fire_storm Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Does the computer freeze when you play other games or just in Crysis? Is the card overclocked in anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCrookie Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 havent tried any other games only have crysis installed right now and no card is at stock speeds no overclock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Then try to underclock it. If the problems are gone, then put it back to stock speeds. Test again, and if they come back, the card is definitely not stable at manufacturer's clocks. So you would need to RMA it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Does the game freeze up at a certain mission or certain spot when your playing the game? Or just a random un-predictable spot? Since the computer is not overclocked in anyway I'm thinking that its either A) There is driver or software issue or conflicting conguring causing the problem. B) If the game freezes up in only 1 spot all the time or most of the time it's possible its just a bug in the game. If you can try to install more games on your computer and play them and see if the problem occurs in other games. Also try download and installing 3dmark06 and running it through a couple of times to see weather the computer freezes up or not.

OCrookie Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 now it crashes before it even starts i guess i'll have to try uninstalling and reinstalling the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIxNullxII Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Did you happen to go with EVGA again? If so, try downloading their overclocking software and turn the fan speed from auto to manual and set it to 100% for a few min before trying to play a game. Idle/load should be 50/63c or so. http://www.evga.com/precision/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dling Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Try running 3dmark 06 to see if it can get thru that, I think it uses a lot of the graphics card to run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCrookie Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 yes it is evga have had the fan speed at 70% gpu stay pretty cool around 55c, 3d mark runs fine i ran a benchmark right after i installed the new card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCrookie Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 i just ran 3dmark vantage and it ran fine not the best score i dont think P10658. gonna try running system restore to see if that helps i think maybe the game files might have gotten screwed up i'll report back later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
