Ok, some programs lock my computer up. I am not sure if it's hardware, or software based. My computer literally locking up, forcing a hard reboot. Programs like Skype, Crysis Warhead (Regular Crysis runs fine), fallout 3 with an update higher than 1.4, etc. Specs: Radeon 3850 (512mb) WD Blue 640 gig (Sata) 6 Gigs of generic ram DDR2 800 Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 45nm 1.124V OCZ 700WATT Stealth Extreme Motherboard is a "Gateway FMCP7AM nForce 730i rev. b1" Bios: "American Megatrends Inc - R01-A0 - 10/31/2008" Vista Home Premium x64 Temps: [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/uwn1gx5z6_info.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/a80yd34m3_info2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/gf8249uxa_info3.jpg[/IMG]
Temps?
[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;17296449]Temps?[/QUOTE] Just put them up.
Any other programs other than skype and crysis?
[QUOTE=EltocV3;17298371]Any other programs other than skype and crysis?[/QUOTE] GTA IV, HJ Split, Batman Dark Asylum demo. Plenty of others, but you get the hint.
Also, I forgot to mention, GTA IV worked for about an hour and then I stopped playing, went to bed, and the next morning it locked up.
Small update, I purchased the new "Red Faction" today, it also locks my computer. Do you guys think it might be GFWL? I don't see why HJ Split would lock it then.
Nice alt check what direct x you are using.

Could be faulty RAM.
[QUOTE=Omolong;17357701]Could be faulty RAM.[/QUOTE] Memtest doesn't report any errors. It is probably my HDD, since it gives noticeable clicks every now and then, but I cant do smart scans or anything, because it is connected to a raid controller... My motherboard.
