Computer Freezing

[vodEVIL]

Hi, it seems that everytime I start playing a game for about 5 minutes or so my computer locks up and I have to restart. Can anyone help tell me whats wrong? I tried putting my videocard back at normal speeds, but it still does it. My Temps are at about 47 under load so it shouldnt be an overheating issue. I was thinking the power supply because it is only a 300 watt antec one that came with my case.

have you tried a different PSU?

have you run memtest86 (www.google.com)?

are you sure your Vid Card is seated fully in the AGP slot?

if that doesn't work, then go ot the first page of General [H]ardware forum and look at my tweak guide, something in there should work.


oh yeah, have you tried seeing if your vid card manufacturer's website says anything about a manual settin for the AGP Driver control?

luck @ you.

I know its not the gfx card is seated properly because this has just started happening over the last few week or so. Thanks for the quick reply.

It might be the PSU. What do your voltage rails look like?

I took the videocard out and put it back in and uninstalled my old drivers and then reinstalled them and it no longer freezes my computer. Now, however, it seems to exit out of the game that I am playing about 5 minutes into it rather then freezing like it did before.
