I've recently upgraded my graphics card to Msi HD5850 Twin Frozr 2.
I have seen a lot of posts about this problem and everyone is saying that is the overheating problem. But its not. My temps are on 30C idle, and 55-60C on max load.
When my computer freezes, its unresponsive to mouse or keyboard, and audio is repeating the last 0.1 second repeatedly, sounds kind of like bees buzzing, so i have to button reset.
It happened so far in Goat Simulator, Hitman Absolution, Bulletstorm - time before freezing varies, it can happen in 5 mins or 2hrs, sometimes even doesn't but in 95% cases it does, which is really annoying.
It doesn't happen in Left 4 Dead 2, and (surprisingly) in Battlefield 3.
I don't own any other games so I could only check for this.
So, back on track my PSU is Blueberry PSB500 500W ( http://www.blueberry-eu.com/uploads/downloads/psb500_pr... )
But for the sake of no PSU problem here are my other specs:
CPU: Intel E5300 Dual core 2.6GHz
RAM: ddr2 2gb,
MOBO: GA-P31-ES3G
HDD: from 2006 i think, it is 160GB cap and has 140 bad sectors (18% health in Sentinel), but i never had any problem in games with my old card and the health was the same back then.
I know my pc is outdated, im working on updating everyting, but i need to know did i made a mistake with this gpu?
Thanks!
