ANY HELP PLEASE.IT IS FRUSTRATING

First try disabling as many uneeded applications and processes as you can before starting the game.


If that doesn't work then it sounds like an overheating problem.

How many fans do you have on your case?

What kind of heat sink and fan do you have on your processor?

Is any hardware on your pc overclocked?

on the cooler writes only CoolerMaster
what are thoose fans?
and where should i look for wich hardware is overclocked?
do u have maybe a yahoo id? it would work faster

i have a hotmail id

any more ideas please????

It is maybe my power supply not good enough?

noone answears . pleaseeeee

It appears that your PSU has 250 Watts rating on it. A 250 Watts power supply is not enough for your system. I suggest atleast a 450 Watts supply but wait for suggestions from BC advisors.

From what you've provided so far...my guesses would be power supply and overheating.

Edited to add your same post on this topic, http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic214055.html

I see that your power supply wins out as the logical candidate.

i bought a Speedlink 520W (50 euros) but the problem persists.I tried to play The godfather 2 and after 10 minutes my lcd turned off then in 5-10 seconds the computer totally freezed

please help me what can i do? what is the problem?

Well...you might as well run Memtest on your RAM, IMO.

If it were me...I would do a little temperature-checking when

a. Running games.

b. Doing routine things.

I suggest trying this program, Core Temp - http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

thank you

The power supply tou have is about half of what you need for the video card .

Doing a google for the Nvidia 9600 GS 768Mb system requirements I see a MIMIMUM of a 500 Watt power supply is recommended.

You have a 250 Watt power supply.

You have a lot of nice things in your computer,($$$$$$$$). You are clocked. IMHO I would spend a lot more money on cooling and more P/S than you need. When your use of a P/S is max or near it gets hot. I.E. when you are using 450 watts of a 500 watt P/S you are working it almost to its max. When using 450 watts on a 800 watt P/S its just gliding along. Your video card is quiet nice and should have extra cooling.
