Hi,
I wasn't sure where to put this!
The two games I have recently been playing are CS:S and Warcraft III, after a while of playing the sound on the game freezes on one bit of noise and the screen freezes with grey squares everywhere.
I thought it was a cooling problem to begin with as my CPU was getting as hot as 80 degrees celsius, but I fitted a new fan and now average about 30 degrees celsius, even when playing games.
When I put in the fan I refitted the whole case, and for a few days after that I had no crashing problems, but now they have come back.
I don't know what is useful so I will just list everything.
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 4870
PSU: Enermax Liberty 620W
CPU: Core 2 Quad 2.66MHz
MB: Gigabyte X48T-DQ6
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Corsair
My graphics card averages about 66 degrees celsius.
I don't know if I connected the power to the card wrong, it was supplied with a connector which plugged into the card and then is powered by molex. But when I turned the computer on a message displayed saying I needed to plug another cable in, so I plugged one of my PSU's modular PCI-E cables directly into the other empty slot on the graphics card, then it worked fine.
I just ran memtest86+ and it found no errors.
Any help will be useful!
