It seems I've fixed the problem for now, I reset the BIOS settings and the startup repair seemed to of fixed it. Also, S.T.A.R.S., this was a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Thanks.

So basically, when playing Battlefield 3 with friends, every hour or so my computer will start making a loud screeching noise through the headphones. My friends can hear it too through skype. Then everything crashes - BF3, Skype, Chrome etc. My computer doesn't BSOD, but things start...

Bah, already got the 955. The 550 i bought should've been a BE when I bought it so i could probably take it back and complain lol... What voltages do you have your 955 at atm and how high can you OC it?

It's still not working ATM...

Believe it or not I can't adjust the multiplier speed. I tried changing it to 16.0 - press enter and it changes back. I have never known why adjusting the multiplier doesn't work. For your convenience - [EDIT: I haven't adjusted the CPU voltages, so don't believe what CPU-Z shows.

Well, I just managed to pick up a used Phenom II 955 for $110 on eBay. Good enough for me, next cheapest in stock was $140 + Post Cant wait to get this running and OC'ed in my PC :) Reckon I could get it to 3.6/3.8GHz stock volts? One other off topic question - Currently when I OC my CPU the...

I'm currently running a 550 at 3.6GHz, but it's starting to lag behind in CPU intensive games like BF3 and there's a little bit of lag during heavy multitasking. I don't want to change sockets, as my budget is less than $200. I will be getting 8GBs of DDR3 CL8 Ram soon, and a 560Ti so I...

Thanks, I'll most likely get the G.Skills from Mwave

As the title says I want some fast, relatively cheap ram. I was looking at G.Skill RipJaws but the timings are 9-9-9-24 and I want CL8 ram... Anyway i'm looking to spend around $70 + shipping but I can go higher if it's worth it. Australia sites only - www.pccasegear.com, www.msy.com.au...

Most likely demand the $80 build fee back, on top of the cooler fee. They wasted ~hours of his time driving forth and back to South port to drop it off and then to pick it up. Some people will never learn.

Okay, trying 11.9 now. I will let you know in a few hours if the freezing stops. Thanks.

I'm currently running 11.6 - and have been for a while. Do you think I should downgrade/upgrade to 11.9 or just completely uninstall them for a while? I have a feeling that this isn't the problem, but still willing to give it a shot. Thanks.

UPDATE: Computer is still freezing. Was watching an .avi file and just froze, as normal. Any other ideas?

I will try that now. But my CPU has been OC'ed for 5+ months, stress tested with Intel Burn Test so I don't think that's the problem. But I'll try. If that doesn't work, any other suggestions? I might borrow a HDD and install an OS on there and see if the problem stops. EDIT: Trying now. My...

Hey guys. As the title says, my computer will randomly freeze. It usually happens within 30min - few hours of the PC being turned on. When the computer freezes nothing happens - no black/blue screen, it just freezes exactly where it was. I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn it...

The Seasonic PSU is much higher quality compared to the OCZ, as mentioned by linkin and other members. It's also quieter and can push closer to it's stated capacity. Coolermaster don't make great PSU's and for a build his price you'd want the best quality PSU possible. The Kingston SSD isn't as...

Sounds good. I'm thinking of an OCZ Agility 3 60GB But i'll keep the 2TB hard drive for now. There will be a lot of stuff transferred to the computer. Any recommendations or changes I should make? We're having a look at cases now. EDIT: would it be worth paying an extra $120 for an i7 2600K...

I'm happy with my PSU at the moment, I know Corsair make higher quality PSU's but the TX-650 is $139 so I think for $99 the OCZ Modular 750w is a good buy. I've changed the GPU to the Saphire 6970

Okay, firstly no OS/Monitor/Keyboard or Mouse will be needed. This computer will be used mainly to play the latest games at high/max settings on a 1080p monitor (i.e BF3) Here's what I was thinking.... Coolermaster Storm Scout $94 OCZ Agility3 60GB SSD Seagate Barracuda 2TB $84 Intel...
