Im having a problem with this cpu I built last year. Ocassionally I get a bluescreen error when I use it normally. But when I try and run a labor Intensive program or video game it crashes and gives me a blue-screen error. When I run prime95 it gives me these results

Only thing I can think of is reformat my drive and see if that solves it.

I find it [B]extremely[/B] unlikely that that will fix the problem. I wouldn't recommend you do that. [quote=chadwin405;188581]AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Brisbane 2.7GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor [/quote] Have you overclocked the CPU and/or memory? If so, try dropping them back to stock speed and see if you still fail the stress test. What sort of CPU temperatures are you getting while idle and while under stress? You can use [URL="http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php"]SpeedFan[/URL] to check. [URL]http://www.heatsink-guide.com/content.php?content=maxtemp.shtml[/URL] says 65 C (149 F) is the max operating temp for a CPU like yours. If you're running at stock speed with low temperatures and still failing, you might just have a defective CPU. |

or defective memory or possible, but unlikely, defective motherboard or power supply |
