2nd pc

3rd 

intel core 2 quad

Q6700 @ 2.66 Ghz

4gb ram

500 gb hdd

750 gb hdd

geforce 8800 gtx

1st pc crashes while playing certain games tried checking pc temps didnt seem to high. Also, sometimes when starting up welcome screen will never load. When it is in sleep mode it freezes are when its starting up will get blue screen of death.

2nd pc has the most issues. sometimes it tries to overclock even when set to not overclock. most of the time will not succesfuly boot windows. if it get s to run windows it will freeze when in sleep mode for too long like first pc. it freezes trying to boot windows. Sometimes will not detect hardrives. rarely crashes when running games. Bios was recently reset to factory default  had sopme succes but problems have come back. Seems like it freezes trying to loads bios.

3rd pc. when playing bf3 will randomly crash it loops sound that was playing when the crash happened1st pc also does this. Sometimes will crash when playing league of legends same with 1st pc. Thanks for any help guys. I'm the most technically inclined out of the three of us I have tried to reset bios. I have checked temps and checked cables on 1st pc which is mine. Thanks again!!!

Re-install a fresh copy of windows on all the rigs and run prime95, memtest, and unigine heaven on all the pc's to determine what parts are faulty. Adjust voltage, timing, clock speeds etc adequately to gain stability. You should be able to shake some life out of the parts but they will probably kick the bucket soon seeing as they're not stable at stock :/
