Cause it would be the only pieces I havent changed? haha

Btw, is there any tests I can do to verify those 2 (mobo and cpu)? One thing that is bugin me is that my old card isnt the same slot type of card. So nothing proove its my video card. It could be the mobo slot that is defect. Is the only thing I can do is to try another card in the same slot on mobo? Thanks for the help

you changed hard drives and was able to play a total of 9 hours without crashing...2 sessions one for 4 hours and one for 5 hours...for your last session, you did not say how long you played before the crash after swapping hard drives...
it only crashes when playing games so I doubt its a mobo or cpu issue
I still think its a heat (cpu or gpu) or voltage issue

The second session, It crashed after the 4th hour and a half.

Well for the GPU overheat, I'm using a software called Precision provided by EVGA (video card company) and it shows pretty well that all heat are under control. For CPU, I cant confirm anything at the moment, but now that I'm back to Vista, I'll be able to install Everest or Speedfan and monitor that more closely.

As for voltage, I have no clue how to check that :) I havent overclock anything and didnt play with my BIOS on that part at all, so its all "by default".

Interresting... Something new from Vista 64 bits logs just before the crashes (Or at the same time):

eventid 15016
Unable to initialize the security package Kerberos for
server side authentication. The data field contains the
error number.

Found some links talking about it:
http://technet.micro...677(WS.10).aspx

Would it be a good path to investigate?

Unable to initialize the security package %2 for server side authentication. The data field contains the error number.
This event occurred because you are using a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista configuration that does not have and does not require a security package for HTTP service authentication.
You can safely ignore this error.

try everest again.... get screenshot of sensor readings again...
your 3.3 and 12 volt readings are way off what they should be...
do you have access to another power supply with more wattage on the 12V rail you can try...some of the new ones have 60 Amps on the 12V rail

Ok, even with Vista, there's nothing I can pump from Everest (??) in the sensor panel. Seems like my Motherboard aint supported by the software :)

I've installer GPU-Z that you mentionned in a previous post and I'm getting readings. I wanted to play like 3 hours and throw a screenshot in here but I got a crash... I've notice something different now thought, it aint giving me bluescreens now. Its just freezing some time then rebooting without showing me anything. Again, in the event viewer I saw the same error I reported to you about kernel.

Tonight again I'll try to monitor the stuff with all software opened while playing.

Ok folks here's the follow up :) (Sorry for the time it took, but the tests and switching of things take some times for me hihi!

I changed my 650W power supply for a Corsair TX750W. Crashed after 2hours :) So aint good at all...

Had a friend who brought his recent computer and switch my video card with his 8800GT... played 2 days (10-12 hours playing approx) and no crash at all. All was fine. So yeah I cant extend the tests for more than that cause my friend will kill me to keep his video card haha. So I started the process to RMA my video card (BTW support and website of EVGA is seriously awesome! compared to Gigabytes...).

Ohh yeah also, I found a computer engineer in my friend's list and sent him my dumpfile. He wasnt able to find anything in that cause it was all generic messages :) So that was another deadend.

I'll keep the thread up to date till my bug is fixed! Thanks all for your support!

Another step token... I got my RMA card back (Well i got a new one) and 45 min of playing and I got a bsod :) Ive remarked, when putting back in my video card that it was sitting right on my SATA connectors. Can it be possible that it just cant fit in the slot accordingly? That would be weird that it happens randomly /sigh

Anyway, I'm continuing my researchs. Thanks and cya

ok ...lets review...you swapped video cards with your friend for 2 days and played about 12 hours each day with no crash..
was his card as long as yours and sits on the sata cables like yours does...does it have a different aux power connector for the video card than your card takes...
have you run speedfan and everest since you swapped PSU's...get us some screenshots

Well between my other post and my last one, I borrowed another card (8500GT) that was shorter in size and played for 2 weeks with no crash. And no that card didnt sit on the SATA cable connectors since it was shorter.
