iv just built a new comp (2days old, all new components) .

Graphics- nVidia 9800 GTX
Processor- AMD 64 x2 6000 3.1GHZ
Mother Board- Abit AX78
RAM- x2 Crucial 1066

when i play counter strike it will play great for an hour or so, then it locks up. the screen goes black and the sound loops. cant ctrl+alt+del, cant alt+f4. i have to turn off the power and restart.

my processor is running at 53 deg/c so cooling isnt the prob. GPU @ 35 deg/c

i had the same problem with my old laptop. (acer aspire 9420- geforce 7300) i tried everything i could think of and nothing worked until one day it stopped doing it. i dont know if it was after an update or new drivers, it just worked.

Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
