parsec Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 You said it Peanutz! That is so true! I mentioned a UPS, since they can cause PSs to act strangely, and even limit their power output. You can monitor your memory usage with the Windows Performance or Resource monitors, while running your game, and see how much is used. If you are maxed-out of memory, your game crashing would be likely caused by that. Very weird about your Win 7 disk, the 32 and 64 bit thing. Don't know what to tell you about that one...

Meowmix2 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Negative on the UPS then. My RAM during game usage is about 60%. The CPU usage stays pretty consistent at 20%. Re-installed Windows, still crashes. I believe I'm going to RMA my power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsec Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I imagine you monitor your GPU temps, they aren't to high? Might as well do that with the PS, hopefully eliminate that as a source of the issue, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowmix2 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yeah, it sits at a pretty consistent 85 degrees Celsius. Over heating was one of the first things I checked, but EVGA ruled that out. I'm going to RMA the power supply only to rule it out. Any body have any tips to see if the MB is causing the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baffo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hello, I had the same problem with an EVGA 570 HD SC. It was a problem in the card core voltages. Here you can find how to resolve it. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowmix2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Alright, so I received my new power supply today and hooked it up with no problems. Like everyone thought, the power supply is not the issue. Within an hour of playing World of Tanks I began to experience the same random crashes. I'm beginning to believe this is a motherboard issue like several people have mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 3, 2012 I have spent the last 30-45 Min reading your posts and everyone eases and I agree and think that replacing the MB may solve the problem but I would suggest speaking with Gigabyte and see what they say. But a few things I would check from some things you mentioned. 1. Check the stop error code or codes at http://www.microsoft.com/technet. 2. You stated you have a 1 Terra byte HD do you have the whole HDD as the C drive or split into smaller partitions and how large is the C partition. And what is the version of your O.S. 3. Have you tried another HDD with a fresh install? 4. Do you have the latest MB BIOS and chipset drivers installed? 5. do you have the latest Video driver installed and have you tried going back a version or two on the Video driver version? Does it make any difference? 6 What are the CPU and MB temps when you see the system fail? 6A. Does the MB have active cooling on the North bridge? How is your case cooling? Just a few things I would check with that type of symptom don't get me wrong here but many times it is a simple thermal issue with this type of symptom. Have you noticed any part on the MB that seems hotter than others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowmix2 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I looked up the error codes and saw that they were pretty generic "Application Hang" errors. The HDD is on just one, not split into many different portions. I have not tried another HDD, but have reformatted several times. The OS is the most up to date version as are all of the video and MB drivers. The temperatures remain stable, even at the moment of crash. I am unsure if the MB has active cooling, but the case has two fans in addition to a fan on the VGA and Processor. The only side of the case that is against something is the only solid side where no air flow was present before. I haven't noticed any part of the MB that is particularly hot. Anything in particular I should be looking for? I've sent the MB out for an RMA, so it'll be a little while before I get the rig back up and running to check.

Meowmix2 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 So I rma'd and received my new MB. Rig still does the same thing. The only thing I haven't switched out is the RAM and the HDD. Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Are you aware of the buggy NVidia drivers for the 470 and the 480? Grab a copy of Driver Sweeper install it but don't run it yet. Uninstall All of the Video driver suite one at a time uninstalling the actual video driver last. Reboot into Safe mode; run Driver Sweeper. Reboot into normal Windows. Run a registry cleaner. Reboot. Once back in Windows, Do a custum install of the Nvidia driver suite. Do NOT install either the NVHDAudio driver or the NVidea updating software. Took a bit to figure it out, they're buggy as (explicative deleted) with certain chipset drivers and/or chipset driver versions. Freezes, Blue Screen Crashes, and complete "no warning" restarts. http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 8, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 8, 2012 Did we replace the PSU previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigc2006 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I had a reboot problem Evga told me to check the voltage using the motherboard monitor system and promptly replaced my G2 1000 w power supply for a fluctuation from 12.096 - 12.000. They said that was too much being over the .05 %After getting the replacement unit no more reboot problem the power supply stays at a constant 12.096. It does make a difference when the power supply has more than a .05% fluctuation.:evil: Evga was satisfied with my motherboard monitoring system for there evaluation of the supply and promptly cross shipped me a new one plus paid the shipping both ways . Thank you EVGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
