System freezes when playing Illarion/other 3d games
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2003 9:55 pm
Hello.
I recently upgraded my system from a Duron 750 CPU to a Athlon XP 1700+ Palomino core CPU. When i start a game (Illarion or any else) now, the computer freezes after 1-2 minutes. I tried to reinstall Windows XP, updated all the drivers including DirectX but without any effect. My SDRAM-memory seems to be ok, i tested it about 3h without any errors occuring.
Here are my system components:
