Hi there. Im really having problems with my computer. Im assuming its the
graphics card thats causing the problem.
My comp spec is:
Graphics Card
Leadtek Winfast GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB DDR AGP A250LE
Motherboard
Gigabyte Ga8ge667 Skt478 I845ge ATX VGA Sound FSB533 ATA100
Processor
Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz PC533 Socket PGA478, 512KB cache
Memory
DDR-DIMM PC2700 512MB DDR CL2.5 Generic memory 184-P (for DDR-PC333MHz)
Monitor
Relisys TE988 19"
OS
XP
The problem im having is when i try and run games. For instance, Terminator.
I load it up, configure the controls and then it loads all maps etc. Then i
press a key to continue then it dies.
What i mean by this is, The screen will go black, the led will turn orange
and i cant do anything. But the game is still running in the background as i
can hear it etc.I have to then restart the PC.
Ive tried updating the graphics card drivers, and motherboard drivers, and
monitor drivers. Ive ran all windows updates etc but still get the same
problem. At the moment the refresh rate is 60 at the moment. Ive tried
swapping the monitor with a different one, but get exactly the same problem.
It does this with a few games, but the odd ones will work, such as Sims.
The fan on the card is working, aswell as the fan on the CPU.
Has anyone got any ideas?Sorry for the long post, but ive just got no idea
what i can do..
Cheers
