| Guest | Computer keeps freezing during pretty much all full screen games. Right now I am running Vista Home Premium with 2048mb system memory, and AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual-Core Processor4400+ with resolution set at 1680 x 1050. However recently whenever I play any full screen game, from Unreal Tournament 2004 - Bejeweled 2 in full screen mode after a few minutes it crashes, with me not being able to do anything at all. This results in me having to hold down the power button until it turns off, and then restarting it. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem will be appreciated. |

| Guest | Re: Computer keeps freezing during pretty much all full screen games. There could be numerous of reasons why this happens, but in most cases it would have to do with the graphics driver. But it could also be something set wrong in bios or that your power supply is to weak, try out installing a newer graphics driver first. What are your other specs? Motherboard, graphicsboard etc...?

I think that maybe it's getting to hot and overheating, this might be caused by either a broken fan or collected dust in its heat sink. Maybe the power supply though, have you recently put in any new parts? Your power supply might not be able to handle the extra power consumption. |
