Yes, I could but, If I run with 512MB ram and video card that was low end in the year 2001.... Whats my test going to be?  If I can't run the same programs (BF2 & Crysis) I can't recreate the error.  undecided ...At the moment im running a 3GHz at 2.9 and 200MHz RAM at 193 (pc-3200).  It seems to be more stable, but to convince me it has to run flawless for a week. P.S. I think computer crashed on destop again cry

Do you have a PC store near you that can test your PSU....Normally they will test it for free(at least here they do).

Sounds like either the PSU or memory..

Did you try to bump the memory voltage up slightly to see if the errors go away?

My antec 550 HE was only a few months old when it went screwy on me..Would randomly reboot, crash, freeze, not start, etc...New PSU solved every problem, and allowed me to overclock much higher..

What kind of hard drive are you using?  Sata or ATA?  My old rig had a bad ATA ribbon.  The ribbon looked fine, but must have had a broken wire in it..Sometimes it worked..Sometimes it didn't.  It rebooted when it felt like it.  Drove me nuts for a long time..

Good luck...I would have probably had the hammer out already.  knuppel2

You have said a while ago that your computer crashes when logging into your account, clicking shut down, starting a game, loading a BF2 map, exiting a game...

First we have to make windows stable without running BF2 and Crysis? try to swap your low end video card and it seems that their is no problem in memory as you scan on it..try also to run applications and games that is supported in current hardware component... If you make it stable, then i guess its your video card... try to swap video card that support your BF2 and Crysis, Then try playing on it...

I said in reply 12 page 1 that I found a bad memstick. Im running on a good one thus ZERO errors.  Overclocking till I found an error didn't take long.  At 205MHz fsb or 3.075GHz I ran into memory errors.  I tryed raising Vcore and Vmem, nothing.  fsb:mem ratio at 6:5, nothing.  This is really concerning because a 5MHz fsb overclock gets me errors, and I doubt its the cpu which normally runs at 3.013GHz.  The computer ran at 3.19 GHz giving me errors faster then I could exit them.  If running my cpu at 2.9GHz makes an error free computer (which it is), then Im content with that.
