Monitor troubles

[Skawt]

Whenever I play a full screen game, about 15 minutes into it my monitor and speakers start going haywire. The monitor starts flickering and freezing in some spots on the screen, and my speakers start to let out some loud static noises...

Any ideas what is wrong?

not a monitor fault definately,

lemme know your graphic card? a possibility that GPU gets hotter.

I have integrated video on my mobo.

 

[Blind_Arrow]

then at least tell me motheroard manufacturer + model

integrated means, problem in not just one, but many areas applicable.

I'm not sure what it is exactly... but I just opened up my case and it doesn't look like the fan on the power supply is running.

fan on PSU? as if this is the case, means your PSU gets hotter, (or) you want to say that the fan on CPU? (assuming mistakenly written), as when you are playing games, your hardware is at boost.

as if I have to quote my example, I usually dont play games, but Once i installed Age of Mythdology, and my PSU's fan speed increased, as because my graphic card was pumping iron, needing more wattage, and therfore PSU got hotter, and it doubled its fan speed.

to see what your mobo is: i'll be linking a software here, called Astra32.

this is beta version, but will tell you what u have inside, download it, chekc ur sytstem and tell me then.

Well, my computer was just over heating i suppose. My case has a really stupid design, it doesn't let much heat out and with the PSU fan not on it just over heated. I have the case open right now and a fan blowing on it and it is working just fine. I think I'm going to buy a new case because of this.

hmm, means that solves your problem, have you tried playing same game?

try playign it with a case lid opened, and some fan towards it (basically drawing hot air out rapidly out of casing) or as well, pushign cool air in.

if your system works fine, means you have heating problem. change case and insert fans at back.

Yeah, I played the game with a fan on it and the case open. Works fine now, but I don't know if I should put my second hard drive back in or not.

do it, wihout hassle, hard drive dont dissepate too much heat as CPU/Northbridge does
