Okay. If you ask me, this makes the hardware issue theory more plausible.Brand new I built it a few months ago but only just got around to setting it up as a HTPC.
Sure.Not tried the stress testing can you recommend a program?
I'd try:
- memtest for memory http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
- prime95 for CPU http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/
- Furmark for GPU http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/
Yes. As above: use the right tools to test each critical piece of hardware. The tools should tell you if they detect a problem.Will this narrow down the hardware if it is hardware related?
