I recently bought a Geforce 8600 GT for my stock eMachines PC (bad i know). The only other upgrade I have put in was 2 1gb sticks of kingston ram.
Ever since I have gotten the card, it has sometimes crashed while playing graphic-intensive games. I will be playing, and everything will glitch out and freeze, and I will have to restart the computer. It has done this with WoW, Half-Life, Star Wars KOTOR, Assassin's creed, and it has even done it while in an iTunes visualizer. It will never do this when just browsing a web page or anything, but only while the graphics card seems to be in use. Sometimes it will do it right when i turn the PC on and load the game, other times it will go an hour or two fine. Anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post
