Quinn Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 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 @ 3.2ghz4gb DDR3 1333ATi Radeon HD 5770Onboard audio and dedicated Creative sound card.

iBotPeaches Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 ahhhhhhh Same problem I have the 5770 and intense gaming throws my GPU up to at least 53 C, and thats bordering on danger. Soon enough my game just starts acting strange and then my game crashes to prevent further damage to the GPU. If I had anything to guess it would be poor cooling.

Nope, a legitimate DVI ccableahhhhhhh Same problem I have the 5770 and intense gaming throws my GPU up to at least 53 C, and thats bordering on danger. Soon enough my game just starts acting strange and then my game crashes to prevent further damage to the GPU. If I had anything to guess it would be poor cooling.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...

Quinn Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 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.
