Could well be a bus problem as well,how many pci-express x16 slots do you have on your motherboard? if you have another switch it to that slot but in some cases the controller mite winge and ask you to switch back to port one. What O/S are you running? does this happen on any other game?

Hi, run prime 95 to check for stability issues, also run memtest86 for any memory issues. Run HD Tune to check if you have any dodgy read speeds. other than that it will be power supply unit, gpu is using to much power causing your psu to crap out. I would invest in a good brand psu around 500w.

what is your cpu speed to in the bios? you tried resetting the cmos? incase there is an issue with the system bus controller?

yes everthin is compatible, I would go for another raptor 300gb hard drive and use the onboard raid for a raid 0 lookin at about 240-250mb/s read and write speed, also enable caching. 850w psu will be fine for that setup make sure it's a good brand such as corsair ocz, enermax etc. I wouldn't...

Nice setup are you going to be using a software raid 1 within centos?

I would upgrade the power supply unit 375w is way to low especially when your playing games it will require more power and if it's a cheap psu it will run not even close to it's stated output. seems to me the gpu is not getting enough power when playing graphics intense games therfor causing it...

have you got the latest graphics card drivers installed? what's the idle temp of the graphics card? It could also be a power supply unit fault, what brand and wattage psu are you using? Have you checked in device manager under gpu's to see if it has any errors listed?

have you tried another port on the routers switch? tried hard resetting your router?

He has more processing cores that makes a difference and it's also down to what the system bus is set and and also wether yours and his ram are dual channel configuration. also if he has a raid 0.

Upgrade your cpu to the cheapest core 2 quad then invest in a good cpu heatsink such as thermalright ultra 120a and then get overclocking, could get your system bus running at 1600mhz, set the vcore to the max the cpu handles after all it's just a cap and the pwm will adjust the voltage to...

seems like you had stability issues generally down to not enough voltage. 1.7v will be fine as it just a cap the PWM will monitor that frequency and adjust the voltage to what's needed.

you might notice graphics are a bit choppy and yes you will experience crashes or random restarts as the gpu is using to muich power more than your psu can handle.

your computer crashed because you installed the wrong drivers. When you restored your pc to an earlier date Windows installed a generic driver for your graphics card. Try downloading the 100 Series drivers from Nvidia's website if that doesn't work try the 9 series after all it's just a renamed...

your system isn't posting. try resetting the cmos. If no joy after reset cmos there is a problem with the following: motherboard, cpu, ram, graphics card, power supply unit and in some cases cpu fan. So you will have to go through the list and rule one out at a time perfferbaly starting with ram.

use the onboard sound normally pretty good.

have you done any overclocking? have you checked for stability issues using prime95? have you reseated your graphics cards? what the power output on your psu? have you checked for virus's on your OS?

Have you tried taking the motherboard out of the case? have you shorted the power switch pins with a flat head screw driver? have you reseated cpu, ram, graphics card incase any of them where shorting. Is you motherboard touching the back of your case?

do you have onboard gpu?

when you say PCI-Express 2.0 card is it PCI-Express x1 card? If so yea you can. you can also use a PCI-Express x1 card in PCI-Express x4, x8 or x16 slot the card will just use up the bus lanes needed.

PCI-Express x16 2.0 is just a higher bus frequency (4GB/s) than PCI-Express x16 1.0 (2GB/s). What power connectors does the card take? 2x 6pin? A PCI-Express x16 2.0 card will work on a PCI-Express x16 1.0 motherboard just has a lower bus cap.
