Computer freezes when playing games
Hi everyone, my computer keeps freezing I guess you would say when I am playing a game. It first started with far cry 1 I tried an assortment of things thinking it was the game, I had the patches up to date so I decided to re-install it and play w/o patches/updates. It didn't freeze up for a while but eventually it did again. Started playing prince of persia sands of time and it does the same thing. The screen will sometimes go black or an olive green colour... I think it may be a hardware issue maybe the processor not being good enough for the graphics card... Here's my computer:
Windows Vista Ultimate (6.0, build 6001)
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz (Sticker on the front says Celeron D, and Everest home edition says Celeron D 2800MHz)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Series video card 512MB
1.5G of ram (1G) (515mb) 2 filled slots
75GB hard drive
Everything is up to date
I also played Spore on it and it crashed to desktop a couple times with a windows error unlike these other 2 games..
