Computer havok
So my computer has decided to pretty much host an all out war against me. I've tried every troubleshooting method, debugging, scanning, everything I could think of and nothing is working. The computer just randomly decides it wants to shut down whenever I'm trying to run like two or more active graphics programs, such as trying to run a game and a flash at the same time, multiple flash files, multiple games, even multiple GIFS will cause this, and it doesn't blue screen, it just shuts down. Upon turning it back on I have to try multiple times as it will start up, then shut down again several times before actually booting up. I figured this HAD to be a GPU issue, I have two graphics cards so of course that's it, but upon removing and individually testing each under the same conditions, it still crashed just the same. Yes, the crashing is bad enough I can actually quite easily force it to crash. This time, however, upon re-installing both cards and rebooting, my nTune suddenly doesn't work, and after launching the Nvidia monitor (having to use cmd to do so because I couldn't boot up nTune), and putting it under the exact same conditions that crashed it before, it refused to crash. I opened over 20 flashes simultaenously and it wouldn't go above 74% CPU usage. (I was trying to force a crash and monitor what happened at the moment of crashing) It's like the computer is fighting against me, it won't crash when I'm trying to see why. The temperatures of the system are stable and at a healthy level, they've never gone much above it seeing as I have the side panel OPENED and a FAN pointed directly at it to make sure it does not overheat. I just don't know what's wrong with this thing or how to fix it, it's demonic I swear. I'm running dual NForce 8600 GT graphics cards with an SLI connection3.000 Ghz dual core pentium processor3 gigs 533.333 MHz DDR2 RAMFSB: 800.000 (QDR) MhzPCI-E: 2500.000 MHzGPU core (3D): 540.000 MHzGPU Memory: 700.000 MHzIt could just be coinscidence, but the problem seemed to start after I updated my graphics drivers. Honestly it wouldn't at all surprise me if this was an issue with drivers, because it seems that the point of new drivers is to completely sabotage computers, they ALWAYS break something. If you know what this problem is, or know a way I can roll back my drivers, please let me know. This computer is driving me completely insane at this point. Note: No matter how much I run, Memory always remains at 18%, what's that about?
