Hey there. For a few months i've been having problems playing games. My computer will suddenly lock up in game, but i'm still able to talk and listen on ventrilo / teamspeak for several seconds. This will be proceeded with the system restarting suddenly. I had the same problem, but it was slightly different when it first started happening. I'd be able to talk / hear for several seconds, and then the last block of sound would rapidly loop. I then needed to manually hit the restart button on my PC.
Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ ~2.4ghz
Windows XP
Nvidia 7600GS graphics card
2GB ram
The crash is occuring in DirectX 9 games. I've tried updating direct x, but that hasn't sorted the problem. It happens in both Battlefield 2, and counter-strike: Source. I've not tried any other games, apart from Guild Wars and World of Warcraft, which doesn't seem to crash my computer.
Sometimes it will crash several times. Other times it won't crash at all. It happens 2 times a day on average.
All help apprieciated.
Lee.
