Pc probs
4. October 2012 - 15:43
Hello all, I have a problem with my pc. When I play games (Q3, Bf3, Age of Empires Online etc.), my pc sometimes crashes. Sometimes I get a bluescreen saying: a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval[=Arial, sans-serif], [/] and sometimes it just restarts saying nothing. This is what I have tried so far: re-installing drivers and programms, updated BIOS, re-installed games. Here are my pc specifications ( its's in dutch, sorry)

Re: Pc probs
hmm, i've heard people here talking about that it's better to make your q3 running with one core, instead of 2 or more,so maybe you could try with that.

Re: Pc probs
Maybe you tweaked your memory too bad.

Re: Pc probs
I think Pure Power L7 430W KOELER is too weak to run this configuration and bf3 will burn this psu

Re: Pc probs
Revert your hardware settings back to their default (CPU/gfx/memory), i.e. don't overclock! Also reset your BIOS to it's defaults and see if that helps.

Re: Pc probs

Well, I finally got my pc working again, so I'm back!
For those who care, this is what I've done: I first sent my processor back to get it checked. They said it was working fine, so I had to test all my hardware. I started with putting another processor in. It worked fine, but that processor was weaker so I wanted to know what also could be the problem. Then I replaced my motherboard by almost the same one from MSI. It worked all fine. So I guess my motherboard just wasn't compatable with my processor.
