DD_Brando Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Ref. the sound devices x 2 issue: This may or may not be a problem. Some rigs do struggle with two active devices at full acceleration, some don't. I was more caught by the complications that the LifeChat x3000 added to the mix. I Googled up several reports of people having issues with that particular application. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B +1 Also as part of the troubleshooting exercise it is safe to say that removing extraneous applications/devices (especially if they feature in the BSOD as KMixer did) is a primary step. As I see it we have the following questions outstanding: 1. Did a Disk Check succeed, and did it find issue? 2. Voltages are they monitored and how do they look. 3. Temperatures - as above. DFI boards are good, I have 3 of them (AMD platform though) here. Monitoring utilities are good too. DFI SmartGuadian Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 1, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted February 1, 2009 To post images: 1. Get a copy of Irfanview (it is free) if you don't already have one: http://irfanview.com/ Get the Plugins too, very handy! 2. Install it and the plugins. 3. Now when you take a screenie (use ALT+Prt Scr to capture only the active window not the whole desktop ) run Irfanview and do a CTRL+V to past screenie in. 4. If you only want a part of screenie (you forgot to press ALT key for instance) use the mouse to drag a box around the area you want, then click 'Edit' > 'Crop Selection' It will now crop the image. 5. Save the screenie as a Jpeg file. 6. Attach it to a post here as per this screenie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
