Computer freezes when loading into full screen games

[Vigor]

My computer has gone weird recently, it freezes everytime I try to open up a game such as frozen throne, world of warcraft, etc. Not sure what the problem is, so i scanned a hijack log.

Appreciate any help

Just one thing I see (I'm not an expert on reading HijackThis logs) is that you should uninstall Weatherbug. It's been known to have spyware bundled with it. I don't think this will fix your problem, but it's just something I wanted you to be aware of.

EDIT: Try updating your video card's drivers.

 

[gamerman4]

Well updating video drivers can usually fix problems with games. If they are up-to-date, you can either reinstall them or downgrade to an older version (I had to do this yesterday to fix an HL2 problem). You can also download Omega drivers, these are what I use and have had less problems with games wth them.
Here is the link http://www.omegadrivers.net/

 

[Vigor]

I downloaded and installed the Omega driver but it didn't help. Oh does any of you know how to run memtest86? I downloaded it but don't know how to run it.

 

[cell4me]

I see nothing in your log that would cause this problem...you do have a few things that could be fixed though.

I would have to suspect a driver or hardware issue, maybe video card is getting to hot.

Have you ever cleaned out your pc? I have to take mine and blow out all the dust from the heat sinks at least once every 6 months because they get clogged and my cpu and video card will run too hot.

 

[Vigor]

Oh I see, I'll do that now... I went into BIOS to check temp few days ago and CPU temp was at 61 degree celcius, is that high?

 

[ReverseFluxx]

Yeah that's quite high, especially when it's not under load. I bet you just need to give your case a good cleaning.

 

[Vigor]

I cleaned the computer and the temp is down to 40 degree celcius. Games are working right now, thanks for the hints!
