 |
|
Sometimes when I play games [I usually bot like 3 clients of Tibia] or I play another game after some time my pc just completely freezes.
When my PC runs a orange LED beeps on my case, but when it freezes it stops too.
Anyone knows what this could be?
I have a pretty new computer,
5GB Ram
Intel Q8200 QuadCore 2
Asus P5N-T if im right
Nvidia 9500GT graphicscard

1. Do you lose signal to the monitor if you let it sit while frozen? Does it just shut off or hang?
2. Watch GPU temps obsessively
3. Memtest

Yes, overheating or corrupted ram are main reasons for this phenomenon. Follow what slovach told you to do (GPU temps and memtest).
Keeping in mind you bot Tibia watch the CPU temp too - that game loves to torture CPUs.

I don't really lose signal I think, since the screen is just like a screenshot, normally some icons near my time are flashing but when my PC freezes even those don't move anymore.
2. Watch GPU temps obsessively
I'll try watching it later today with Speedfan.
3. Memtest
How do I do this? |
And yea, I know Tibia loves to torture CPUs.
I don't think its overheating because I have a very big fan inside my computer.
This is my case:
The big red thing on the left is one big fan, the smaller one on front too.
By the way, anyone knows how to stop my PC going on Stand-By after xx hours by itselfs?

About the Stand-by thing: Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings >Change Advanced Power Settings > Sleep > Sleep After: Never.
That's in Vista/W7.

If im right when the PC goes on standby, my botcharacter will go offline I guess?
Thanks, changed it.
EDIT: Made a screenshot of my PC when having 3 clients of Tibia botting with Lowest framerate possible.

Hmm, the temps can't be the problem, though they are little high. Check the air stream in the case (the temps are way too high for that huge fan).
Do a memtest and if it shows no errors - try updating your drivers (maybe to the 2nd first, since its easier and takes 5 mins).

Where can I do a memtest?
I got the same freeze today, but without having any game on so I guess gaming makes those freezes occur easier.

| You can just put it on a floppy and boot to it. If you don't have a floppy drive, you can burn it to a CD, but it would be better to burn something more useful if you're going to use a non-rewriteable CD. For instance, many Linux distros have Memtest at their boot screen.

This icon turns from orange to nothing when my pc freezes, I was also watching my temps and there wasn't something weird there.
This is what the icon looks like.
Looks a bit like a battery or idk.

That symbol just means your hard drive is going under load. It should flicker from time to time when you're using your computer normally. Of course, if your computer freezes, that icon will be lit up, but it doesn't really have much to do with your computer freezing.
