Crashing, crashing, crashing
It all started off with the game HAWX. Played fine for a few minutes, maybe up to 10-15 min but then crash- game freeze, sound continued for a few more seconds then stalled. Needed to reboot PC to go anywhere. Ctrl-alt-del not work. Went through their support services and got usual list of things to do - reload game, ensure drivers up to date, flash BIOS, shut down all non-essential programs, run in XP mode,... Eventually they gave up and said the game wasn't designed for Windows 7 so tough luck (it wasn't their exact wording but it gave the general idea).
Other resource hungry games work fine- e.g. Crysis, Bioshock, CoD Modern Warfare, Fallout 3, Medal of Honor, etc.
Now during Call of Duty: Black Ops I am back to the same problem as HAWX. Plays fine for maybe 10-20 minutes then crash - screen frozen. Occasionally can Ctrl-Alt-Del out of it but often stuck and need to reboot PC. Managed to create a dump file during a Ctrl-Alt-Del but no idea what to do with it. Would happily upload but even the zipped version is >600MB. Seems to happen during the single player game but not during internet mutliplayer games.
DxDiag should be attached. Grateful for any suggestions.
thanks JM
