Ok, I have had a semi odd problem that has been coming up more often and is very annoying. First system specs to avoid questions:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3000+ s939 non-overclocked
MB: MSI K8N neo2 Platinum
Ram: OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 1GB
PS: Antec True control 550w
Video: Sapphire Radeon X1600PRO 512MB agp
OS: Windows xp home
(If any other specs are needed, I can post them)
Any who, here's my problem. I'll be playing a game (the one that I can usually reproduce the error in is Rome: Total War) and all of a sudden, the game will be reduced to a slideshow. After I exit out of the game, the CPU utilization will hang around 70-80% and stay there until a restart. When I originally had my 9700pro in my computer (like 2 weeks ago) this error happened every single time I tried to use a 3d app. Now it just happens randomly. After I restart my computer, my system will usually end up hanging on the splash screen, the only way fixing it being to press the good ole' restart button. I don't know if these errors are related but I believe they are. Any help would be much appreciated!
*Update
Well I again ran into this bug. This time I closed out of the game and just let the computer sit on the windows desktop. Well, after a while (5 mins or so) It comes up with a delayed write error for one of my hardrives. I know for a fact that the harddrive can't be bad, so again I'm wondering what could be the cause of this. Again any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
