I tested the 8800GTX, played Natural-Selection.
That game usually crashes within 10 mins.
I lasted for more than 30 mins.
My game didn't crash, it's probably my card..
I'll go test other games.
it should be the card already
did u use it too much till it overheat? as in poor case ventilation?
sometimes overheating graphic card will cause both the card to crash, and the southbridge on the motherboard to crash as well
Use what?
If you're talking about the GT card.
I don't think temperature is an issue, cause when I play The Sims 2.
My computer doesn't crash at all, only Natural-Selection and GTA series.
But with the GTX, I can play Natural-Selection fine.
Testing GTA San Andreas now.. already 18 mins still not crashed.
Update : My dad tested my 8800GT on his computer, it get black screen.
So it's confirmed that problem is the card. I'm going to send the card to repair.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Don't need to post here anymore as I found out the problem.
one last thing
sent it back to the distributor for repair, it is usually free if under warranty
Ya, sent it to repair.
Its free
game crashes also happen with ATI HD4850.
RoR (rigs of rods) multiplayer mode crashes within seconds of entering the game, if ur playing on a machine with the HD4850 in it.
4850 main reason for crashing might be the heat issues
there are ppl saying that the card can reach 80+ when load
u need to do the fanhack thingy
but its not due to the heat im sure. ROR singleplayer runs for as long as i want it to, its juz cus of multipayer. within seconds of getting into the server the thinig closes itself :S
