Howzit,
I have a strange problem with my Windows system. I was playing GTA: SA, last night and it froze (sound went crazy, like repeating 2 seconds over and over of the same thing) and then it rebooted. So I thought, it must be getting too hot. So I took my case off. And ran the game again, same problem, it crashed. So to see if it was still a heat problem, I put my case back on and ran 3DMark 05. It ran perfectly no problems and finished the test with a score of 5734.
So then I did more testing. I ran Need For Speed: Most wanted. Ran that for one hour solid. No problems, PC ran it at max settings just fine.
Then I loaded GTA SA again and after being in the game for 10 minutes, it crashed, again.
This can't be a heat problem as I'm very sure 3DMark 05 and Need For Speed: Most Wanted, are a lot more graphic intensive and use a lot more CPU power then GTA SA does, right?
Can anyone shed some light on this for me please. I even reinstalled the game and no joy, same problem.
System specs are:
AMD 64 3400+
Shuttle SN85G4 V2
160GB Hitachi HDD
ATI X800 XT 256MB
1GB PC3200 Ram
Please help guys.
Many Thanks,
