I wasn’t sure where to put this so i uhh.. put it here. OK, well the problem is that while playing 3d intense games (doom 3 even the much older hitman 2) i can play for a few minuets then my computer freezes with a sound loop. Some times ill get this BSOD “STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151)
“MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION”” but often its just the freeze and sound loop. i read on the error at Microsoft and it said it could be bad pws, bad memory, or a bad card. Well I’m running a 300watt pws when my board says it needs a 350min. That COULD be it BUT.. in my bios i stumbled across the AGP aperture setting (32 64 128 256) default is 64. When i set it to 128 i can play a game for about 3 mins then i get the freeze. At 64 i can play for 15 mins then freeze. memory problem? nope, i ran memtest86 for 46 minuets straight and completed the test 6 times with 0 errors. also i ran a few memory benchmarking programs to see if i could stress the ram and cause an error, but i didn’t get one. Also i ran the probe tool that came with my mobo and logged the temp of my cup. It’s usually about 117-120 F when i get a crash so i don’t think thats it. And my system is 100% stock! no OCing.
The big bottle neck i have on my computer is my >PCI< geforce fx5600. But even with this sub par card i can run doom at 40-50fps at low quality and hitman mid quality at 90. also have the latest drivers, have tryed uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and tryed Directx 9.0A B and C (in order heh)
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
