ok any mobo suggestions..was thinking about the asrock extreme 4..or maybe a gigabyte equivalent.. and as cpu 2500k from the early ivy bridge adaptors, or a new 3570k?

thing is if i get a new mobo i OR hve to buy an outdated OR have to buy a new cpu aswell.. Is it possible that the north bridge has issues?Maybe temp issues?

but the 250gts worked without issues 2yrs,that's what's baffling me..and the 550 i tested is not that different from the 250gts (specwise)..Is it possible something broke on my mobo, so it now can't handle data of heavier cards or something? chkdsk still running, all ok as for now

already uninstalled ok small add-on: I have also tested with my bf's 560 and also, freezes, now back on the 8600 no issues Will do the chkdsk again from a cmd admin promt, will post back

Voila zip added (are these different events from system log? just curious). I'll adjust the ram voltage and timings, but again it would baffle me since before i had this ram i had ocz that needed 1.75v (so i had to put things manually aswell) and there i also had the issue..But still it's...

I wonder if there is a compatibility issue between the 250GTS and some other piece of hardware you have running in that system. It's possible but it seems unlikely since the system ran fibe for over 2yrs, only change was more ram, but the issues started before that. TBO troubleshooting problems...

Ok even with the other power cable I still got freezes, so I decided to put the 8600 back in..Again, no freezes.. So now I bought a HX650 from corsair and put it in just today, together with my 250gts..I will see if this solves the issue or not..I do hope so BUGGER Ok so once again, same...

ok but now waiting to see if it also happens with my other power cable..

hmm just had it 2 times..now I put my other videoo power cable (6+2) in, see it's not cable related :s 250 is still in friends pc, but it's looking less lice the card nox

small update, now had the 550 gti running for week (borrowed from my friend)Also uses one extra power (just like my gts250) and also no issues (except that although being a better model it has more issues with large maps than mine :s). I'm thinking that maybe something changed when I opened...

first of all! Thank you for your very informative and extensive reply.And sorry about the tardy response, there was some partying happening. I have read your post and all the links in it but have not yet acted upon them (the updating drv i did) because had no crash/freeze in 4 days since i...

Okay no crash/freeze in 4 days since i removed the card, BUT the card is in someone elses pc and appears to be functioning fine..So what do i do now?Only thing i can think of are very localized overheating (so i plan to clean the graphics card from top to bottom) ,maybe got a bit loose in the...

Since basically the only CRASH i had was due to my nvidia driver/card i decided to go out on a limb and use the old 8600gt from my bf instead of my gts250, and i have not had any crash since..but obviously it's too soon to judge, so I'm going to try it for a few days.Is this behavior something...

Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC Your PC's firmware doesn't support Secure Boot so you won't be able to use it in Windows 8. More info Only thing that pops..What you proposed (ram testing) I actually already did, although i was pretty sure it wasn't the issue, since i had freezing...
