Weird crashing
so, a few weeks ago I was here talking about how i was getting a bunch of different blue screen errors whenever I would try and play a game for more then 10 minutes (Warcraft, Homefront, Crysis 2). Got a lot of responses, good ones at that, about driver updating, bios updating, doing a memory test, and one answer was, change my memory frequency from Auto, to 1333, because my ram was 1333, and auto might have kicked it up higher (cause the bios says Auto **two lower numbers**, 1333, and 1600). I updated to a SSD and wiped windows, and it SEEMED as though the bluescreen stopped, well they just came back, so i changed the frequency just now from Auto to 1333.
Haven't been testing long, started Warcraft and ran it for 5 minutes, even opened 2 warcrafts (mine and gf account) and duel boxed in Stormwind. Everything seems to be going fine.
But there is kind of a twist, 1, why would it do this NOW, and not 5 months ago, and also, whenever i run youtube at fullscreen, I get a driver fails and the computer restarts, pretty much the same thing it does in all my games. I haven't tried Youtube fullscreen since putting it to 1333, but I cant see why it would have an effect on it.
Just want to add in this is NOT a overheating problem or a driver problem. I've watched my temps, and they don't go over 55c, and I've updated my bios, motherboard and video drivers.
Would the problem be that since its set to Auto, it tryed to make it 1600 and my 500w power supply doesnt have enough to OC it to that? Thats the only answer i have come up with, But it just doesn't make sense of why NOW, and why youtube fullscreen. Specs
