Hello,
I'm having a hard time with this brand new PC and can't figure out what is wrong.
I have tried the following games: Shayia, WolfET, Fallout3, Far Cry2.
All of them crash after 10min to 1 hour of gameplay. I get a blue screen that flickers then my pc reboots.
I tried WinXp 64b and WinXp 32 sp3. still the same results.
I tried with the drivers that came with my system, didnt fix the problem so tried with the ones on the manufacturer's websites for all hardware didnt work any better.
Here is my gear: CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3G/1333/6M/S775
MOBO: ASUS P5Q ( It broke after 9 days of games failing so I had the store give me a new one, since they believed that was the problem)
RAM: CORSAIR 800Mhz DDR2 NO-ECC 4096M TWINX C5
Hard Drive: 500G 7200 SATA2 SEAGATE
Power supply: Corsair 650W
Video Card, EVGA 9800GTX+ 512M
I use to understand everything that was happening with my old PC ( 5 years old) even changing blown up caps on it but this new computer with all the new technologies is overwhelming and after spending a good amount of cash I would like to be able to play a game.
Will wait your expert advice
