This is the fun of computer gaming!

To start, since it appears that you ahve already replaced/upgraded all the parts save teh Mobo. If you could post some more details about the parts (manuf, model, full comp spec), it would help me/us in determining if you have a hardware config issue. That said...you could have a couple of things left to look at:

1. Is it overheating? Your mobo might be shutting the machine down if you don't have enough of a thermal solution. This will happen more often when playing games, etc...and can seemingly be random because your room might be cooler on some days so that the ambient doesnt contribut to the overheat.
- watch your temp monitor after playing for 30 minutes and see if its within 5-10 centigrade of the safety limit. If it is...this is most likely your problem.

2. Do you have enough power? or is your PSU old. You may have a draw problem if you are at or below 500 watts or if its old there might be a ripple problem.

3. Replace the motherboard. Its about the only thing you have left that you havent touched. all else fails I would start here before I just scrapped it all for a new system.


Wtf, he isnt sure? He either did or he didn't...its not generally one of those things you forgot that you did when repairing a machine.

I just replaced the HD a little while ago so i got a new OS and new drivers installed , I cant really post any details about the parts i have only a few

Not sure how to check that , i am not sure that can be the problem because we had that idea once too and he brought over a 1(what ever that messurment for power is ) Server power supply for me to use , it was about a 6 iches high and a foot long and had to sit outside of the comp and was still getting the random resets

Monster as in a good build?..
or just useing that as a term of speach lol

well i was thinking about getting a new motherboard anyways , a gameing one because i dont think he would of had the sense at the time to get a good one for games

Do you think the one i have now is ok?..

or what one should i get?.. Know a brand or name i can look at


BTW i baught assassins creed for this comp and it wont run , i have it all on low settings but when i get in the actual game it shudders and lags so bad , now i know i should be able to run that at leasts ..any ideas why?

i had an issue similar to this when i tried to push my game settings to max (ive got a gtx 260 in my rig). games would freeze up and the system would crash/lock, sometimes as often as 5 minutes into a game.

did some digging and eventually manually stopped the Nvsvc32 service (in Services), and havent had the problem since. hope this helps

old how it should of been a good one for the time (few years ago)

What should i look for in a processor

Edit i have ddr 2 ram i think

Random resets preceeded by a bsod sounds like power supply or at the least, overheating. Crank your fans up, replace power supply with at least 500W or so.
