Sleep freeze when playing games

i have a MAC OS X panther version 10.3.9 and during gameplay, i play world of warcraft, it goes to sleep while i play and thereby freezing the game and then i have to force quit it and start all over and it gets really annoying after a while and i tried cleaning where air get through and it kept going to sleep other players online get mad at me because i always get disonnected Also sometimes it even goes to sleep during regular use I have already email the game developers and they told me to get a temperature monitor and i noticed that it goes to sleep when it reaches a maximum of at least 85 degrees
Does anyone know what i should do?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"i played today and i tried putting a fan behind my computer and after thirty minutes it went to sleep while i was gaming online"
I'm sorry to hear that - it doesn't sound good at all that you tried to cool it, but it still overheats. You should click on the "Support" tab at the top of this page, scroll down until on the right side you see "About Your Support Coverage," enter your iMac's serial number in the box, and click the "Go" button to find out how long your first generation iMac G5 is still under warranty.
If still under warranty, call Apple to start a service ticket on it immediately, and make a note of the ticket number they give you. If not still under warranty, and you do not have an AppleCare Protection Plan, you should have it checked out by an Apple certified repair technician to see if it will be covered under the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program" that I mentioned previously in an above post.
I would be certain of that possibility of free service under the special program, prior to beginning to work on it myself. If you are denied any free service, then it wouldn't matter any more and you can fiddle with it to your heart's content. Remember that with a valuable lcd display, your iMac will still have value, so be careful not to treat it as if it's worthless.
The first gen iMac G5 is user serviceable without impacting the warranty at all, as long as your work is confined to the areas accessed in the Do-It-Yourself Instructions. As an example, since those instructions do not include how to remove the lcd display, your warranty could be voided if you were to remove it. Anything that is listed as user serviceable in those instructions should be relatively easy for most owners to do for themselves, but most people can realize how far there own ability extends by reading those instructions. Good luck.

Brand New MacBook Pro Freezes When Playing Games

My sister recently received a brand new MacBook Pro courtesy of the University of Arizona and already she is having problems. When my sister plays a Java based game utilizing the Open Gl graphics plugin her computer will sometimes freeze after the graphics become distorted. during the freeze only the mouse will move and everything else is unresponsive, the only solution is to shut of the computer using the power button. All the updates have been installed and this doesn't happen any other time then when playing that game. This neither happens on her PC nor does it mine playing the same game. I'm not sure what the problem is and I would appreciate any help.

Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

Unavoidable system freezes when playing games

Hi all,
I recently switched from Windows to Arch Linux for good and it's been an enjoyable experience so far. My only problem is system freezes that sometimes occur when putting load on the system.
Mostly I'm having the problem that games I'm playing will inevitably freeze at some point, might be 5 minutes after launching them, might be 2h. It isn't exclusive to games though, once or twice Chrome crashed when having a couple of tabs open and opening another YouTube tab or something like that.
Here's how it happens:
- My frame rate (in games) drops over a couple of seconds until I only see a slide show, then it's only a matter of seconds until the system (X?) freezes completely.
- simultaneously the sound begins to stutter and stops as well
- if I see it coming and manage to Alt+F4 out of the game it goes back to running normally, otherwise it freezes completely and my only option is to reboot or Alt+SysRq+R, Alt+SysRq+E which brings me back to my login manager.
About my system:
- latest Arch, upgraded a couple of times which didn't change anything
- Intel i5 CPU, Nvidia GPU with proprietary drivers
- Openbox as WM, no DE, but I had the same problem with GNOME and KDE before as well
Games I played on this system (and all crashed):
- CS:GO, Prison Architect, WoW on Wine
If someone could give me any hints how I could go about diagnosing/removing this problem I would be very grateful!
P.S. I didn't have any problems like this at all on Windows (7)

Thanks for the hint, didn't know the journal yet. Just had another crash. The journal unfortunately doesn't seem to show anything fruitful concerning the crash. (which occured between the first two entries)

When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

IMac Freezes While Playing Games

When playing games (BioShock Infinite, Starcraft, Civ 5) my iMac will suddenly completely freeze: no mouse movement, no keyboard responses, nothing. Occassionally the audio will stutter and repeat over and over again for a second or two before stopping. The only way to do anything is to turn off the computer and turn it back on.
It seems to happen at random times, but only when playing these games, which makes me think it may have to do with the video card.
If anyone has any ideas, I would love some help!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Powermac crashes when playing games

Hi. I've got a problem with my Powermac G4 (Dual 450MHz).
Everytime I play a game (Quake 3 or Redline for example) the mac crashes sooner or later and I need to reboot. I've checked RAM, fixed HD permissions, fixed the HDs and cleared all cache. The mac has a stock ATI Rage128 Pro and 640 MB RAM. My mac crashes only when playing games, never when in "normal use".

Hi
It may be worth just checking the ventilation holes in the case aren't clogged with dust etc and the case fan is still spinning okay. If games are the only time you 'stress' the processors (e.g. you don't also use it for DVD encoding etc), perhaps it's a heat issue. You could try temporarily using it with the case open to see whether it makes any difference, which would also allow you to check the fan(s). It seems unlikely but it may be worth a shot.

Humming noise when playing games

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve a buzzing noise I'm getting when playing games.
I have a x-fi fatalty, gtx 480 in SLI and a x58a-ud3r motherboard and for the most part the x-fi works fine, however when I play 3d games I get a very irritating buzzing sound coming from the speakers while playing.
Things I've tried...
Switching off SLI / only having one graphics card installed - no difference
Wrapping the x-fi in electrical tape to stop interference - no difference
Switching the pcie slot - no difference
Latest BIOS - no difference
Trying x-fi different drivers - no difference
Using on board audio - no buzzing at all
Switching off 3d audio and crystallizer- reduces buzzing significantly but?still?there!
I'm out of ideas now... anyone else had this problem?
T_L_T

Well, I got Windows 7, I cleaned the inside which was quite dusty. I launched Left 4 Dead, had a minute of calm, then the sound of my fan started to increase slowly to the point when it sounds a bit like when you turn a Mac Pro on. It seems slightly better though. Probably by doing a full cleaning of the inside I could make it a bit less noisy.

Choosing gpu when playing games

Hi,
I own a hp g6-2305sl running win 8.1, it's not a bad laptop, the only thing I can't control is the gpu when playing games.
I have AMD catalyst 14.9 and HD Intel driver 153330, but when I go to device manager there is only AMD HD 7600M series and not AMD HD 7670M. And also even if I select maximize performance and set the high performance gpu for games, game is slow has hell, like using the Intel gpu.
Please post a solution

Sound lag when playing games

Hi,
My Z1 compact has sound issues when playing games.
There is a noticable sound lag of about a second (not much but is quite annoying), not only on newer games but also on the older ones, Angry Birds for example. My recorded videos or YouTube don't appear to have the same issue.
The problem seemed to occur after I had installed Worms 2: Armageddon when the phone got extremely hot and crashed. It was after the phone had reset and cooled down that I noticed the sound lag issue and Worms 2 was running at a very slow frame rate.
I then installed Worms 2 on my ASUS TF201 and it runs perfectly with no sound or heating issues.
I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue so i'm wondering if my phone is faulty.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

Computer lags when playing games.

Hi folks.
I have a problem with my computer, several in fact.
1. Computer lags when playing games(Battlefield/Desert Combat) even on lowest video settings, especially when there is a lot of action.
2. When I open "My Computer" it searches for 3-5 minutes before files appear, but when opening "my documents" for example, it opens it without any delay.
3. Startup is fast but when logging on, computer hangs for a couple of minutes, before completing log on.
Is there anyone who can help me out???
plz help

Hi NovJoe, thanks for the reply. Nice rig by the way.
Ive disabled all programs except essential windows programs in Task Manager, it didnt help.
Ive changed to new drivers, uninstalled them, changed to older drivers, tried 7 different drivers.
VGA card is running cold, CPU is on 40 cel. under full load, RAM is cool as well. PSU isnt running hot either.
Even checked the chipset, and thats cool also. I switched cabinets and that helped a bit(different PSU).
Now I only have problems with the lagging when playing.
So now Ive ordered a new PSU and mobo (MSI 865PE NEO2-V) I have a feeling its the VGA slot thats not giving me enough power to the VGA card.
And the new PSU is just so cool I had to have it. When Ive complete the build Ill post pics on the forum.
Anyways, Ill let you guys know if this will solve my problem.

When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

Welcome to the forum.
Exactly what program is throwing that request message?
Does that message list any details, such as WHAT will be written/saved to your computer?
As ATR mentions, I am not sure how PrE figures into the mix. I would anticipate that your message is coming from FaceBook, or from the OS, or from your anti-virus/anti-malware program.
Regardless, be VERY wary of any program, or Web site, that wants to write to your computer, unless you have delibertly invoked something that you DO want to do so.
Good luck,

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on Fifa or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on FIFA or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem then some info as to what happens would be useful if you want help.
