DD_Brando Posted January 31, 2009 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

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

APHill Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Here are a couple of screenshots of the smart guardian noe at rest the second (slightly higher temp) I had been playing for about 30 mins. Hope the screenshots are viewable. Edit by Rog: Removed attachments - both are corrupt Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 1, 2009 1. DDz Quorum 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
APHill Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Here is I hope a screenie of my temps and voltages. I used ifanview. Hope it works. When I ran the test I had been playing Call of Duty 5 for about 30 mins Quote
