Hey all,
Just today I've been getting freezes when I try to load any form of game. Namely World of Warcraft and Oblivion (the only 2 games I really play). I also have Monopoly by Parker Brothers, but it doesn't lock up for that
Just to describe it - the computer starts the program, with Oblivion I can get to the loading part, with WoW it's as soon as I enter the acual game (where you put in your account details). The computer then proceeds to lock up completely - no Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc. mouse is unresponsive, the colours distory (black on images for example goes white, fluro blue, etc.) and I get orange and/or blue dots all over my screen. I have noted that some of these 'dots' flash consistantly.
I've tried cleaning up my drives, cleaning up my registry, pulling the computer apart and cleaning everything, I re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate (my OS), reinstalled graphics and sound drivers, ran Memtest on all my ram sticks and came up with no errors, and the problem persists.
(I also reset my Mobo settings when I pulled my PC apart (pulled the mobo battery out for 10 minutes, not that that effects anything - I only done it because I accidently hit the wrong thing in load order to set CD-ROM first and saved then computer refused to boot even to get back into BIOS >.>)
Currenlty, I've run out of ideas, I got a blue screen once, however I can't remember its code (this was before I reinstalled windows) and it hasn't happened again since the first time. Any thought/suggestions? Thanks.
Quick overview of PC specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
RAM: 4GB
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (XFX version for what it's worth)
I also included a dxdiag report for you to check out if it will be helpfull.
