Hey guys, this is a new thread continued from an old one you can find here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/297437-33-geforce-comp-freezes-help
I thought the problem was fixed, so I marked it as solved. But alas, it is not. We have determined that the problem is not the GPU overheating and that the problem lies elsewhere.
Here's what happens: While playing SC2, my screen just randomly goes black, the audio starts looping, and I'm forced to restart. This now happens every time I try to play any game.
Here are my specs:
Specs:
GPU: GeForce GTX 260
Driver
: 258.96
Resolution: 1280x1024
OS: Windows XP
(x32?)
Processor: Intel core duo E8400 @ 3.00GHZ
2.00GB of ram
Service Pack 3
and some tests I ran:
Furmark 3D:
SCORE:4947 points (60000 ms)
Max GPU Temp: 71°C
Resolution: 1274x992 (W) - MSAA: 0X
FPS: min=47 max=151 avg=83
When running the Furmark, MSI afterburner recorded these stats:
Max GPU temp: 71c
GPU Usage range : 94-99% shot up from 5 when nothing was running.
Fan Speed: min 40, max 70
Core Clock and Shader Clock are 576 and 1242 respectively.
Please help! Any and all suggestions are welcome. This is really beginning to bug me. Thanks in advance.
