ok, so I buy this premade Compaq from Futureshop..
-Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140
-1024MB of memory
-320GB hard drive
I asked the guy who was helping me if I needed anything else to install a good video card, and he said I should be good.. well the guy was wrong. I bought a Geforce 8600GT and had to buy a more powerful power supply to back the vid card up.. Alright, that was the small background.
I'm a huge gamer, I play World of Warcraft. I've had this problem now since I've started playing on this new computer of mine.. I play for between 1hr- 6hrs and then my computers freezes up, and the graphics get all messed up while I'm in game, and I am forced to shut my computer down by holding the button.. I have no idea what the problem could be. Could it be that I need more memory to back up the video card? Say if I bought another Gig of ram that maybe it would stop the problem?
I've tried reinstalling my graphics drivers, and still end up with the same problem. If anybody has any suggestions, or if somebody has had the same kind of problem and fixed it, please help.
