Hi all,
Been having some problems with my PC since it was first put together 6 months back, but recently it has become an almost recurring problem.
During games the system will often freeze up. This is accompanied with a series of 'static' lines dancing across the screen and the souns cutting out to a static whine. Usually, the screen goes black, then comes back on, although there is no longer any sounds. Sometimes it never recovers and has to be rebooted.
When it happens seems to be random. League of Legebds only had it happen when the game was really busy on screen. However Diablo 3 (Beta) did it from an options menu, and Super Monday Night Combat did it 4 seconds into game start. League has stopped doing it since I turned the graphics settings lower, butreally based on the spec below it shouldnt have any problem running at max settings.
My PC doesn't have a sound card - it is all done through the motherboard. I nearly always have last.fm (flash based music website) running in the background. My best guess is either there's a sound conflict, or, since the graphics card appears to reboot and League stopped doing it after fiddling with the graphics, there's a fault at the graphics card end.
The site I followed for building the PC did suggest adding a soundcard to prevent a conflict, maybe this is the end result of that?
I managed to get a quick video of the 'static' effect I mentioned when playing LoL. In this case, it never recovered.
Not the best quality from a phone but hopefully you can see the effect.
Please check this out and let me know if you have encountered something similar and know the fix. I really want to get playing these other games but the crashing is making it quite difficult!
