Computer Freezes When Playing Games
Hey 7Forums,
After my last graphics card has died on me (HD6850), I have been able to borrow a friends GFX Card (HD5770) and have been having a strange problem - this problem is not unique to my computer, it also was happening in his computer when using the same GFX Card.
Right on to the problem:
- What happens is that the computer will be running just fine, until I open a game.
- After opening a game it will run perfectly but then every minute of so it will freeze the whole computer for maybe 5-10 seconds. Whilst doing this the sound of hardware being removing and reinserting will play (the same sound that happens if you was to unplug and re insert a usb stick)
- And then this will persist as long as I have the game open, closing the game makes the problem go away.
- This has only been happening since using this GFX card, and want to know if these is anyway of fixing it.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
