1) So prime doesn’t lock your pc ? (Y/N)
2) How do the games run with opened up pc with 30cm fan blowing ? (Good/Bad)
3) Check DMA settings (control panel - system - device manager - IDE/ATA - primary - advanced : check transfer mode (post transfer mode here)

3) a) if transfer mode = PIO : click “update driver”, don’t point to any location and update the driver, this restores ultra dma

One in three answers correct !

VIA IDE drivers might be the problem.

Nice

- Still waiting for an answer on question 2

If the result is still bad try running the cpu at stock speed and the memory at non-aggresive timings ...

seems more like a software issue, then a hardware one.

uninstall those VIA 4in1/Catalyst drivers
and install the latest 4.8 ones. leave the system without VIA's for time being. try again.

and update to DX9c while you are at it
