Hey Guys,
I have a problem with my computer. It locks up for no apparent reason when either a) starting a new game (COD2, FEAR, Americas Army) or  clicking through menus c) loading new maps to start. For the most part I can't remember it doing it once I've been in game. Never have any kind of problems at all once I start playing. I have a Intel Core 2 duo 6300 and a evga 7950 GT KO 512 MB video card if that helps any. Thanks for any help or suggestions guys.

Built the computer less than a month ago. Everything was fine and then all of a sudden it started locking up at the start of games. I've done a little research and found that a) lots of people are having problems with the 7900 series doing this or something similar and b ) while it's not optimal for me to run it with the psu I have it should be sufficient ( I don't think it's the root of the problem anyway). It looks like these cards are having LOTS of defects. Go search for 7950 or 7900 freezing and you'll see there are page after page of people with this or a similar graphics problem.
P to answer your question no I only have problems when in game. And it's with any game not just COD. Junkie This post has been edited by Genocide Junkie: 12/26/06 12:51pm -------------------- Give a man a match and he's warm for a min. Set him on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. |
