    New Build Freezing Up During Certain Games

    I got it working! I reinstalled the BIOS since someone on the Intel website recommended that. Now I can play games just fine :) I feel like an idiot haha. Oh well. Live and learn I suppose.

    Ahh. That's not good news. Well. I'll contact Intel then and see if they can do anything about it. Thanks again. You're the one who helped me put the parts together for this machine, and it runs beautifully except for this problem. But really. Thank you for your time.

    New Build Freezing Up During Certain Games

    I ran Unigine Heaven and it locks up in exactly the same way, not even two seconds into the animations. And yes. It's currently at 4.4Ghz. And my aftermarket heat sink and fans keep it well below dangerous temps. I've returned it to it's 'stock' state at 3.5Ghz and it still has the problem.

    Sad to report that changing the OS did nothing :\ Would getting a graphics card fix this?

    Alrighty. I'm just gonna try that and if it doesn't work, I'll wait until I get a decent graphics card or something. Never really ran into an issue quite like this. Thanks for the suggestions! Both of you.

    New Build Freezing Up During Certain Games

    Windows 7 Ultimate. Thinking of switching to Windows 8. Think the OS could be the issue? That was hanging in the back of my mind. Garry's Mod is pretty much a modded Half-Life 2. I'll download 64-bit java and see if that does anything.

    New Build Freezing Up During Certain Games

    Hello all. I recently built my very first computer with no issues until this came up. So I built my computer, bought a Minecraft account, downloaded it, etc. I start up the game and about fifteen seconds after that, the computer just locks up completely. The only way to restart it, is through...

    32GB RAM for the heck of it? You don't think that's a bit overkill? And remember, It has to be under $1,200 Other than that, I like the first one though, just make the 16GB and say it's good. The only games I'll play is probably Minecraft and a few others. Nothing too graphically intensive.

    I'll look into those brands and see what I can find. I'm doing work in Pro Tools 10. Which requires tons of CPU and RAM to run smoothly with the amount of tracks I'll be working with. The extra speed on the HDD will just speed up the read/write process for big audio files and such.

    What's wrong with OCZ's? The reviews seem to contradict your opinion. And with the amount of writing and reading from that one drive, a higher RPM makes sense for the kind of work I'll be doing.

    Alright. I'll just keep the liquid cooling anyways and give it a shot. Thanks for all your help. :)

    Discussion Help a Fellow Sinner Build a PC? :)

    Okay. So. From what I understand from the guide, this method of overclocking doesn't involve going into the BIOS and such? I really don't wanna fry my CPU so I may just ditch the liquid cooler. Is the risk worth the reward?

    Discussion Help a Fellow Sinner Build a PC? :)

    Is there a good guide you can point me towards for overclocking? That will probably determine which route I go with the liquid cooler. Thanks for the help btw. Both of you.

    Hah. I've never overclocked a CPU before. I'm up for the challenge, but I really don't wanna mess it up haha. Would it be a waste to just leave it stock?

    Discussion Help a Fellow Sinner Build a PC? :)

    I see. So I should ditch the video card and stick with the on-board for the time being? And no. My mistake. Should've looked at the specs on the motherboard. Anything else other than those I should change up? Made some changes: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/EyY9

    So you want me to get the 2500k now? You said the 3570k earlier.

    Okay. Cool. So this would replace the current CPU I have in my list with no problems, right? I'll definitely switch it.
