Player1984 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hey well for the last couple of days I've been having some troubles with my computer, it seems when whenever i goto play Team Fortress 2 or Counter Striker Source, my system simple freezes to death and I have to force Restart. This issue is new to me and i have no clue whats going on, cause if I don't play any games the cpu doesn't freezes or anything its just with the games, so i checked if my vid card (8800 gtx oc2---BFG) was getting the proper power or something just by checking if the 6 pin power connectors where right in place (nothing fancy) and they indeed were all goto go, so now i thought it was a driver issue or something so i went and gte the latest nvidia drivers. and again the same issue, my cpu is a quad core q 6600 (not oced running at 35 C) and i got 4gb Ram Corsair Dominator 8500 on a Asus Striker Extreme Mobo, so i don't know what is causing the problem and if anyone could help it will be greatly appreciated... P.S sometimes i get the game to run for around 5-20 mins With Fps getting as high as 140 so i guess its not the vid card or well i really dont know thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player1984 Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Ok im just realizing my compuetrr is turned on but the fan of the 8800 gtx is not running at all, maybe just maybe its because its getting hot on the game and just freezes so it doesnt burn? any help getting the fan to work again?

bigbuck08 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 If the fan on your video card isnt running it is most likely overheating. You can try cleaning it but if that doesnt work you will probably have to RMA the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player1984 Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Instead of RMA can i switch from the stock cooling in the 8800 GTX to a water block?? its this one.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118027 ?? Its for 8800 gtx and ultra cards, I have a water cooling system 3d Galaxy II From Gigabyte, and just one more thing, how do i check my VGAs temperature??

bigbuck08 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 A long as the fitting on there is the same as your hose it should work. Also, you can use Everest to check your video card temps and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
