Hi, I have a fairly old Desktop PC with the following specs:
Intel Pentium D CPU 2.8GHZ
2 GB Ram - two 1 GB sticks
Geforce 8800 GTS
Vista Home Premium 32 Bit
It should be noted that after I bought and installed my 8800 GTS I bought a larger power supply.
My problem is that everything I run, even Firefox sometimes, crashes. All my games crash after a random amount of time, some after 15 minutes others after 3 hours.
Most, almost all of my games crash with the: "bla bla is not working, shutting down" Vista message.
Except FarCry 2, which simply closes, with no message. Just exits to the Desktop and that's it.
This is a really annoying problem for several reasons:
I want my computer to run properbly.
I play WoW and its a pain when it crashes during Raids etc.
FarCry 2 doesn't have Quciksaves, and its a really big pain when it crashes and I haven't saved for a long time due to the long stretches you have to travel in the game.
Please, can someone help me with this problem?
I've read a little about changing CPU bus times and something with RAM, but I have no idea how to do any of these things.
Please, good people, help me .
