Hello,

My new system, having had the heat sink problem solved, is now misbehaving.

Here are the specs :

Seagate SATAII NCQ 320GB 7200RPM 16mb Cache 1 14/9/2008 $103.00 Fail Report
DDR2 Corsair Twin2X (2048MB Kit ) 6400C4 2048Mb (2X1024MB)
XFX GeForce 8800GTX 768MB Dual DVI HDTV SLI PCI Express Video
Asus P5N32-E SLI 775 QuadCore nF680i-SLI 2xPCIEx16 SLIx16 RAID FW 2xLA
Asus 1814BLT-BLK 18xDVDRW SATA, LightScribe,BLACK Retail
Antec P182 Performance One Black ATX Mid Tower - NO PSU
Intel CORE 2 Q6600/2.4Ghz/2x4MB/1066FSB/LGA775/(GOSLACR stepping)
Thermaltake Tough power 850W with PFC cable Management PSU

It has crashed on every game I have tried it with, not immediately, always. There have been two bluescreens, one of which mentioned BAD_DATA_POOL

Can anyone please give me some insight into what the problem could be and if I need to provide some more info here?

Thanks.

Hmm, try updating your BIOS, maybe your video card is overheating? I used to have BSODs with my x1960xt after playing Battlefield 2 for a long time, but then I reinstalled the Omega drivers and everything worked fine...
