ilike2l33ch Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 my computer freezes when i play games..any guesses on what might be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotica Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 It could be one of heaps of things. I think we need more information. Which games crash? What happens? What are your computer specs? What Windows are you using? Are there programs running in the background? etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Typical PC problems, you need to clarify the PC Specs and the game. For an easier shorten solution is, games does run on an indepent requirement, Even if u meet em, there are always more problems, and to fix that, there is always configurations.

Mag Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Darn, I cant believe i had yer problem before..but that happened 3 years ago. my solutions: -Let see, have you check yer CPU usage ? try not to overide a certain limit, it needs as much extra memory as possible to balance the PC process rate. -Check yer Harddrive to see yer arent running out of HD space and such. -Too many programs running at the same time could of done it. -Try running the PC on safe mode after a reboot, (F8 to select safe mode).

Chaotica Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 And if that doesn't work, format the HD and do a fresh install of...er...everything. It is a big move, but formatting does wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuMeSyn Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 It can be because of the overheating. Make sure teh fan of your graphic card is working and also check the temperatures of your CPU and Motherboard in the BIOS. And make sure you have no virus either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
