Hello, recently I have bought a whole new computer, and am experiencing some problems. i am playing games like Red Alert 3, Crysis, and UT3. And also many others. I'm wondering if you guys can shed some light on my problem?
While playing games i get a little 3 second freeze, then a black screen for about 2 secs. after that it goes back to normal. After 5 times of the game doing that, it crashes. My ATI continually does VPU recovery. But only in games.
I don't think its a hardware issue, Ive tried Memtest86, and no errors. Ive tried getting all the latest drivers and/or software. I have tried switching ports for my graphics card, and reseeded my ram. I don't think voltage is a problem, because I have a 585V power supply. Heating shouldn't be an issue. I'm running speed fan and the max any of the temps get is 45 degrees Celsius.
