Hi all,

Old faithful has started crashing (applications then OS become unresponsive and then a reboot). It's been running fine with this configuration for about the 6 months previous. It doesn't see to matter what is running (gaming or browsing) when it crashes or even left at idle, it happens normally between 30 to 90 minutes. Its spec'd as per the sig with a few changes, SSD and 4890, more RAM.

So far I've tried:

  • Checked temps
  • reinstalled OS
  • Swapped out RAM and happens with either set
  • Checked all the cables are secure
  • Tried a spare graphics card


Any ideas or suggestions would be really helpful as I'm defeated! Could it be the motherboard or processor? not that I could check either easily?

Thanks in advance

No not got another power supply to hand. I had initially ruled that out from it happening at idle too though? Thanks for your help.
