Well, I think I fixed it. I updated the drivers, and re-locked my CPU to 3 cores, as I don't need all 4 atm. Seems to be stable, played Bioshock II for a couple hours, 0 crashes.
Nope, a legitimate DVI ccable I find mine never goes over 45 C, although I have heard horror stories about cards like ours pushing 100 C (and not shutting down?) Regardless, Any ideas as to cooling solutions? --- It may be my PSU, I'm using a fairly no-name brand, I get my new one tommorow which is nearly twice the power... we shall see...
Before I start, I would also like to say that these problems also occur on L4D (the first one) --- After approx. 4-5 mins of playing Bioshock II, or L4D 1, I get these horrible screeching sounds, then the game crashes, and everything on screen goes funny colours (no, I was not high). Whenever a sound (attepts) to play, these screeching sounds occur for the duration of the sound. I don't have these problems with any other game, including S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP, Fallout 3, L4D2 etc... Any ideas, I've heard it was interference, but I've eliminated that factor (as best I could). I have tried different ports/sound cards, but nothing works --- AMD Phenom II x4 @ 3.2ghz 4gb DDR3 1333 ATi Radeon HD 5770 Onboard audio and dedicated Creative sound card.
I thought our athletes did very good too, considering the commercials say they all eat at McDonalds (youtube it if you don't know what I'm talking about)
I'm jacking your topic Connor this jogged my memory, my 360 is having even more issues (yes, apparently it is possible). At any given time, there are lines of static running diagonally across the screen. I have tried what teh interwebs said (interference from the power brick), with no (changed) result. Its going through VGA at 1080p.
