I just got my new computer.
Along with that, some problems.
Computer specs:
Antec Nine Hundred.
Corsair VX 550W PSU.
Intel Core i5 @ 2.66 GHz.
MSI P55-CD53.
HD 5850 Black Edition.
4 GB RAM.
WD Black 750 GB HDD.
Windows XP professional 32bit.
When I join a server in BF BC2, the game either crashes or the computer freezes.
In Call of Duty, it sometimes just freezes, the HDD led is on, like if the HDD was working like hell. It lasts for like 10 secs.
It's pissing me off.
Anyone who know how I can fix this?
Latest video drivers installed?
Yeah.
Trying to reinstall it now.
Maybe some damaged RAM, hangs because it can't read/write a block. Any other programs that do it?
It's only the two games.
Why do you have 32 bit installed?
Cause I had an old CD with it.
Getting Windows 7 soon though.
[Testing the RAM]
Download the latest version of MemTest 86+, unzip it, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Let Memtest+ run for at [U]least[/U] three hours on each stick of RAM separately as well as test the RAM all together. If you start seeing errors, then your RAM is defective or you have set incorrect settings for the RAM in the BIOS.
[Testing the Hard Drive]
Download the CD image of Hitachi Drive Fitness Test, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Test the hard drive and see if any problems are found. DFT will run on most manufacturers' hard drives. Alternatively, you can use Seagate's SeaTools for DOS to test a Seagate or Maxtor drive. For a Western Digital drive, you could use Data Lifeguard Tools for DOS to test a Western Digital drive.
[Testing the CPU]
Test the CPU using one or more of these programs: Prime 95, OCCT, Orthos, Intel Burn Tool, or LinX.
[Testing the GPU]
Use Furmark or ATI Tool to stress test the GPU. If you see any artifacts, the GPU could be overheating, too overclocked, or faulty.
[Testing the PSU]
Buy and use a digital multimeter to monitor the voltages coming from the PSU. Follow the instructions for "Using a multi-meter to check voltages":
