Hi

I'm hoping someone here might be aboe to help.

I'm having a issuse when play some games (Dungeons, Anno 1404, Shogun 2) to name a few, this problem has only really been happening over to past week or 2. I can play the game for about 5-10 mins, then my screen goes blue, with no error message, and I have to reboot and my keyboard locks up, I have formatted, removed harddrives and Checked RAM, nothing seems to point to a problem, could it be my graphic card?? i'm up-to date on drivers below are my specs..please help...

Many thanks
Daniel

Download and install GPU-Z. Go to the Sensors tab and it will tell you the temp for you GPU as well as fan speed on your card....

Download and install FurMark 1.8.2. Run the stability test and check temperatures. If temps stay under 85C your fine. If it does NOT crash often, your card is fine.
