Good evening HardwareTwitch
If you think you may have a virus / bug download and scan with malwarebytes http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=malwarebytes&platformSelect=Windows&tag=srch%3Ba&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows&filter=platform%3DWindows If it comes out clean which I think it will.
If you think it is just under heavy loads, update your chipset drivers, video card drivers and see it that helps.
Check for updates for your (for XP only) DirectX if needed, check for Java / Flash updates if the main issue is only on line.
Check the event viewer logs for errors that you have received that may point us in the direction that you are having the issue in I would tell you how to do this but you didn't say what your OS was.
The video card still maybe the issue and may be failing.
If it is happening more and more start with the above and let us know how you make out, Mike
Os i have------>windows xp sp2
I followed your options and these were the results i got-
-installed malware bytes and got 2 detected but that was some kind of installer in download section,removed them .Now none is there as detected by it.
-2 months back i guess i installed new driver for my nividia 7300se/7200gs.
- direct x i have is 9.0c, and that is the latest i guess.
checked flash version,newer is available--so installed it.
-in event viewer, under different logs i could not find any entry written with error sign
only found single warning sign under application log..it was something like this "source:userenv event:1517 user:system"
One more point to mention-i installed driver for graphic card 2 months back and then few days back uninstalled it, after reboot i didn't got any display.after 2-3 trials it gave display and had no nividia software in it.
so i again installed the downloaded driver version(6.14.12.8558) which.
Is it possible some sort of driver error may be existing which is causing such freezing?
if it is ,please do tell me how to uninstall it properly and then re-install the new version of it and where to get the newer version for my graphic card 7300se/7300gs.
All that is happening is whenever i start playing game, immediately after 1-2 minutes it hangs and jarring sound comes and i have to restart the machine manually.
Any more options to try out,please do mention it.
Thanks in advance.
