Hi, New here. I really hope someone can help me. ok heres the problem,
This first occurred after updating my gfx card drivers to the latest version and the only games it affected was Call of Duty 2 and F.E.A.R. Basically after 5 or 10 mins (randomly) my computer just switches off and requires being switched on. i looked on the net but found no useful help. After some trial and error I rolled back my gfx card drivers to what came on the CD for the cards. problem solved. However I have just bought Age of Empires 3 and am getting the same thing happen again, still on the original drivers from the gfx CD. F.E.A.R and Call of Duty 2 work fine.
It's really wierd. I don't want to have to change my drivers back and forth just to play different games.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ dual core processor
2GB Corsair XMS Pro C2 3200 RAM
Asus A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard.
2x MSI Geforce 7800 GTX 256MB gfx cards in SLI mode
flippin' Massive Thermaltake bettle CPU cooler
480W Thermaltake Butterfly PSU
3x hard drives (80GB, 200GB and 300GB)
3x DVD/CD RW drives.
Thermaltake Hardcano
According to my temp sensors I get the following temps for most games (which run fine) and same for the games causing a switch off.
CPU 41-42 C
GFX card1 48 - 52C
GFX card2 38 - 47C
Running Windows XP service pack 1.
Plz plz help me!!!!
Thanks
