PSU big enough to power it for intensive stuff such as games and benchies ?

I dont know if this application will do what you want it to do but it is very good and I use it...

Did the colour like this because it is all one word, and if it was in same colour, you may not realise the name
