Lots of problems occure while playing games...

[Guy]

I have a P4 2.8 GHz, with GeForce 4 Ti 4400 TD128 in it, and 512 MB of DDR.



Now, after a few minutes of playing a game (any game), the sound gets cut off for some reason.

Right after that happens, the monitor begins to flicker...

Then it returns to its original mode, but still- no sound, and the monitor tends to turn off and on every few seconds.

It happens to me in any game, all are games that my computer already ran smoothly.
The problem just... started... for no obvious reason.

Even ones which aren't very demanding...



When I do regular office work on it, nothing happens.

But every time I play, the problem occures in minutes- not in a specific point of a game- just like that.



Would you help me finding the source of the problem, and fixing it?



Thanks,

Guy

Can you test with a known good power supply of adequate strength? Test RAM with memtest86 (free at www.memtest86.org) And also check cooling with the BIOS if possible in the case. How many fans and are they all turning? If you open the side and blow a large fan directly in there does that improve performance, length of playing time?

Try looking on the game manufacturer's website for an update or "patch". Also, have you made any changes AT ALL to your system just before this happened? Did you download any files? Anything?

Have we got another gravedigger?

I hate people who love digging up older posts ANDREIB.
