Hello everyone,
I am at the end of my rope with this problem. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I bought a desktop computer, AMD Athlon 6400+, 2.39 GHz, 2gbs ram, Windows XP, and galaxy gt 520 video card, 1 gb. When I bought the computer, I reformatted and did a clean install. The ATI video card it came with worked fine for about 2 weeks, then it fried, no signal, nothing. I bought a new video card, installed it, and it worked for 2 days, before crashing my computer with blue screens and cyclic cycle errors. I then purchased a NVIDIA Galaxy GT220, installed it, and same thing. Then I realized that I still had some ATI files on my computer, so I used driversweeper to get rid of them. I exchanged the Galaxy GT220 for a GT520, and after the computer was clean of all ATI files, it ran very smoothly. Except for when I run game on it. I will play for a certain amount of time, then the computer will freeze, and I need to restart it. I suspected it was a BIOS issue, because it frozeup the exact same as my computer did when I tried to update the BIOS using the ASUS flash update tool. I ended up having to revert to the initial bios software, because the upgrade turned my computer from freezing every hour or so to every 5 minutes or so. My motherboard is an ASUS A8V-VM SE. All I want to do is run some video games with my friends without it freezing. I'm very close to either throwing it out, scrapping it for parts, or turning it into a work processor/internet computer and abandoning any hope of it playing video games. The video game in question (if it helps) is called League of Legends. When I play it, the screen will flicker every once in a while, then freeze about 30-40 minutes into it. I'm playing on the lowest setting. I apologize if I ranted a bit, I consider myself good with computers, but this is out of my range. Once again, any help at all would be very much appreciated.
