So twice now I've run into BSOD's with the SNP25, once when there was an automatic update, to which removing the 1CPU line addition in the boot.ini seem to fix (makes no sense) and another tonight after installing the latest Nvidia 78.01 drivers for my 7800GTX.
I un-installed the drivers I was using, rebooted to perma BSOD, so I booted into safe mode, installed the latest drivers, voila no problems next boot. I proceed to log into WoW, no problems, then start playing Black and White 2. After playing for about 20 minutes my speakers pop, my computer Shuts off and the lights dim from the power surge (that seemed to be caused by my computer). I wait a few seconds, turn the system back on, fans go to high...no post and what looks like a gust of smoke blows out the left side fan (though I didn't smell any burnt components).
So at this point I'm like alright component testing, I pull the video card out, boot...no post but the fans go back to idle after the initial boot up. I pull everything out, put the video card back in, and the computer posts. I work with computers all day, why does my home system have to have the strangest freaking problems. My idle temps on my x2 are low 40's and high temps don't peak past 50 from what I can see. I'm assuming the smoke was just dust but as to what happened I'm left very confused.
Any thoughts? I do have the latest drivers from shuttle, the AMD x2 driver installed and the latest bios.
