Hello all I have a quick question. Whenever I play a game like BF:BC2 or Arma II I can play for like 10-20 mins and it will freeze up on me. I have a gigabyte hd4870 Card, and I am running an amd phenom x2 940 BE my power supply is also a 550 watt. Do you guys have any Ideas on what the problem could be?

Thank you for your time

Joel

already checked that and it's not temperature related. Just for giggles I went ahead and ran the fan at 100 percent while playing and it still crashed. This is very frustrating, I don't know what else would be causing it to crash like this...
