| 363388 | 2005-06-12 17:22:00 | Alright, most of my games have this problem. Anywhere from 1-20 minutes into the game, the computer gets sent into standby. I have no idea why this is happening. Let me give you the list of problematic games vs. good games Problems with: Guild Wars Psychonauts Rome: Total War Empire Earth II Good Games: Half-life 2 Battlefield 1942 Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War Neverwinter Nights Here are my specs ASUS K8N4-e Deluxe Mobo AMD 64 3000+ Mushkin 512MB pc3200 RAM DVDRW 120GB HDD PCI-e 6600GT GPU Btw, I just bought a 20 to 24 pin converter, cause I have read that AMD 64's may be a little unstable powerwise with a 20 male end in the 24 pin female. I know I have enough cooling. So, if anyone has any recommendations, they would be extremely appreciated |

| 363390 | 2005-06-12 22:14:00 | I used to have the same problem too, the source of my problems seemed to be my ATi 9600XT got rid of that and upgraded to a 6800LE and problems went away. You already have a nvidia card so that makes things interesting you could look for bios updates (fixed some of my graphics probs), What drivers are you running ? You could also try turning down some settings eg AA, quality etc and see if that helps | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 363391 | 2005-06-13 01:52:00 | Apparantely 6600GT's aren't stable for every but me, so that makes me feel better. I was reading on some other forums, that early 71.xx drivers were more stable, so I got those, going to try them out ;) | housefish17 (8342) | ||
| 363392 | 2005-06-13 02:35:00 | THE DRIVERS WORKED Thanks for the suggestion |
