game freezing problem
- Thread starter Johnh
- Start date
it has been running for a quite a while though up until i started having the problems with the game i would have it running 24/7 and other than restarting it, thats what ive been doing since july/august
but i was told in forums, and on reviews of the processor that it ran hot but it was the best i could afford so i got it. im not a huge gamer so its not that big of deal anyway, i was just getting bored on the weekends, and when there was nothing good on tv so i wanted a game to waste some time on, i have been spending time, unfortunatley its been trying to get it to work properly not actually playing it so... ya im not sure
ill probly just sell the game to somebody and buy something else with the money (new monitor perhaps) ye old 14" isnt really doin it for me anymore
if anybody has any other suggestions that dont really involve spending a ton of money let me know!
thanks!

just get a better heatsink/fan for the cpu. It won't cost too much, and it will make it run cooler. Since ur computer runs that hot it will definitely be worth it.
something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118114
and then while u are at it get some arctic silver 5 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835100007) to go with the new heatsink.
I'm not an expert in cooling and I didn't spend alot of time looking at different heatsinks so u could do some more research by yourself.
But a new heatsink and arctic silver 5 should do wonders to that temp. And the total price will not be that high.
oh, and u will need to clean the cpu from the old thermal stuff (most likely there was a thermal pad) before applying arctic silver (or any other thermal thingy)
