Bluescreen everytime.

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 6:48 pm

I am facing the utter evil. Something WORST than 30 dragons togheter and a mammoth running toward you. Bluecreens. It's not the usual "Screen got blue, PC reboot".

I play about 5-10 minutes and then... everything goes black and the audio stucks like a scratched CD... only then my PC reboots.

Didn't hear about nobody having this problem so far...

What shall I do? :(

Call me... Bluescreenborne.

EDIT: Using a poor ol' Nvidia GT 220.
If someone thinks it's better buying a new VGA, tell me one. I'll buy it tomorrow ??

But if there's anything I can do to play with this GT 220 for now... I'll be happy.

'bout the system:

I5 with 2.4GHZ (overclocked to 3.0 if I may)
8GB Ram DDR3 1333MHZ.

(Yeah, I work with 3D. Didn't care about buying VGA since 3d softwares does not use massively VGAs. wel.. whatever..)

Sounds like overheating mother board or processor, you may need to open up your pc and clean the cat out of the inside

Time to clean up the cat.

So far, nothing else has bothered me.

Let's see, then!

You guys were right. overheating. Unfortunately I had to put a mega-cooler attached to my PC. Let's call it giant-cooler.

But, hey, Skyrim is nice game. I'll spend nice hours playing it!

Thank you all. It all was too simple to solve.
