Hi everyone,


Recently I built a gaming rig for myself. Every time I try to play a game, my keyboard, mouse, headset, turn off and the image on my monitor freezes. After a few seconds, my monitor shows a "no input" box. This happens for all of my games, and sometimes even while just surfing the web. Here are my computer specs:


OS - Windows Vista Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 6001)


Motherboard - ASUS P5E3 Premium


CPU - 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad Q9450


RAM - 2 two gigabyte sticks


I have a front panel temperature reader that has a probe on my CPU, HDD, GPU, and one hanging freely for the case temperature. I monitor the temperatures both on the front panel display and the ASUS Ai Suite. They range from 85 (normal tasks) to 100 (playing games) degrees fahrenheit. I have 3 fans in the front of my case, a huge one on top, and 2 more on the rear, as well as a huge CPU heatsink and fan. I'm not really sure what the problem is, could someone please help.









A quick update:

My monitor stays on with the frozen image on the screen when it crashes. My GPU is at 110^F^ doing normal tasks (firefox, word, etc,) and when I play games it spikes up to about 120-130.


Hope this helps you better understand my problem.



Thanks
