Hey guys, so I'm having a few problems with my PC, it runs great normally for surfing and whatever but when I try to play a game (usually something heavy hitting like half life or F.E.A.R) then I get totally random lock-ups, my rig is as follows:
AMD Opteron 165 (clocked up a little to 2Ghz)
XFX GeForce 8600 XXX 320Mb
2Gb of Crucial PC3200 RAM
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Socket 939 Mobo
Black Diamond Power Supply 12cm Fan, 500Watt
Windows Vista Business
So the game runs fine for a while then sometimes (usually about 5 to 10 minutes in) the game crashes, the screen gets cleared to random colour (grey, beige, brown or something else) and my sound is stuck on an infinate loop, I have made a video to better explain it here I don't really know whats causing it cause my temps are pretty normal and I'm running the latest geforce drivers, anyone know what could be wrong?
