Hi all,
I realized I was posting in the wrong section. I've been having problems with my video card... My old card was an nVidia 7900gt. I could use that video card for anything BUT gaming and it would be fine. Once I started gaming, the screen would start flashing and ultimately my computer would freeze.
I replaced that card with a new video card, the Radeon 4850. Same issues apply. After gaming for about an hour, the game froze up and I was forced to reset the computer. Normally, I have an external room fan blowing into my computer to keep it from overheating. But I figured with the new VC, I wouldnt have to do it being that its winter and its cold lol!
The weird thing is, I dont even have the case on the computer, its open on both sides, so i'm just curious how and why my computer keeps over heating!
