it seems that every 2 times i boot F1 2010 or any game, the exe stops responding. this is driving me nuts, since i cant figure out why. i turned off all overclocks, loosened ram timings...i cant figure this out. any thoughts?

What driver are you using?

 

[blackspirerider]

started on the latest ATI drivers, they crashed every 2 mins, so i said **** those. and now im using like 9.1 i think, just because i was sick of the crashing....

reinstall OS or do system restore, it's hopeless at this point

Try running driver sweeper, then reinstalling a set of drivers that have worked for you in the past and see if that helps. For most people something around 10.4-10.6 works well stability wise.

When you uninstalled the latest driver did you use DriverSweeper? Install drivers 9.12 or 10.4 those were the most stable for me.

Memory fault?
My OC kept giving me lockups because of some instability on Crysis so I am currently running this CPU on Stock to see if the OC was the guilt.
But since you am on stock ATM as well I'd say it's either RAM or driver issues.
First of, uninstall your sound and graphics drivers and then use a CCleaner and DriverSweeper, then reinstall the drivers and see if the problems are fixed.

A re-install would be good.

Does this do it with any other games?

reset all bios options, going to check and see what it does over the next week. thanks to some of you for your help.
