Title: Big PC problem.
Post by: Cross on August 12, 2007, 05:19:27 pm: Alright i have a problem going on for like 5 months.
When i play games like: WoW, The Movies, FoM ect. my PC just freezes.
It mostly happen when its a hot day.
The strange thing is, i don't got this problem when am playing SA:MP, LOTRO.

When my PC freezes, nothing will fix it, only a restart.
Maybe you can give me some tips, before i throw it out of the window..

So do this. Push all the cables inside the box to the side to increase airflow

I would recommend turning the computer off and unplugging it while you do this

Post by: Helljumper89 on August 12, 2007, 10:41:38 pm: lol.. if you want to find out your system specs do this... click the Start button at the lower left, then click Control Panel, while in the Control Panel find on the top left a thing that says switch to classic view click it. Go to System wait for it to load and look at your specs. Mine are, Intel[R] Pentium 4 CPU 2.53GHz and 256 RAM.

If you want to find out your video card do this.. right click on your desktop, click properties go to settings and look under display to see what video card you have if any..
