Games Crashing - BLACK SCREEN

[r5r4y]

Finally, The problem is solved... I took the computer to my PC vendor, the problem was the PSU overheating and that made the graphic card fail... I'm not sure why the crash dumps blamed ATI.

Also my computer case is not big enough for all this big hardware and there is a lot of heat I need to find a new case now that will help me with cooling down my hardware... any suggestions?

While you're at it you may want to invest in a water cooling system or a good fan.

Yes I was thinking that way but my case is not big enough for water cooling system...
My computer case is now SILVERSTONE PS01-E, I've got 4 fans but It's not enough it seems.

Thank you for posting your solution, that may well help someone else. I am glad to hear you found the problem and solved it.

Failing power supplies can cause a variety of problems and they are usually masked as hardware problems. The video card and drivers are frequently affected and blamed in dumps. There is no real way to test a power supply at home except by trying another power supply.

I suggest you post your question about cases and cooling in the Performance & Maintenance section.

You could always remove the side panel of your PC to alway air to circulate more freely if your PC is in a safe enough position to do that (IE not where it can be jabbed at by pets, children, feet, hands etc. as to avoid electrocution, damage to the PC, use common sense).

thanks mate

Just would like to say thanks for this post, i have been going through the same thing for the last month and has just committed to an reasonable expensive power supply, still waiting for delivery as only ordered it today, but whilst waiting decided to read me dump files with success! and found the error witch took me to this site

So hopefully you have set my mind at rest that it was the right thing to do to spend the £120 on a
XFX 850W Black Edition Modular PSU (P1-850B-NLG9)


On a good point through if it doesnt fix my error at least i wont be running my system on the current CIT 750 watt

Hello I hope it will solve your problem, my problem was my case...
It wasn't big enough and most of the air from the fans just stayed there and that made my computer extremely hot, also the cables were crowded and that did not help to solve my problem.

Good luck mate.
