Hello all,
I've had this problem for a little over a month now and I'm just frustrated I can't figure it out.
So, any game I play, regardless of the graphic settings I choose, will have (approximately) 30 second freezes every 10 seconds of game play. I can't access my dumps for some reason: I keep getting "access is denied."
I can post the stop codes and the details I get from BlueScreenView, though.
The STOPS are usually 0x0f4 and sometimes 0x07a. Now, when I bought a USB flash drive and tried to play my games on that, I would play fluidly with no freezes until a BSOD. THAT was interesting.
So, on my HDD, when I would play a game like Skyrim, I would walk for 10 seconds, and in the freeze, I would look at the textures and notice that they aren't really loaded, almost as if the game is freezing because info just isn't getting to the hard drive. When the game unfreezes, I notice a slight jump and the textures are fully loaded. When I look in Event Viewer after the BSOD, I can see tons of atapi controller errors, but ONLY when running games off the HDD, not when I run off the USB stick.
Here's what I've done so far:
Got a new PSU
Used 3 different sticks of RAM (so it's not a RAM problem)
Replaced HDD (so it's not a HDD problem, either)
Re installed Windows
Could it be a motherboard problem?
Specs:
C2D e6750
GT 640
GIGABYTE G41MT-S2PT
4 GB of RAM
Corsair CX 430
WD Black 7200rpm HDD
