I have a new computer that I just built. It works great when NOT running a first person shooter (TF2, Call of Duty 4) I can run the game for a while (sometimes 45 minutes other times it only runs about 5 minutes) The computer screen will freeze up and sometimes I get the BSOD, but with no real information on it. It just flashes up and restarts. When it does I am good for another 5 to 45 minutes. The computer is running at about 34 to 45 degrees Celsius, so I don't think it is getting too hot. I have updated Vista and all the drivers. (Except the bios, but the mother board is only about 2 weeks old.) I need to say that it runs fine with Guild Wars and other programs. (Internet, Office 2007...) I have tried it without over clocking and it is doing the same thing.
I have removed the 6800 video card and still doing it also
Does anyone have any ideas?
