Odd when I ran an NV card found Riva tuner quite solid and I assume you have the updates for SP2 up to date.

Make sure your registry is clean after that last game and trainer ....

Other than that no ideas other than hardware .. Cheers

why dont you try checking your psu with a voltmeter? idk if you have one or not, and idk how much they nromally go for, i paid 50 for mine, but its more than what you would need for just checking voltages in a pc. looks like you can get an analog one at radioshack for 16 bucks. if you dont want to do that, then idk. overclocking has that tendency to just have major problems creep up on you slowly like that though.

TRY DOWN CLOCKING you card , and see what happen blindartist

Well oog , he is so shure that its not HW/PSU he wont check it even if he has voltmeter.

PS.You say "it was mostly useless except it reported my cpu voltage as beeing too low but i honestly dont think it detects anything properly" this dont giva you any clue ?

PS2. blindartist after this time , i wuld put another PSU / ram / gpu to check whats wrong , OR if you so shure that its microsoft to blame i wuld reinstall that damn thing and forget about problem.

PS3. Ther is no spoon

i dont have have the money to just go out and buy parts to put in and test. Id assume if the core voltage really was too lower it wouldnt still report the cpu as running at the proper speed, and it probably would run cooler but its still running at what it normally does.
