Well i finished the build but ran into probs first day (xmas day), keeps freezing....might be the power supply with all the fans and lights....gonna try and switch them off to see if it helps....heres a pic of wot it looks like finished.

Looks good mate

[Ya Mother]

I told him he could have my antec 900 when i get my new case...he says he likes his better ha ha. ...bless him. he likes the the lights.....the case fans are far to noisy especially the window fan.
Give it a while and im gonna have to tell him the case is crap and the antec is the way forward ha ha.

Well jacks rig didnt even get going...spent 2 days trying to sort it out....eventually found the problem but no cure...the problem started hitting people about a year ago and ive read loads of so called solutions but cant find a definate fix for this......heres a link to the problem.....http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=dis...ient=firefox-a
Basically it just freezes all the time when playing games....and screen goes black for a few seconds and then the error message which is on the link.

The main game i play is bf2142, and the last two driver version from nVidia for my cards (and it seems any card) have had issues - when u die the screen goes (flickers) black. So i'm seriously considering changing all my cards to ATI. If the drivers don't work right in BF2142 i don't want to know
COD4 was fine but - i don't care about that, BF2142 has to work right
Suffice to say I getting very piss*d off with nVidia

[Ya Mother]

After reading a bit more it seems to affect ati cards aswell.....so im at a loss as wot to do now....ive built him a rig thats unusable??? he cant play games on it? I cant believe nobody has fixed this problem...it started a year and a half ago. do i just bin put it in the bin and get him a x-box? wot happens if i get the same thing happen to my rig after ive spent loads of money on it....this has really peed me right off.

What os are you running?
And what drivers are you running? the ones that came with the card?

Did you try THIS?

If vista (and pre SP1) I let it install sp1 before installing any drivers, and i try and stop it install the ones from ms update

All looks good. My only beef is the Abit mother board!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!

Vista ultimate...and the latest 8800 gts/512mb ones....even tried the older ones....it worked fine on my pc with same os and drivers...and i didnt let windows install the drivers i done it myself...and then let windows do it.. yes ive read that and loads of others the abit motherboard was recommended by a guy who works at overclockers uk to match the E5200 chip....apparently theyre a good match.

Hmmm the only thing i can think of is to download the latest intel chipset driver, maybe a driver in that is misbehaving.

Latest INTEL Drivers (used it yesterday on my P45)

have you formatted the disk and tried a fresh install after finding this issue? I often find myself installing twice when i'm using new hardware, after having a DOH moment or a niggling problem, if u see what i mean.

Also are you still using that PSU? Maybe not getting enough pwr?
