A lot of the same
Last response: in Systems
Ladies and Gents->
I've had this computer (bought off of IBuypower) for about a month now. This is after having several hard drive issues and sending it back to them several times. During even short gaming sessions of City of Heroes (with graphics turned down) or WoW (also with graphics turned down), I experience not only lock ups, but many instances of my computer completely rebooting itself at random.
The computer is, as mentioned, very new. It is a relatively beefy system, that should have no problem what so ever handling a game as old as City of Heroes.
I have tried blowing out the entire system, the basic system maintenance (defrag, cleanup, virus/spyware/malware scans), and this issue still haunts my machine.
It is worth noting that i have a second computer that is by far and large dinkier (Nvidia 7800 series as opposed to the Nvidia 9800 series in the problem computer, newest, latest and greatest, both with a 700w power supply) system.
It is probably worth noting that the problem computer has Windows Seven.
Thanks for any advice and guidance you guys can issue.
