Hey when i play computer games it freezes sometimes.
And thats reall annoying...
But when i am in a car at SA:MP And it freezes i still hear the music only my screen freezes.
I download directx 9.0 (Dont know if it rly works) and it steel freezes.
I also downloaded newest graphic card drivers.
And when i run a directx 9 installation its done in 1sec :S
And i cant download directx 10 because i got downloaded windows :P
So can anyone help me?

Your computer gets easy warm ?
-
true check heating roel, freezes might be due to heat..
-
Since I got 1 cooler I think inside my computer from the day I buildt it, it has frozen severel times. Many times it has caused when I run too many programs in the background and open Windows Media Player and press "Play" it freeze

@ Omri, offtopic but help for you, Open your case, mine is always open, keeps temp down
-
I used to have it open but I noticed my computer collects damn much dust :)
Just opened it and noticed its allready warm and had it open for max 1 hour now.
-
Remove dust from your van and inside pc. Dont place your pc near the heater as it attracts dust.
-
Been also wondering about my CPU how much it takes, here is a little screenshot I took its allways like that when i'm playing MTA:SA.
Could that also be why my computer freeze sometimes ?

Do you have anything else running that takes you alot of CPU Usage?
-

Processor.

MSN does take some usage. But it depends on your CPU. If its not too old it shouldnt be a problem.
And sorry Roel i dont know... Can you do Ctrl - Alt + Del and still close the game? Or does it completely freeze?
-
I cant do ctr-alt-del :cry:
-
:O bad windows usage...
U should delete some games or format ur pc... get backups before do and u will be fine :) ;)
-

Maybe thats the solution!
Look my brother got a pc and my pc is connected to it and i can just coy games from his pc to my pc!
I copyed like 5of those games:
I just grabbed them and put it in my map
my brothers said that i shouldnt do it but i still did.
So now i just try,Thanks maybe it works :D
Hope so :D
-
Now i deleted like all my games but now it doesnt directly freezes it freezes after 20min..
-
When was the first time you got this problem...
What did you do before you got it, changed anything?
-
When i got this problem?uh 2weeks ago but 1week ago it whas extreme.
Well i only had like 15games on my pc and i deleted 13 and it still freezes.
No i didnt change anything...
-
maybe there can be too much heat inside your computer try to take the sitepanel off it then its get more cold i think my brother do that... :p :ps: if you gonna do that then there will come alot of dust into when it turned on, else can you try to format your computer had the same problem on my old pc i did just format then it stops and i was having a ATI Radeon too so.. :S but good luck with it ;)
-
Now when i am gaming also my pc restarts again without i wanted it...
-
Disconnect all USB devices... External harddrives etc etc... And try again. Maybe your PC has a too low power supply... I dont know :eek:
Can you post your PC specs?
-
yep post your pc spec, i also want to know how much power does your power supply give..
-
Did you try to overclock
Do you have over 10% of your hard drive free of space? ( for 500gb ... 50gb )
Have you installed new drivers before it occured?
Have you installed anything before it occured?
Is your computer making new noises or less noises since it has occured?
Restart while playing = Heat or lack of power supply
Try to play without the sidepanel, it should reduce the temperature. If it still freezes, then its either super high temperature of its your PSU that is getting old. Also check if every cable is connected and if every fan is running like it should.
And post your pc specs!
-
With some types of BIOS, you can view thermal settings to determine if there are any problems with the CPU and the heat sink/fan assembly. Third-party software applications can report CPU temperature information in an easy to read format. Refer to the motherboard or CPU user documentation to determine if the chip is operating in the correct temperature range. Some CPU and case fans turn on and off automatically depending on the CPU temperature and the internal case temperature. The temperatures are measured through thermal probes built into the fan assembly, or internal circuitry in the CPU.
Meaning you should probably buy a new power supply that provides more power for all your PC components.

This may be of some help:

What u mean with post PC Specs and how can i find them?:P
And its not to warm in my pc its 29.3 C
-
Start > Uitvoeren > type "cmd" > type "dxdiag"
Then note everything you need...
For the supply of our "Voeding" you probably have to look inside the PC.

-
