| Re: random lockup on games My problem appears to be the same, here's what happens with mine. My Desktop is 100% stable as long as I don’t play games, I can run it for weeks Video encoding nonstop, but when I play games it will crash randomly locking up my PC till eventually the display turns off, this can happen after 30mins or several hours, and seems to happen more often if there is Internet activity at the same time (i.e. Downloading). All the event logs show is "unexpected shutdown". My Specs are: EVGA 680i SLI Deluxe motherboard. Intel E6600 Dual Core (tested stable at both 2.4 GHz and 2.92 GHz in memory diagnostics, and video encoding / 2D stuff). OCZ2N9002GK Dual Channel Kit (2x1024MB, 900MHz, DDR2). Hyper Type M 730watt PSU. MSI 8800GTX 768MB PCI-E 16x OC Edition (Engineering Pre-Release BIOS, i cant find an updated one anywhere). Samsung DVD-ROM & RW. Antec Gaming 900 Case. I have tried both Vista Home Premium versions the 32bit and 64bit made no difference. I bought my PC when the GTX card was the fastest one out there costing me a colossal amount of money at the time, and I have never been able to play games on it. I am going to give up on the PC as a gaming platform now if I can’t find a solution to this.
