Hi guys, apologies if this is not the correct place.
I currently have an Alienware X51 gaming PC with totally standard spec; what they provide.
It has an i5, and a GT 640 Graphics card.
Lately, I had issues with the graphics card due to a 'Kernel Driver malfunction' or something. Dell established this to be a hardware issue, and sent me out a new GT 640, exactly the same, free of charge (under warranty).
Having installed the new graphics card, things seemed to be running great, but then 5 minutes into the game.. the sounds twinge on and off a bit robotic and when this happens, the screen/game lags.
Eventually everything becomes so robotic and clangy/buzzy sounding, the game seems to freeze up and eventually crashes. I have reinstalled my drivers (I think..) and to no avail, it still happens.
The game I play is Arma 2, and I use TeamSpeak 3. I could hear my own voice going robotic aswell as everybody elses.. and also the guys said that they could hear my voice as all crazy robotic too.
Any ideas, solutions or workarounds?
Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Also, there seems to be no overheating.
