Why do my games crash?

[TheCrow]

I only play CSS and BF2, both games have developed a nasty habit of crashing

CCS - crashes after about 1hr from a fresh turn on, will crash, or freeze (depending how its feeling) crash gives a error messege of some sort of read from memory error at refrance XXXXXX.

BF2 - only crashes, just exits the game returning me to desktop. screen blacks out just as it crashes.


Iv ran memtest for 10hrs with no problems.

specs. amd x2 3800, 2gb geil value, lanparty mobo, SATA 160gb hdd.

thanx

Computer checks out as been fully stable, but it obvisly isnt.

Ill check for updated chipset drivers, all gfx are up to date. (maby i should go back to last ones?)

What voltege would u sugest for this mobo/ram combo?

 

[TheCrow]

using the "on bord" sound that comes with the DFI.

It not overclocked atall. Have tried running with no side, and with extra fans, still crashes

could be the sound card as u said energize, but if so only seems to effect the latest updates on both games (well bf2 just updated agin but u get what i mean)

thanx ill try that aswell updated sound drivers. Cant find anyothers out of date.
