Spikes And CTD
« on: January 29, 2007, 09:15:07 PM »
Not sure if this is an AH problem, or a problem on my end with my video card, but within the first 5 minutes of being in the game, I will experience freezes, spikes, and random colors, which ends up leaving me with a game freeze and CTD.  Any tips?

post a dxdiag, well the first third. Sounds like a video card problem. Either the wrong drivers, or maybe an over heating issue. Let the gurus look at the report, and they will be able to help better.

Cav, check your vid card temperatures and voltages!
This sounds like a heat or power issue.... worst case the card is dying.
21 is only half the truth.
