Looking for some help

[Karne]

So in 3D games it will shut down the game and send me to a black screen. In some instances it has not unlocked and I have had to hard boot computer. In others, it will just shut down game. In most scenarios it happens quickly upon entering the 3D world. Although, I have had instances where it will run for 30 minutes and all seems well. Also, if I reduce the settings down to low levels it does not seem to have as much problem. BUT what's the point of a high end video card if I can't run the system at higher settings....

I will try your suggestions and look at it more tonight.
