• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 problem
    1 replies, posted
Hello! I have got a really rare problem. After 5 minutes in-game the screen freezes and gets black for about 2 seconds. It makes me either restart the whole game or, in source games press "CTRL ALT DELETE" and then press on the game again, and wait 1 minute to get back in the game. Well, this is quit an irritating bug (Because it's not possible to play any game). I have had this bug since November/December last year, and it's starting to get unbelievably annoying. I actually handed in my computer to the store I bough it in and the personal tried loads of things without understanding what was causing the problems. I just wounder if anyone have got the same problem and if anybody has solved the problem. Well, to say all this in a simple way. Has anybody had any specific problems with the same graphic car as I have, NVIDIA GeForce 295 GTX?
[QUOTE=Gurrazor;21987175]personal tried loads of things without understanding what was causing the problems.[/QUOTE] Never do this. Store computer repair employees are dumber than a room full of chimps with screwdrivers. I would gather the GPU is either overheating, you have corrupt/bad drivers or the card is defective. In the first two cases, make sure the fan isn't clogged with dust and that it's spinning properly. You can turn the fan speed up with rivatuner or in the Nvidia control panel if you have the NV system tools installed. Second would to be to reinstall the drivers and see if that helps. If the card is defective/broken, you can RMA it if it's still under warranty. Try another video card in the machine and see if it has the same problem.
