Recently I've been experiencing crashes while play games. This mostly only happens after I've been playing for a really long time. The game stalls and then completely freezes and I cant do ANYTHING. Last night it happened, and then I got a blank black screen and couldn't do anything, but the computer was still running. I restarted immediately, and it froze during boot-up. I shut it down and then waited a few minutes to restart again, and this time I got past boot-up but got a message "Overclocking Failed!" (im not overclocking...) It then froze at this point. So I shut down and then waited a few HOURS, and rebooted again, and it booted up fine. All this SEEMS to point to a heat issue but ive been checking my temperatures and they never get above 50C.... any ideas what might be the problem?Well Bootzy, I have no idea why your computer gave you those messages, but I DO know that some games crash becuase of add-ons..... What games are you having porblems with? ALSO, please supply us with your system specs. (memory, operating system, etc.) for your computer. This information can help us make a proper diagnosis.

[glb]Flame[/glb]Does it happen when not playing a game?
Sounds like your computer is overheating. Check fans.
Scanned for viruses?Well, it actually only happens while playing world of warcraft. it never happens any other time. I checked on their technical support forum and found that many people are having the same issue, so I assume its something to do with the game. I have a 3.2ghz p4 with 1024mb ram, geforce 5900 xt video card...i DONT have any problems playing games with heavier graphics like ut2004, and my temps never get above 50c, all fans are working, checked all of them. many people have mentioned it being related to heat though, but i just dont see how that can be when i can play other games at higher temps without a problem.In that case, check for a game patch and contact the game developer.hi when i play my game all the time it eather shuts off or my computer restarts.its been doing this scince i got the game can you please help ma?

ThankYouOk... I need to know which video card you have... It sounds like your video card is not compatible.... What kind do you have?
