I built a gamming computer in 2008 when I was into video games. Between now and then I been doing other stuff and haven't taken video games seriously.
A few months ago in June 2013, I got back into gamming and basically upgraded my video card to run recent games...I also got a 20 inch wide screen monitor. Aside from video card and monitor, its the same computer I built in 2008.
For some reason my PC alarm goes off when I run games at high load. I play Resident Evil 6 and Team Fortress 2. I ran the nTune test and it passes but the pc alarm goes off when it starts to run at high load. My first impression was that my graphics card is overheating, but nTune says it runs at about 28C idle and 32C at load.
Something I noticed on nTune is that my ram is really being worked. I'm probably going to need to upgrade to a 64bit OS and buy more ram.
So anybody have opinions on whats going on?
Current Build
Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83 GHz
Gigabyte Nvidia 650 Ti 2 GB
Ram - 2 GB
PSU - Tegan 750W
OS - Windows 7 32bit
