Hi guys, I'm new here and I this forum seemed like you guys can help me.. BTW I'm don't know a lot about computers, so if I left anything out, please tell/ask me!
My computer keeps crashing about 4-5 minutes as I'm into playing a game. I get crashes for Madden 08, NBA Live 07 and Civillization IV, and those are the only games I have played, so I doubt it's the games. I have Windows Vista, but I am almost certain that it's not the operating system's problem since one of the games was working perfectly fine a while back..
This is what I get sometimes:
or I would get a blue screen and it would say something about crash dumping physical memory (no exact but some key words) and it would start to load..
System Specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor 4600+
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE
Hard Drive 320GB SATA
2048MB DDR RAM
PSU 300w
Things I tried:
+ Reformatted the computer. I've done this twice and it still has the same problem
+ Put another fan beside my computer preventing it from overheating. (I had the exact same problem a while ago with my computer and it seemed to work, until I reformatted this computer, now it doesn't work anymore)
+ Installed up-to-date Direct X and video card. (Direct X 10 and Driver from NVIDIA.com)
+ Installed Windows Vista Updates
Yeah.. any help?
