I set up this computer for my wife. Some of the parts are 3-4 years old, but have worked fine up until now.
Sometimes while she is online playing DDO her computer will just freeze up, at times wierd graphics. This is happening more often now and she is annoyed.
The last time it froze, I was home to see it and the computer made short low tones, about 30 seconds apart, for about 5-7 tones.
Usually re-boots are fine, sometimes she has to reboot twice because she can’t get online.
I guess before I go out and buy a new graphics card I wanted to make sure it isn’t something else.
What I have done so far:
Turned off computer, sprayed off the motherboard, made sure the tines of the CPU cooling system were dust free, sprayed off the fan and other cooling parts of the computer.
Checked for new nvidia driver updates, none for this card: geforce fx 5500.
Any ideas what can be done?
