Comp Freezing ?

[osalcido]

My comp freezes intermittently (about every 20 minutes) while playing COD2 multiplayer. What could be the cause?

When I say freeze, I mean freeze. the entire thing locks up for about 10 seconds. It doesn't respond at all... then it goes back like nothing happened and im right back in the game. It doesnt black /bluescreen either, it just shows my view in COD2 and its frozen there.

CPU temp at load is 47C , GPU is about 71C. Fresh install of Windows XP 32-bit.

Specs:
Venice 3200+ (Oced to 2.2ghz)
6800GS (PCI-E) (Sometimes OCED to 500,1200... freezes even at stock)
Cable connection
1 GB Corsair 2-3-3-6 RAM (Undertimed to 3-3-3-8)
WD Raptor 74 GB

did you OC?

seems a lil toasty on the GPU, might wanna check that. I haven't had good luck with 6800GS's in others systems, but they should only be round 60C I would think..

i found the problem

seems my 6800GS is dying

so if you ever have this problem in the future, that could probably be the reason
