GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H Intel Core i5-3570K G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB ZOTAC ZT-61102-10M GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB Corsair CX430 Power Supply Windows 7 x64 I recently bought a bunch of new parts to build a new gaming system. I'm having random crashes and I can't seem to diagnose the problem. I ram Memtest86+ and it came out passing. I ran CrystalDriveInfo and my hard drive is just fine. I have a brand new install of windows 7 x64 with all updates installed. Whether I use the Intel HD 4000 graphics or the GTX 650 TI graphics card it still crashes randomly. It seems to crash faster with the GTX 650 TI card which makes me think it's a mother board issue. If I try to do the Windows assessment that tests your system and gives you the score it will complete with 5.9 with the Intel HD 4000 graphics but if I try to do that same assessment with the GTX 650 TI it crashes. I've tried running Prime95 and I've gotten to 11 tests before it crashes, and I've also gotten to 20+ tests before it crashes. When I run Heaven Benchmark 4.0 graphics test on ultra it gets about 5 minutes into the test and the system crashes and reboots. So I don't think it's graphics or cpu related but I'm not sure. I need some advice from people who are better at diagnosing these problems.
So this Motherboard has both, onboard video. and you are trying to use a card...How does it run with onboard video ONLY ?
It does better with the onboard graphics but eventually it still crashes but it runs for way longer before it crashes. With the GTX 650 ti card it crashes within minutes with the onboard I can sometimes go an hour before it will crash.
