Yep, got bad company 2 , no issues watsover, MOH single player is fine - only in multiplayer that the contrast is whack...

Whats LSD by the way?

Hi all Ive recently purchased MOH and for some reason in multiplayer the black colours seem to be dark blue... I've tried adjusting the contrast and brightness in the settings but doesnt make the blue (be it light blue or dark blue - depending on the contrast setting) go away. Ive google'ed this pro...

I set the aspect ratio to 16:9 at 1024 x 768 and it still only displays in the middle of the screen with the black margins on the side, however it works fine with windows XP

shot for replies, games like gta4 run smoother on 1024 x 768 (considering i have the textures set to high) so I prefer the smoothness. I'll install win 7 on my other hard drive and see if i can try sort it out. oh ya is my pc gonna run games better on win 7 64 bit (with 4 gig ddr 800) compared to xp...

hey all My monitor is a 18.5" wide Benq G922HDAL which supports a max res of 1366x768. Now recently i decided to upgrade from win xp 32 bit to win 7 ultimate 64 bit (coz i just upgraded from 2gb ddr800 to 4gb ddr800) My Desktop runs at a res of 1366 x 768. Most of my games i run on 1024 x 768 t...

Problem sorted - turned out to be the motherboard

thanks for replies guys. ok so this afternoon it restarted in windows for the very first time. I had been running prime 95 for just over an hour and i was listening to music and on facebook when it restarted. cpu temp was around 67C (doesnt go higher than 69C btw). I have replaced the PSU with exact...

bump, still have this issue, just got a replacement card yesterday (exactly the same one Palit GTS 250 1gb) and it still restarts in games so i rate it is not the card. the only items I havent replaced are the cpu and motherboard, atm the cpu temp is 68C as i run prime 95 for about 40 min. i dont th...

i meant gta 4

hey guys, sorry i havent replied in a while - i got capped. Ok so i have replaced PSU - still did the same thing. I replaced the RAM - still did the same thing. Formatted using different OS's and a different HDD - still restarted in games. so ive taken the gts250 out and put a 9600gso in. with the 9...

been running prime95 for +- 2hours now and cpu temp was at 64C. isnt that a bit high???

running prime95 now and cpu temp is between 54C and 59C. is this normal?

MK4, ive got no AV on the OS at the moment so looks like a hardware problem. Even with that automatic restart option disabled, it still restarts in games - (I was just trying to play MW2 now sigh and it did it again but was fine for like 2 hours this afternoon)

I have disabled the automatic restart thing now. It hasnt restarted today - I have been playing quite a bit of games today. But yesterday it was restarting alot. I will try the mem test

no game pads, just keyboard and mouse. I will swop the ram with my friends 2gb chip and see if it still does the same thing. Ive been playing games now for about an hour and everything is running fine but later on it will probably start resetting again. thanks guys

no, not even fraps, no anti virus, ive formatted like 3 times using win 7 and xp pro. Same problem. TBH I think its the card or psu - but ya im not an expert

Sigh, Ive got a the same problem, except my sound doesnt stutter, it just resets itself

Sigh, Ive got a the same problem, except my sound doesnt stutter, it just resets itself

thanks for the quick replies, during nfs shift the cpu runs at 41C and the GPU at 58C.

Hello everyone My bro's new pc keeps restarting ONLY in games - sometimes you can play for 2 hours and other times only for 2 or 3 min before it restarts. I have downloaded the latest video drivers, formatted and even used a different hard drive (it only has one hard drive). Here are the specs Penti...
