I am really at a loss. I can't play any of my games on my PC. This started a little more than a month ago. About 5 - 10 minutes into gameplay, it just crashes. The screen goes black and the sound makes a repetitive clicking noise, and when I try to turn it on it says: Going into power off mode.
I have windows 7 64 bit on an asus computer with a processor of intel core 2 quad and when i had windows vista, i could play my downloaded games with ease. However, every time I try to play it now, the screen either blacks out and restarts or the blue screen pops up.
I'm playing,Then my screen Goes blank, I Hear my Fan go Full speed, Then My computer reboots, But It's stuck at "Starting Windows". I decide that a system restore is my only option, So I go with that Right, So my Brand-Spanking New Copy Of Halo 2 Arrives. Boy am I excited, I suspect that after MS Shut down Original XBL, The PC Community will recive a much needed Boost. I don't activate my copy yet, I just want to play some campaign First. I load up the armory, And just as you get out of the tram-thing with johnson, I hear Lots of Sound Glitches, And the same thing as before. It does it a few more times. Then I played some DiRT 2 about 20 minute's ago, It it does the same thing.Now, I suspect It's only Games For Windows LIVE (GFWL) Games doing it, But then I remember that CoD4 did it. Now I'm afraid that if I play anymore games, And do this too much, That I will Seriously Screw My computer.
All my games keep randomly crashing while I am playing them. It doesn't ever do it at a specific point or anything. I also posted at crash report of one of the games,
When using my computer it will sometimes crash every now and then, it will however crash as soon as I start playing a game. For example when within World of Warcraft it will crash pretty much instantly, I have got a memory dump of which I have attached to this post. I have tried reinstalling the graphics drivers, using the latest drivers from the nVidia website. This started to happen after reinstalling Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
So I have been having troubles with my games recently I have no idea why it is happening but every time I try starting up my games such as Star Wars titles because they are on sale on steam so I picked them up, for Star Wars Battlefront 2 I get to the main menu pick new game and then it says play training I select it and it goes black and takes me to my desktop and there is no error message displayed, and for Star Wars Empire at War it gets passed the game logo's lucas arts ect.. and then it goes black and again no error message
Basically what happens sometimes in-game is I get either a crash where the screen goes black and then a message saying the graphics driver recovered successfully, or I get freezing up with fps drops every few seconds until I quit the application.
I haven't had this issue before I OC'd my AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU from 3.2 to 3.6 GHz. The temperatures of the card are perfectly fine (it's usually around 62-67 degrees) and I also ran some stress tests through furmark, which gave me results consistent with my card's rating, and I had no errors.
I was under the impression that overclocking the CPU didn't affect the graphics card. Also, I'm 100% certain the card is getting enough power because I specifically bought a new power supply a few months back to make sure I would never worry about power issues. The GPU drivers are up to date (I even tried using beta drivers) and I've checked the card physically and got the dust out.
edit: just got another error in Starcraft 2 - "your computer has run out of paged pool memory". I have 12 gbs of ram and with starcraft 2 open i have about 8.5-9 gbs being used.
Every time I am playing a game,on fb, ie keeps popping up with secure site [ ] yes [ ] no & no matter which box I click it shuts my game down. even if i [x] out it shuts me down.

I've had a nightmare with my computer over the last week with various random crashes whilst play Rift. Now I am struggling to even get past the starting video for Skyrim as the game is freezing and crashing (with the dreaded BSOD). When I see the screen it mentions the atikmpag.sys error.
- Windows 7 x64 - Original OS installed on my PC. - OEM version - PC came pre-built and is 4 months old - Intel Core i5 2500K Sandy Bridge Processor - Asus P8P67 PRO Motherboard - 4GB PC3-10666 DDR3 Memory - Radeon HD 6870 1024MB Video Card
for the last week or so I've been getting consistent BSOD's. I have reinstalled windows, updated all my drivers, even bought a new graphics card, and I am still having problems. I was having problems with memory, although these got sorted out when I tweaked the numbers. The slightly confusing thing is that almost every time I get a BSOD, it's a new error. 64 bit windows 7 home premium - Hardware is less then one year old, except hard drive. - OS installed a few days ago
This is a recently developed problem, as I've been playing Saints row the third and skyrim the game crashes after about 30 min. Not every time though. like 1 out of 3 times I play. The game will be working great (no lag or drop in frame rate) and it just up and closes to the desktop. No crash report or any other form of notification of what happened. I looked at the event viewer and I wasn't sure where to look in it but I looked in windows logs->applications and I found this error around the time of one of the crashes:Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.I'm new to this forum but I entered all of my pc info on my profile so I think you would be able to view it there.
My computer keeps crashing about 10 minutes in game with windows 7 64bit but when i reinstalled with 32bit it works. I am playing fairly new games like bf3 and cod4. is there some form of driver error that has been going on lately?
I apologize in advance if my post is missing any information; I attempted to follow the directions for properly posting but while I'm am computer functional, I'm not overly computer literate. [code] The system constantly crashes when playing video games and games consistently lag. We have completely re-installed the OS and replaced all parts in the PC at least twice. When the system crashes the speakers buzz loudly, although sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the computer itself.We switched from Nvidia because everything has checked out and it was hoped that the problem was the hardware not playing nice to no avail. I'm still getting the same error/crash.

So I've recently gotten a problem where my Windows Explorer will crash and then restart whenever I am playing games through Steam. And it's not every game either;just randoms. Sometimes it will happen the moment the game launches, other times it could be 15-20 minutes into playing. I'll get alt-tabbed automatically out of my game to that message and have to wait for it to restart to go back in, very frustrating. This only just started happening less than a month ago and I've been an avid Steam user since I built my first custom PC in February 2011.If I had to pinpoint the time Explorer.exe first started crashing, I'd say shortly after downloading a keygen for a non-Steam game... that i PURCHASED (Yeah, sounds stupid but it's a long story). The keygen seemed suspicious the moment I tried launching it, and nothing happened... so naturally I have followed up with beefing up my anti-virus/spyware defenses and running vigorous full-system scans. Speaking of, Microsoft Security Essentials (which my friend swears by..) just completed an entire scan, which took about 3 hrs to complete, and turned up not a single bad file .
After several virus scans to no serious threats, running CCleaner thoroughly, defragmenting my hard drive, performing that built-in system checker command in Cmd Prompt (can't remember the actual name), I ended up formatting and re-installing Windows 7 altogether. I have all of my games, music, photos, etc on my 1.5TB hard drive, and Windows on my SSD, so It wasn't a big deal. All seemed fine and well until I went to go play some games and then there it was again... then i started noticing every once in a while it would happen even on my desktop just simply browsing the web or something. My video drivers are up to date, I have made sure i'm up-to-date with Windows Update.
Windows 7 won't allow me to retrieve my saved games from my " documents/my games/oblivion" Says it cant find the codec. What codec is that? Did search on codec and it appears I don't have any.
The autostart function is not working properly. When introduced a CD Rom into the drive, it has all the autostart functions for movies, pics, documents, but instead of starting the games directly, It allways ask me to open the file, movies or pics, but the game never starts automatically as It used to do in the past Windows versions, and in Windows 7 BEFORE SP1. It's imposible to play games that require the insertion of the disc into the CD Rom Drive, for the same reason.Im running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and have a LG Super Multi RwDVD +R DL Light scribe multirecorder.
ok so i have a problem thats been driving me insane. my toshiba F50 was working totally fine until suddenly during games my GPU started overheating quickly during games (Was not doing this before) i noticed that my fan didnt seem to be spinning as fast as before. i cleaned it still no avail, tried riva tuner and ntune and all of that jazz and all of them have the fan control options greyed out? (cannot use them)i noticed that when i start the laptop the POST test on the fans guns the fan to 100% speed so i know its capable of doing it. it seems like the fan doesnt know to speed up when it gets hot and it keeps shutting my system down and i reallllly dont feel like damaging my GPU. i tried rolling back my drivers and running the latest drivers.
When I click on games in my start menu only the games on my c drive show. I ran out of space on the c drive practically the day I bought it (SSD), so now I install games to my D drive. I tried dragging the .exe start file over to the games window and it did copy the icon over but I get a message that the game has stopped working when I click it, followed by automatic error reporting to Microsoft after.
Recently my computer has been crashing an awful lot. I am just doing a task and, usually if it does, it will cut to black. The computer doesn't make any noise and I have to restart it. Sometimes it will freeze on the screen, once it actually cut to a completely white screen.I always thought this was because I was using Google Chrome, it always seemed to be whilst that was loaded. However now its happening without that. Also, Firefox has become completely disabled, I click on the icon and nothing happens.So, I have no idea why this is happening! It's very worrying as I am starting a new year at college next week. I have run several anti-virus checks, SpyBot checks, that sort of thing.
I dual booted windows 7 on me nc10, worked fine, occasional hiccup but nothing i cant really moan about saying its not been released yet. So i thought id put it on my desktop, which, is much more powerful, just to see what certain areas (where on a netbook it goes slow) are like, but what continuously happens, is it freezes, no warning, for those of you familiar with the band Muse, i played stockholm syndrome, to see how long it would last, and it lasts about 3 minutes,
i dont know what mom is doing to my computer, but she pressed a button so it turned on today(its on sleep) She claims it wouldn't shut down so now I just turned on my monitor moved the mouse and it automatically says windows needs to shut down because of in 5 minutes it restarted twice.
