Durring gameplay, first noticed on WoW, my system will sporadically crash to a black screen and the sound will loop. My system is as follows.
600W PSU
768 MB DDR Ram
Nvidia GeForce 7800 GS W/ 512 MB Ram
2000+ AMD Athlon Processor (1.6 GHz)
All on an Emachine T2085
In a previous post on the WoW support forum, it was suggested by a forum person to replace the 250W PSU, which inlighted me to the fact that my system probably shouldn't have been able to even start with that little of a PSU. Now, however, that has been replaced by the 600W PSU, and the problem still occurs. Any suggestions on a fix?
The same problem occurs when playing Red Faction(single player, or multiplayer). It is not strictly related to WoW.
Also, I have tried running either program with the case of my PC open, in hopes it was merely overheating. This seemed to have no affect.
I have the lastest version of direct X, and am almost entirely sure it is no a driver compatibility issue.
Anyone have an idea as to what a fix to this issue could be? Thanks in advance for your replies.
