XercesBlue Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 3.4 GHz HT pentium 4Radeon x800 w/ 256MB RAMSB Audigy 2 ZS1 GB DDR Ram I played the first few leavels through oblivion with no problem, now all of the sudden, when I go into the menu and move the mouse around some the game freezes. I used to get the ati VPU recover error but now it just freezes after I disabled it. EQ2 has been doing the same thing lately but not very frequently. Oblivion does it every 10-15 mins. Also occasionaly the screen will get filled up with these blocks, the game still runs, but you can't really see anything for all the blocks and I have to restart the computer. Can anyone help me with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XercesBlue Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 yes I do. I actually figured out what it was, this is a very interesting thing as I've never encountered this problem in all the years I've been messing with computers. I took the fan assembly apart on the video card and cleaned it out. There were clumps of dust stuck in it. I removed all the dust and now the games all run perfectly with no freezing, or restarts. Good thing I caught it now or my VPU might have burned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
