[Cant Stop Me]

Everytime I play CSS or any other game around 10-50 minutes my game will stop and my screen will turn all pink and pixelated, then I have to reboot. I assumed it was my video card so I updated the drivers etc, but it still does it. >_< any ideas?

maybe you aint got enough RAM or your video card cant handle it?

it may be a temperature issue, do you have any monitoring software for your card?

try running rthdribl, which stresses your gfx card and see what happens:

are you overclocking it at all? If so turn down the clock speeds, its unstable

If not, its a dead card, RMA it


EDIT: or the PSU isnt powerful enough, depending on what card it is, but you didnt want to specify, so.

my card is a nvidia 7600, thanks for all of this, I'll try and post the results.

:and I have more than enough RAM so that's not the issue.

If the PSU isn't powerful enough wouldn't there be problems almost as soon as he starts gaming?

yea I said that

I would say if he had a 400w or over, it would be fine. Quality matters A LOT on PSU's though, not just how many watts or amps it has. a Bad-name or Generic 600w could be way worse than a GOOD 450w

All I can think is it's the power supply.
