Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Afternoon all fellow pod pilots,


Got a bit of a mystery on my hands atm with a new build i've not long built.

First specs:

amd apu a10-5800k

G-skill ripjaws 1600mhz 8gb (2x4gb)

OCZ 600w psu

Radeon 6970 running hdmi to a 32inch tv (audio on hdmi used also)

Asus F2A85-V

Windows 8 pro 64bit (and before anyone goes "windows 8" no it worked fine with my old build on windows 8)


now the odd thing, every other game i have runs perfectly fine none stop, no lockups, no errors, no crashing. Can play music, talk on teamspeak, steam voice etc etc all drivers are upto date (as far as i know)

Eve will run fine for 5minutes or 2hrs and at random will cause my comp to lock up. By lock up I mean a hard freeze which will involve a sound loop if i've got music playing also and me having to restart it.

So far i've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers/eve etc and I'm going to reseat all components soon if no other software based solution can be found. I've ran prime85 and memtest all come back fine after a good 8-10hrs test over night. So i'm stumped on this one temps on the apu hit 55c max on 3 clients and the gfx card isn't overheating at a steady 62c so its not a heat issue.

Any ideas peeps?


edit : reopened due to one client running at 42c caused computer to freeze, other games still run fine without crashes :/ completely confused now, gonna reseat hardware and test that

Problem seems to have solved itself after reseating parts, must have been the wonky sata connection, if a dev can lock this as i've solved it now.
