Comp crash problem
Cheers!
I'm having a problem when playing GW. If I play for more than 20 minutes, my computer suddenly crashes as if going into stand-by. The monitor shuts down, but the lights of the hard-drive remain on. Whatever I try to do (press keys, ctr-alt-del) nothing can bring it back to life. The sound dies as well, and I have to restart the system. I hope someone can help with this, because I can't play the game anymore... My system is an AMD Sempron 2600+, 512 RAM, with a NVidia GForce FX 5600, with 256 MB |

On Gateway/E-Machines, that scenario is usually indicative of a hard drive going bad. However, I suppose it could be a heat issue.

Could be a heat problem! Check to see if you've got a build up of dust inside your box. Concentrate on your CPU heatsink/fan, graphics cards heatsink/fan and your memory.
If you find shedloads of dust give it quick spring-clean and try running GW again. |

i see one of three possable problems 1 heat check for dust bunnies and set them free if there is some 2 bad/dieing Hard drive or 3 the most not likely but still possable bad/dieing PSU (Power Supply Unit) but most likely its just a heat problem
