Does this happen with any game you run? Have you run a hard drive diagnistics program to verify the drive's not going bad on you.

BTW, welcome to TechSpot with your first post. :wave:

yes this happens with all games, i dont think its a hard drive prob.
because i have tried a different hard drive running win ME and it did the same thing!?! also i tried my graphics card on another computer it ran fine no bother.


thanks for the reply.
