Hi there I bought a new computer for about a week ago...had a friend of mine help me build it and all and it seemed to work great then..
But when I started running it at home it started acting weird it freezes up on me when I play games and it restarted once to when I playee the game and windows told me it was because the graphic card went unstable. (thats only happened once though) but the main problem is that it freezes up everytime I play a game..I can only have the game running about 10 minutes before that happens.. The monitor goes black for a second or two to...not turning off the monitor though just goes black and the picture comes back again..
I have an idea about it maybe it could be the graphic card I have installed.. but since it is a PCI-Express card I dont have an older one to switch to to get a idea of it or not..
Have thought of an conflict in the system to the specs for the computer is:
Motherboard: Asus P5RD1-V
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 630 3,0GHz Socket 775 FSB800 2MB Cache
Memory: Corsair VS 1024M DDR 400MHz PC3200 (Duak memories 2x512Mb)
Graphic card: Asus EN6600 256MB SILENCER GeForce 6600 PCI Express DVI TV-out
DVD writer: NEC ND3550 16X DVD±R/RW Dual Layer bulk
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 250GB 8MB cache SATA
Powersupply: Sweex ATX 650 Watt Gold Big Fan
Please help me find an answer to my problems since I dont want a new computer that doesnt work.. =)
One last note..I have tried by updating the graphicdrive from nvidias site with no result, also tried to do a format and install windows XP pro at new but with no result. Also updated the motherboard drive again with no result.
Thanks in advance /Rick
