I have had a problem for a really long time, and now i really want to play my games. The problem is that my games do not play. Backups and real games don't work. I am able to install the games and when i double click the shortcut, (or just launch the game) I will get as far as the first screen or the loading screen for that game. Then my computer will freeze. So i am forced to turn it off or restart. Again, the actual disc or backup discs don't work. I have directx 9, and i have updated it. So, how can i play my games? Thanks.
Could be drivers, or an overheating problem. My old comp would do the same thing and it was because of overheating.
Overheating, Really? I was using google and reading someones problem similar to mine, and someone mentioned something about overheating. Some of my games load fine and some do not. I just installed Everest Home. Is there a way i can check to see if my computer was overheating with that? What do you recommend i do if my computer is actually overheating? An off topic question: I was thinking of reformatting. Do you know if i can use the same serial to activate windows if i am installing the same os from the same disc? Thanks
A program called speedfan http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php And yes you can use the same serial, but if you format about every other month...( like me ) it will eventually cut you off after about 10 times .
Do you know of a tutorial for speedfan? Are there any settings i need to adjust. The program is a little confusing. Thanks
I dont know much about it but I do know that you can change the speed of the fan on the tab Readings. You can put the percentage up to 100%. Thats all I know sorry. You can check their website though.
Do you know if its possible to take out the video card from a laptop and put it in a desktop pc? Because my brother owns a laptop and i was thinking of taking it out and putting it in mine.
I just bought a video card and installed it with a lot of trouble. I don't know if all the settings are right, but my games still freeze.
Mine use to do that too. When I added an extra gig of ram the comp completely froze and I couldn't move the mouse at all. I fixed that by doing a bios update on the motherboard. I dunno if that is your problem, but its a possibility.
Even if they weren't up to date the game would still load in "software" mode but it would take a longer time. It could be over heating like they said above. But it depends on how how your processor is. If your using a gigabyte board or idk if it matter. Download Easy Tune 5.
Thanks for the replies. Hmm, how do i do a bios update? I just reinstalled the driver for my Radeon card, and nothing seemed to change. Driver up to date? I just got the card and installed it so i assume they are up to date. I will check to see if theres a newer version. I will also see what i can do with EasyTune 5.
Be careful when you do this. I'm not sure if it will work, but its a possibility. This can be dangerous if you don't do it correctly. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Fil...=OS+Independent&lang=eng&strOSs=38&submit=Go!
