hi everyone
for some strange reason, every time i play a certain game, after a while my game will just freeze for about a minute until i am able to ALT+TAB / WINDOW KEY back to windows. From there, I CTRL+ALT+DELETE and it says game is running but if i try to go back in game it just freezes again repeating the above process. i tried manually killing the process and to run the game again but it will just freeze, however if i do this the game will just freeze right when i reach the main menu or load back up..the only way i can fix everything is if i restart my computer but that just makes it so i can play for about 15-20 minutes then it will crash again..............
note that this does NOT happen to all games..for example, i can play counter-strike or counter-strike source for 12 hours straight and it wont crash...but if i play another game (even if it is worse graphics/cpu usage wise) it will sometimes crash in 20/30 minutes.. in this case Mass Effect/Prince of Persia/Starcraft crash for me...
If you have any idea please let me know
i hardly doubt it is my computer because my specs are not bad at all.. i have a intel core 2 duo / 2gb / 8800 ultra nvidia ..
if anything it has to be with my comp overheating or something but if that was the case how come it doesnt happen for every game????
please advise
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
