As the title says, i just completed my budget gamer pc.
specs: NF7-S V2 with Soundstorm
Barton 2600+ with thermaltake silent boost. arctic silver
OCZ dual channel pc2700 2x256
60GB HDD- to be replaced soon
Geforce 5200- 128MB -to be replaced soon
8x dvd burner
The main game i am concerned with is doom3. I cannot go 5 minutes without the game either freezing, going black screen, or exiting to desktop. (The same for delta force.) I have gone through doom3 technical support with no luck. They suggested lowering quality and resolution settings, replacing the config file, updating my video drivers, making sure bios cpu/memory were in spec, and checking cpu.case temps. I have done all these things and my problem continues. Could this be caused by a bad cpu, bad vid card, outdated bios(i have version25 and newest is 26), outdates nvidia chipset/soundstorm drivers, or what? I am extremely frustrated at this point and may have forgot some things..... someone out there please point me toward the dim light.
your time is much appreciated _________________ If you can read this, you have hacked my encryption. HACKER! |

Right now i am at work and the computer is sitting at home so i cannot answer your questions with full detail, but i'll do my best. I am running at 166Mhz with i think 12.5x(stock settings) The memory is brand new, i originally thought the mem caused the problem so i exchanged the sticks. The power supply came with the case, raidmax cobra http://www.xoxide.com/cobra.html
The case has all the original fans, i think its 4 plus vid fan plus cpu fan. I dont know if the fan on the vid card is operating correctly, but that will be the first thing i check out when i get home. If the cpu is not seated right, would the computer auto shut down even when i am browsing the internet? _________________ If you can read this, you have hacked my encryption. HACKER! |
