A couple of days ago i assembled my brand new pc.

radeon hd 7950
2x corsair vengeance 2x4gb (cmz8gx3m2a1600c9r)
corsair HX1050

after a while, after i had it all sett up with windows and stuff
then i installed crysis 2 and started playing i got a little in to the first scene in the submarine.
Then the pc froze and i lost signal to my monitor, i then i turned the pc off and rebooted .
when the pc rebooted a error message came up "overclocking failed"
even though i havent done any overclocking
i then updated the bios and enabled xmp profile.
i am currently able to run windows, but can play any games or do anything cpu og gpu intesive.
i have tried every ting i can think of.
Please help 😧

Any help at all would be very appreciated

Hey my friend I had hoped your problems would be over.

Could you look in the Windows event viewer and see what the cause of your PC fail was?

[trommenissen2]

i checked the the event viewer
all the critical events where caused by som called "kernel-power"

[HiVizMan]

Do you have any numbers or error?

I am going to guess what your error code was in the event viewer. Event ID 41 is a power state problem (usually a driver taking too long) but actually just indicates that an unexpected shut down happened.

[trommenissen2]

yepp the code is 41

the driver you are talking about? is it the video card driver?
or any other driver?
if so could a simple driver update fix anything?

[HiVizMan]

Well the only way to know which driver would be to have a full dump of your log.

But it might be worth while completely removing the older driver and doing a good clean up of any bits that get left behind. Then do a clean fresh VGA drivers install.

And no do not send me your dump log. 🙂 At least not yet.

This is can also be a RAM related error....:( I would really suggest trying some different RAM....

If you don't have other Ram but should ever wish to purchase, i highly recommend:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226191

I'm Canadian hence the .ca ... If your in the states, www.newegg.com Search: Mushkin Black 8gb

[trommenissen2]

i dumped the log and did a fresh install of the catalyst driver
it still freezes at the same point and its the kernel power again

sadly i only have this ram so i cant try another brand
and i live in norway, so very few web sites thats actually available

i am going to try to boot with only one dimm
and try to run the game hoping for the best

You spotted the Vengeance didn't you. 🙂
