PC freezing when playing games..
Hello again,
God or some other higher power doesn't want me to play games. And I think that sucks.
I just bought a new PC 3 days ago. Before that, on my old PC, I had some issues. I posted them on this forum too (can't find the thread now). I posted it here a week or two ago, just because I was buying a new PC, and I wanted to know what the problem was with it. Anyway, because of the problem with my old PC, I couldn't game for almost a year, and I couldn't fix it because I had other things to do. Now, I get money to buy a new PC. And off course, I do. Finally, I'm like "YEAH! I CAN PLAY GAMES NOW! WOO!". Then, I install the game I mainly bought my PC for - Grand Theft Auto IV. Play it for a day or more without any problems. Then, it freezes. It happens randomly, sometimes first 5 minutes of playing, sometimes in an hour. My screen gets these white dots or something, and sound starts repeating one sequence. Like, if someone in the game says "**** you", it gets stuck on, example, fUck you, on the one sound, so then I hear like fu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u, and that keeps reapeating. I can't alt+f4, ctrl+alt+del, or anything, so I need to manualy restart the PC. First I thought it's a game issue, so I googled it and saw that lots of people get the freezing problem when they play GTA IV. So I asked on GTAForums, Yahoo! Answers etc. for help, and off course I got none. I mailed Rockstar Games, and I decided to install another game to play while I was waiting for their reply (which may take a while). First 2 minutes, and I got the same problem. I rebooted my PC.. Now I came here to whine.
Sorry for my whining, but it sucks when you wait for some game for 2 years, then your PC breaks apart and you can't play almost anything for a year, then get money to buy a new PC, spend 1000$ on it, and find out that you still can't game. Good thing it's inscured, because if it wasn't, I would have to kill someone.
My PC specs:
QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2,83 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (1024 MB)
RAM: 3,25 GB
OS: Windows XP SP 3
