Graphics Crashes - scII, COD4..in fact any game thats not tf2

[frymaster]

AHAHA

We were all wrong!

This has sweet FALL to do with the graphics card or the PSU! rofl!
 according to this website (computer hope is pretty good IIRC) it's caused by HARD DRIVES, NOT GRAPHICS CARDS.

Seeing as windows sees RAID setups as non standard IDE explains why this error is happening on this PC !

? I don't see mention of a bluescreen in what spark said? I don't see a mention of RAID either 

spark, just to confirm, other than graphics spazzing out, are you having any issues?

well i mean i get the odd blue screen and general bits and bobs going wrong, but not as a direct result of the graphics crashes.

the problem is the problem described. freezing as shown in the pics in op, then it may recover, or the game may crash or the whole pc will lockup :/

Edit: don't worry about this too much as i've decided mid august i'll be buying/building a new pc and will keep this one to do shit i dont want on my nice new pc. so expect a "Sparks new pc" thread up soon, and dont spend too much energy on this one.

¬¬ pc's, who'd av em

You shouldn't be getting ANY blue screens.  Have run ran a memory test?
