So a friend of mine had this Dell Studio XPS 8100 which he gave to me when he couldn't stand that it freezes/crashes everytime he tried to play a specific game.
The performance is good (as long as it lasts) but after a while, like 3-4 minutes, audio freezes, screen goes black and then it shuts down.
I tried every fix Dell had on their website, I did run the Dell System Detect diagnose-tool and everything seems to be fine, It's out of warranty since long ago and I'm really frustrated.
Hardware seems to be working smoothly, it never does that except from when I try to play that one game. (I haven't tried any other games)
I tried switching Hard Drives, problem still persists. Switched PSU, reseat RAM, changed cables, still the same. I tried pretty much anything I can think of (I'm not good on tech stuff).
I really need some help here, at my stage I can't afford a new computer or whatsoever.
Thanks.
My specs:
Windows 7 Home Basic (x64)
Intel Core i5 650 3.20Ghz
6GB DDR3 RAM
500GB Hard Drive
Nvidia GeForce GT 220
Let me know if more info is required.
