Hello, i built my first computer, and i feel my method was off...
it was a case of...ooo shiny and can afford...buy!
Im currently running:
OCZ petrol SSD 128 gig
windows 7 home premium 64bit
8 gig of ram
Asus Nvidia Geforce GTS 450
AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad core processor (unlocked extra clocks to 4 with asus core unlocker)
Motherboard- M5A78L-M USB3 by asus.
The motherboard, ram and processor came as a package, i read on the box something about "bulldozer technology"?
Cant remember the exact name of my powerpack but if i remember correctly its a 750 watt.
The issues i am having snce building are as follows..
When tabbing out of wow i somtimes get a blue screen that seems to be doing a memory dump? i always wait till it gets to 1--% before resetting as instructed.
I cant run 2 24" monitors off my graphix card as if i do one the screen im gaming on will freeze every few seconds and i get really bad FPS spikes.
upon start up it always asks me to run repairs but this doesnt seem to do anything.
Lastly, if i over clock my card thrhough the Asus smart doctor and play a game it will somtimes close the game and reset the cards clocks. this is a good thing, yes. so i dont over clock my car now.
However my computer will somtimes just close wow on standrd settings if it seems to be getting too warm. is there a way around this? my case has 2 exhause fans, a 8inch front turbine and 2 side cold air intakes, aswell as a large built in fan on the GFX card and CPU.
Sorry its a badly written post but im rushing through frustration, any help will be appreciated,
Thanks
