Unhappy computer crashing.
right as i start games. it shows me the first little beginning tiny starting square. i hope you understand that...anyways. after that. it just crashes not even a blue screen just black screen and my monitor goes into idle. this may be because of my new system..im not sure. i just switched motherboards and processors. and thats it. going from dell to dell. my older one had a e-something or other @3.00ghz. but my new one is the newer e8500 w/45nm@3.16ghz everything works fine except cpu-z tells me its only running@ 2ghz. and then if i start a game it crashes.
this dell isnt much of a dell anymore.

hd2600xtx
e8500 intel
2gigs Adata ram@800mhz
168gb hitachi desktar+400gb wd hdd's
and i run two monitors
uh...anything else you need to know?
ive just updated the bios and found any drivers on dells website that could possibly be related (at least to my knowledge) with this issue. before the switch the other dell with the same hardware in it(besides the different board and processor) worked perfectly.
