Hey everyone,
I recently built a computer, and have been running several games in order to test out my brand new 512mb 8800 GT. Unfortunately, in these games I have encountered an issue where the program would run fine for several minutes, and out of nowhere the game would freeze for a few seconds (music still playing, mouse unresponsive), and then recover. After recovering, several graphics in the game would become distorted (the mouse cursor would be a few square pixels, text would be unreadable). This initially took place in Guild Wars, where the developers informed me that they did not support my OS (Windows XP Professional 64-bit). However, I have also encountered the issue in Half-Life 2 and Oblivion, both of which do support my OS.
My video drivers are up to date, and for the life of me I can't figure this one out. Does anyone have any suggestions?
