Harry does it only do it when you are gaming? If so you may need a graphics card upgrade, or your processor isn't handling the speed and info well enough to run the game. If you post the game you are playing and your pc specs someone may be able to advise you on the best course of action. Been there don that. My son used to be big on WOW and drove me nuts clocking the cards and demanding upgrades and quicker up and download speeds. Cost me a fortune (but I didn't care).

Ahh just seen your previous post young "H", did you ever get around to doing the work advised then?

What sort of games ?
What graphics card do you have ?

My NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 used to keep crashing on one game I used to play a lot. No one every took responsibility for it. Not NVidia nor the game creators. :-(

The above link gives a review of the graphics processor you are running "H" it is not a bad processor although it only runs at 2.7Ghz with a limited capability to hit 3.3Ghz in short bursts. The main drawback is that you cannot over clock it to get quicker, smoother playtime. Perhaps if you save up and perhaps upgrade the Motherboard to an Intel 100 series Chipset Motherboard and ask santa for a new hard drive, perhaps a hybrid 2Tb. Persevere young and learn as you go. Close all unnecessary tabs when gaming. I know you probably like to have skype running etc for chat with your mates while you are having fun but it slows things down. You will get there but I know how frustrating it can be.
