Alright where to start?
Well my computer has been crashing frequenly as of recent. But it only crashes when I’m playing a game, or putting a demand on the graphics card.
Just an example, I’d be playing games such as Fall Out 3, Warhammer Online, or Left 4 Dead, and my computer would act as if it went into a hibernation mode and I would be unable do anything except a hard restart, and I would also have a looping sound.
We thought maybe that graphics card was bad, so we put in a different one (it was actually the same exact one, just physically a different one.) I still crashed.
So then we put in the graphics card that came with the computer, everything worked fine, no crashes. One of the key things notable about the two graphic card, was that the one I kept on crashing with needed extra power from my power supply, the one that came with my computer, didn’t. So I figured that the power supply might of been going bad.
I bought a new power supply, hooked it up with the better graphics card (the one I kept on crashing with) and it worked fine for a good 30 minutes, then the same exact thing happened.
I’ve ran my Virus scanner, nothing. Ran some spyware stuff, nothing. I ran Windows Memory checker, didn’t find any error. I defragmented, ran disk checker, disk cleaner. Yet I still crash.
I’m not very good at figuring out whats in the Event Log, and I’ve been reading something about minidumps or something.
So if you guys could tell me what might be going on, it would be great. Here is some information about my computer.
