Well, I want other views on this also, I'm so certain it's the graphics card.. Bought a second hand graphics card 30pound.. it's a hd3870, it actually is a solid card for the price.. went on with 2gb ddr2 800, along with a 6k amd 3ghz x2, now now here's the story
I bought some games, skyrim, splinter cell and assassins creed, I put all my details for skyrim on low and in windows mode.. after a while it would shut down on skyrim but before the shut down it would kind of freeze every 2mins or so.. for the 1st 10mins no freeze then it all starts, it reset my computer and everything went black... I soon sorted my problems out.. downloaded rivatuner to tweak the fan speeds, kept the graphics card at 60c, nice temp, loaded skyrim back, same problems but I stopped it from shutting down, all it does now is freeze every 2mins or so.. for 5seconds..
When I did a 3d mark it would do the same testing the games their, at first theirs no lag and then 10mins into any game it begins to lag..
I personally don't think it's my cpu or ram but what do you think/
You think the graphics card has had it's use and time to go get a brand new one? i have my works wages so I will be buying one soon.. I have an eye on 1, it's alot newer then the old one i bought
So what about you, this ever happend to you?
The games cost me fortune.. skyrim and assassins creed set me back at 65pound.. spinter was only few quid.. wasn't botherd about that, just wanted to play these 3 games, this is why I purchased and upgraded the pc.. it use to be a standerd 1gb amd 1.8ghz with onbored but then I tuned it up, gotta admit it's freakin fast but ye.. kinda depressed I can't play what everyone else is..
