That might tell you whats going on.

PSU issues typically result in freezing and restart issues.

Dual cores are useless now anyways.

I love my Dual, does everything I need it to do, I don't need a quad but I made sure my board is capable of upgrading to a AM3 6-core for when the time comes, until then I'm rocking a $80 cpu

I need to do a full benchmark to his, and see, but we swapped his card and his wifes card(which is better) and hers did the same thing and his card was fine in her tower. It glitches on both monitors unless a video is playing, but usage is little to none. Its like at idle it craps out, but hits a wall when you try and really use it, his frames are like 10-15 on moderate setting on all games. Thus why I said either his PS is lacking or his mobo is bugging out.
