Mem dump (video game)

[awesomebilly]

well, I just spent like 1300 on this new computer

DFI-Expert SLI. (not sli though)
7900Gt 256.
2 GB Gskills RAM.

When I play age of empires 3, After about 10-15 mins.. the mem(RAM) Crashes and Dumps memory. (the Blue Screen)


any Advice? I have all my BIos settings default.

you have a DFI board. go to the bios -> genie settings -> enable memtest and reboot. Let memtest run for awhile and see what you get in terms of errors. Seeing as how its a mem dump this would be the first thing i would check.


Also check dfi-street.com - dfi tech support forums. they are a major help with dfi boards and may be able to provide some more help. Make sure you read the rules though, there sticklers but it is helpful.

other than the color of the screen, waht did the error say?
machine excpetion check? non_monkey_paged_bazooka? Error_OMFG_WTF_09?

Go to dfi-street and see if they have proper timings / setup for g.skill ram.

If they're all on SPD, and it's not just crashing to the desktop, but bluescreening, only when playing a game, I would try some otehr basic troubleshooting first, even video drivers, or mainbord utilities.
