Appreciate any help, thanks. Posted by: sylwek specs would be nice... but to me sounds like faulty RAM. try downloading the Microsoft memory test here: [url]http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp[/url] and create a bootable floppy or cd from it and let it run on system boot, and let it run for like 1-2hrs. if it shows any errors then time for new RAM!i!i Posted by: Wingdings My specs are AMD 3200+ 64bit, 1024mb kingston PC3200 ram, K-8 Trinton Mobo, Geforce 6600 GT. the probly is, it will only occur in certain games, are sound codecs known to cause such an issue? or any codec for that matter.

[/B][/QUOTE] No not really but if u configure the codec going beyond ur system limit they might cause some errors . what codec are u using? Posted by: shortman654 It could be that the video card is overheating... Posted by: Wingdings Hmm, that reminds me, if i rightclick video files my screen goes black for a split second, maybe it is my GPU overheating, thanks. Posted by: sylwek What kind of temps are u getting with ur card? vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
