Computer freezes when playing games
Hey Guys,
I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 570. Its processor is AMD Athlon II X4 630 at 2.8 GHZ
Whenever I play games such as Call of Duty or FIFA 11, the screen falters and everything freezes. After a few seconds, the screen becomes a board of checkers in all the colors you can imagine.
I have tried calling Dell but their help is useless at best.
Is it my ATI Radeon 4200? Is it the actual screen?
I would really appreciate your help and ideas.
One more thing, a friend suggested I use the BurnIn test program and even during the running of the test, the same problem happened without finding out the results.
If I should simply buy a higher performance video card, let me know. Thanks for your help and ideas.
THe link below will show you a picture of what my screen looks like during this problem.
