Hi guys, not really sure which section to put this in so i stuck it in here.
Weird one this. I suspect this is something to do with my new graphics card and/or psu. I flashed to the latest mobo bios two days ago to rule out any possible conflicts when i installed my EVGA GTX 780 FTW. Re-ran WEI as it needed refreshing and it crashes the pc as soon as it starts the Direct3D 9 ALU assessment. I just can't get it to run that test without a crash followed by a restart. No error codes or anything. Games run fine and i looped Heaven for a couple of hours with no problems. How can the crappy WEI crash the pc? Could this be a conflict of some sort between my new card and 5 year old psu? When running Heaven i had GPU-z monitoring in the background and it would appear that there are voltage drops every 20-25 seconds, just for a split second but you can see a judder on the screen at the same time. Could this be something to do with this problem.
Spec in siggy, 3 month old install of W7 64bit Home Premium, all drivers are up to date, Nvidia driver 326.80. It's definately not temperature related. Any input would be much appreciated as this is doing my head in. I know it's only WEI but something so crappy is crashing my pc and i want to know why.
