Lately, a lot of simple games have been locking my computer up.
I'm running on 512mb ram, with a Radeon X800xt video card, yet for some reason, my computer completely locks up whilst playing games like warcraft 3, world of warcraft, lord of the rings: battle for middle earth and other games that should not present a problem to my system.
What usually happens is the screen freezes, then weird distortion comes out of the speakers, and even sometimes the screen jumbles itself up. The only way i can get out of it is to hold trhe power switch down.
I have recently updated my video cards driver from the ATI official website, yet the games still lock the computer up! Please help me someone, no longer can i enjoy gaming!
