Hi There
When i play games like Half Life 2 or Prey after about 20 mins my pc comes to a halt with what can only be described as it's stuck in a loop before total freezing and the only remedy is a total reboot. The pc needs to stay off for 5 minutes before it can go back on. Any attempt to switch it on before that time meets with nothing. Machine powers up but doesnt even make it to the bios screen. This only occurs when i am playing games like these and does not happen at any other time or when i am using any other applications.
Anyone any ideas ??
Pentium4 3.1 ghz
1 gig ram
2 x 300gb Hard drive
Soundblaster Sfx Card
ATI Radeon X550 gfx Card
Regards
Neil
