My setup is
GA-770TA-UD3
2x2GB KingstonDDR3-1333  RAM
Athlon II X4 630
XFX Radeon 9670

My computer restarts whenever I attempt to play video games. I've tried changing the voltages of the GPU and RAM in the BIOS, but I can't find a combination that keeps my system stable. What can I do?

Hi
Seeing a lot of this problem online lately, (had it myself with BSOD problems)

Update to audio driver appears to have fixed the problem

I updated my audio driver (and my network driver that was also out of date). Things seem more stable, but I still crash. For some reason, it's particularly bad playing Civilization IV.

now that you have installed a new audio driver, re-install the latest vga driver if you dont already have it
seems to be a sequence thing sometimes

let me know how you get on :)

I reinstalled the Catalyst drivers and things seemed stable about 30 minutes. I'm going to see if the Omega drivers do any better.

I tried to flash my BIOS (F1 to F2) using @BIOS and now my computer isn't starting up at all. Is there anyway to fix this?

Edit: Reset CMOS, but still nothing is working. Should I just replace my MoBo?

memory is vague since its ages since I did anything but check the manual for using the backup bios?
dual bios on gigabyte boards, rescued a bad bios update for me a few years back

there might be a key to hold down while you switch on

I did manage to get through a non booting bios once by creating a floppy that auto-run a bios load to the previous version (in autoexec.bat), so it didnt require a display, and that fixed another motherboard.

havent had bios problems in such a long time now though.

good luck
