Okay, so here is a problem I have whenever I play a game. I can be playing any game (And I mean ANY) and 1 of 3 things will happen...
1: The image will freeze, the sound will start looping, the screen will go dark, and it will come back up and I can continue to play.
2: The image will freeze, the sound will loop, the screen will go dark. But, the image dosen't come back. I can still play, but the monitor acts as if it were off.
3: The image will freezem the sound will loop, and the computer will lock up, requiering a restart.
Now, I have heard this is due to graphics card overheating. My card idles at 38 Degrees Celsius, and around 45-46 degrees celsius when playing a game. I have not overclocked anything on my computer. Is there anyway to keep it cool without buying another fan/heatsink? Or is it due to someting totally different? I really need help.
