Hi, I was playing Fable on all max settings at 1024 x 768 resolution and my game all of a sudden just crashed to a black screen, with a buzzing noise coming from my speakers. I then had to unplug my computer in order to turn it off. I just bought a new video card to play this on max settings, and so this is the first time it crashed. I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem is and how i might be able to fix it. Thanks.
 
What video card do you have and what power supply are you using. If it is not a driver issue, then it probably has to do with not having enough power for that video card.
 
I have a Geforce 7800 GS, and I am not sure what my power supply is. It came with my Dell and it doesn't show the watts, but my friend got me a 400 watt power supply. I don't have it installed yet though.
 
that depends on wether its amper rating are good enough to power up your entire system stable and if its a quality psu or a cheapo , it indid sounds like the psu but why wont you make sure it really is just to be 100% sure
download everest http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html goto computer-->sensor and take a screenshot , or alternativly measure the voltages with a digital multimeter for bit more accurate readings

it could also be a heat issue.
the 2 main reasons for crashing like that is overheating (more so if you are overclocking) and a low quality PSU

first I'd try and find if your card has a temperature sensor, so you can tell how hot it is getting. that way if it is because of heat, you won't have wasted money on a PSU you didn't need.
 
Hey, jeremy, is there any way I could show you what you need to see using Sandra, because I don't want to download another program?
 
as far as i remember from another thread , sandra dont support your mobo sensor so youll have to use another program (like everest link ^) or get into the bios and look in pc health/hardwar e monitoring
