Hey guys
I recently got a 660ti from a friend for £100, so I hastily bought it and put it in my out-dated Machine which consists of an ASUS M2N68 AM SE-2 and a AMD Semprom 140 2.7Ghz, paired with 4GB of RAM. (You can already tell how bottle-necked it is)
My problem is when I'm gaming, I've been playing games that're well optimized for single core usage, Mafia II for example is perfectly capable of being played on a single core.
(shown here: http://www.overclock.net/t/797635/mafia-ii-cpu-benchmark-single-vs-dual-vs-quad-core-results)
However, after about 10-15 minutes in, the game has a tendency of freezing on a single frame or just black-screening, but the audio and everything else in-game carries on playing normally, just the actual video stops completely.
I've checked all my drivers, they're all perfectly up to date, I've done scans for the chance of Malware and viruses and finally I've cleaned up my Registry, but so far nothing seems to work at all.
Is my computer just too rubbish to play games what it should in theory be capable of playing or is it something else?
