Games keep quitting randomly
Hey guys, I'm having a few probs as of late. Games like Sim City 4 and Need For Speed Underground keep ditching on my for no reason - damn annoying!!! Now I know you'll say its becuase the rig is overclocked, but it does it with stock speeds across the board :S
Specs as follows: AthlonXP 2500+, SLK 700+ w/ Panoflo 39CFM 80mm Fan, Radeon 9700Pro, 512MB TwinMos 3200 w/winbond, Abit NF7-s v2 bios 22, Antec TrueBlue 480W. Speeds are CPU: 2060 (217Mhz FSB), RAM = 433 (217Mhz FSB), Radeon = Stock core and 317Mhz RAM - nothing to big on radeon!! Its really getting annoying and i'd really apreciate some advice on this. Many thanks ColdFire  |

 The next thing in my mind is to check for proper cooling. Even without overclocking, there may be a heat problem. |

If the games just quit to desktop, try relaxing the RAM timings in the motherboard BIOS.

Ty 7-3-3-2 first. I had the same problem at 7-2-3-2 and 7-3-2-2 would eventually lead to hd corruption, different ram though.

Glad to have helped
I only experienced hd corruption at the 7-3-2-2 settings .. 7-3-3-2 should be perfectly safe. |
