Stability Problems with Games, Help!!!

Welp this is the second 3200-64 Newcastle Processor and MSI K8n neo plat MoBo that i have gone thru and still the same problem. I can't play games without my comp lockin up. It goes anywere from just freezeing to completely shutting off. I also get that call of duty problem were it freezes for 2 seconds. I have gone thru 3 diffrent types of memory(Elixer, Kingston, Cosrair), 2 diffrent HD's, WinXP home to Pro, ATI 9800pro to a Nvidia 4200 with no luck. I am useing the bios out of the box and have not bothered updateing because from what i read it hasn't solved the problem. I have spent about $200 on techs trying to fix the dam thing and it still does it. Can anyone please help me. I am about to cave in and buy a diffirent companys MoBo.
AMD 64 3200 Newcastle
MSI K8N Neo Plat.
1gig Elixer Memory
450watt PSU
9800pro 256
If you guys need any more info tell me so i can post.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the cause of your prob, but in itself, the 12v amp on that PSU sucketh...
Does your vid card have a separate molex in? Use a separate power connector for it if i has a power in molex (dont connect anyting else to that molex cable set).
Set the vid cooler on "high" setting (isnt there a switch on the back?)
Try using only one stick of RAM in 1. Move it around.
Check the grounding of the psu. Maybe a wire from the case screws on the psu to a mobo fastening screw would help.
Make sure that the AGP card is installed correctly (all the way in). Some cases are somewhat askew, and if you tighten the screws on the cards it lifts the cards out of the pci/agp ports.
Im voting this as a PSU / power related prob. I had similar probs wiht my old Athlon 1200 when i used the 250W psu that came with the case.
On the bright side, youre gonna have a mighty spiffy shiny new computer by the time your done...

    Hi, bamboo64. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Windows 8.1 Problem with games from windows store.

    I've got a problem with games from windows store. The installation is going well without any problems, however when I try to open it it's loading and then it turns off. The same problem happens when I try to use Games for Windows. I've use a sfc scan and
    it shows some errors but unfortunately it cannot fix them. Should I share the CBS log or find the solution somewhere else? I hope you help, best regards.

    Hi,
    According to my experience, the problem like store game app open failed probably caused by hardware driver. such as Audio and Graphic driver. So, first of all, please try to reinstall these two driver to fix this problem for test.
    In addition, for SFC scan failed problem, it can be caused by many reasons, I would suggest you use another command to fix your system for test.
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    Also you can test SFC command in Windows 8.1 safe mode.
    Thirdly, if problem persists, please check Event Viewer, generally speaking, it would record the app open failed events.

  • Problem with Adobe Help Online

    Dear sir,
    Hi, My name is Palm.
    I have a problem with Adobe Help. Every time I use the function "Leyer Style" >> "Gradient Overlay".
    Adobe Help Online is often displayed without my pressing or click anything.
    It was a problem with my work.
    I have to restart the program. To work again.
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank you.
    It's excellent for this solution.
    I have solved the problem as suggested.
    Now the problem is still not found but I will monitor this issue further.

  • Problems with "Mac Help"

    My help files, especially "Mac Help", no longer work properly since upgrading to Tiger. If I open "Mac Help", for example, the help window will pop up, but the links will not work (nothing happens when I click on them) and the search feature in help will not work either (the little gray "clock" just spins next to the help bar and nothing else ever happens). Any suggestions on this one? As I'm a relatively recent Mac convert, the help feature was something that I came to rely on. Thanks!

    Hi CP,
    This is a common problem with Mac Help. When it happens, try first (quit Help) deleting this folder:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui
    If Help still doesn't work, try then deleting those files:
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
    (and this one if you find it):
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
    See also this KB article for more info
    - Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Mac Help Viewer unexpectedly quits
    and this excellent X Lab FAQ
    - Troubleshooting Help Viewer
    It seems (not sure about that), that Help caches get easily corrupted when interrupting searches instead of patiently waiting for its internet accessings etc?
    Good luck!

  • Stability problems with PC companion

    Hi!
    Just out of curiosity, am I the only one having stability problems with my PC after installing PC companion?
    I'm getting three or four freezes per day after installing the suite and none after deinstalling.
    ("freezing": neither CtrlAltDel nor normal pushing of the switch off button work. I have to press the on/off button on the PC for 5s for a hardware switchoff)
    We' seem to have traced it to a problem where a driver has the same name as one already installed on windows (apparently some fingerprint stuff). Unfortunately my colleague can't remember precise details anymore as it was some time ago.
    Does anyone experience similar problems?
    Lots of Greetings!

    so your pc freezes after you open pc companion or without opening it..??

  • Problem with games in windows

    I'm having a problem running games, and I can't figure out why it's happening or how to fix it. I'm using a base model Macbook, about three weeks old, running Windows XP Home...first with SP2, now with SP3. I had gb of RAM, but I dropped it back down to the stock RAM to see if maybe a bad stick was causing the problem. No performance drop in the games, so I'm leaving it that way for the time being. This is my second Macbook, and my first was replaced due to a pletora of other problems. It didn't do this, though.
    Randomly in games, I get a blue screen and the computer shuts down. This is the error I get:
    Error code 000000ea = "THREADSTUCK_IN_DEVICEDRIVER" - A device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware itself, or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. In many cases this is the result of a bad video card or a bad display driver.
    Mainly the game I'm running is Phantasy Star Universe, which worked perfectly fine on my old Macbook, which was also a base model, but a couple generations older. It had the Intel GMA 950 chipset, where the newer one has the Intel GMA 965 chipset. The game actually runs slightly worse than it did on the old machine, but the game by no means pushes the Macbook to it's limits. Anyway, from anywhere between 10 to 40 minutes into the game, it'll blue screen. It's not just this game, though, it's done it elsewhere, but not nearly as frequently as when playing the game. I also have to point out that I don't run anything else when playing the game. I intentionally shut down everything that's not important when I run games, to avoid any conflicts.
    I've tried a number of different versions of Intel's drivers, and played with the settings, gradually downgrading it's performance. I've tried re-intalling the game, changing settings in the game, reinstalling windows, updating windows, changing my ram. I'm grasping at straws here, and I don't know what's to blame. I want to point my finger at bad drivers, or bad hardware. I' blame the game if it behaved the same way on my old Macbook. I initially thought it was the game, because it kept happening in the same areas, but I proved it to be coincidence. The hardware isn't THAT different. From what I've been told, the graphics chipset in the newer Macbook should perform a lot better than it does, but Intel's drivers are kind of...blah. But are they blah enough to cause chronic issues? If it IS a driver issue, at this point the only solution is to wait for Intel to update them and hope the problem is fixed. I'm extremely paranoid about it being a hardware issue, due to my experience with my old Macbook.

    Just a thought, but what if its spyware or a trojan horse?/Virus?
    e-mail me back k?
    in the game of world of warcraft, the game's configurations make it easier to catch a virus from other people. Games like that can sometimes bypas the firewall.
    Let me know when you find out k?
    I hope i've helped.

  • Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

    I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster.  But my NEW PE9 just run very slow.  Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete.  Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process.  When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance.  It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip.  Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation.  PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0.  I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
    Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

  • Weird image distortion // Problem with game

    Hello,
    Im making a tiled based multiplayer game and everything is going fine however Im having a problem with image displaying.
    Here is how it looks like when I play it on my server computer as well as on my laptop:
    [http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk112/beloxx/?action=view&current=ss.jpg]
    And here is how it looks when I play it on my brother's computer:
    [http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk112/beloxx/?action=view&current=ss2.jpg]
    The image on the latter computer is distorted.
    I used to test my game on that computer before and everything was fine. I tried rebooting it but its still not displaying right. Right after I run the game the image is fine for a split second and then it becomes distorted...
    Did anyone have a similar problem?
    Here is the link to my home computer server:
    [http://belox.gotdns.com]
    or just go to:
    [http://74.56.212.14]
    The server may be slow or down so dont get frustrated if it take slong to load.
    Could you tell me whats your images look like when u run the game?
    Id really appreciate it if you helped me.

    Ok, the server is up and running right now so could you guys go to [ http://belox.gotdns.com| http://belox.gotdns.com] and see if your background image is distorted like in the screen shot above?

  • I game online and have problems with games working after updating firefox. I use an older version but am concerned about security. Two questions: can I be sure that Firefox 4 will work on my system (vista) and where do I save the file at?

    I have had a problem with the compatibility of Firefox running with the games I play online. I don't want to attempt an upgrade again, only to have to turn around and degrade so my activities can work. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to save the Firefox file in my system, since for some reason it doesn't take me right to where it should save.

  • Problem with Adobe Help in Creative Cloud

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.9 but this problem has been here before that.
    My Adobe Help application says "No Adobe Products are currently installed." which is completely wrong. If I look at the "Local Content tab there is nothing displayed. I did have the "Display Local Help Content only" set to "yes, because it annoyed me to be taken to SLOW website whenever I clicked help. But now I have no other options and it seems to have mucked uo the help system altogether. I have changed it to "No" now so that it will display online content, but the real problem is that it does not recognise ANY of the installed CC applications.
    Any clues as to what the problem is or how I can make Adobe Help recognise my installed applications? Adobe Help has SUCKED BADLY for local help content for a long now.

    i too have issues with the help the tech sopport for Adobe. When i last tried to call i was told it would be a hour wait. Using the online chat was useless as well. Then to top things off my code for the ID theft monitering servies is not valid. Now i have to call and deal with that, there is another half a day wasted. I think its time to hack the software, YES adobe i have the .DLL files needed to have creative cloud or windows 7. Unless i get better help im going to cancle my subscription and just intall the hacks so the software still works. who needs support they are useless anyway.
