hey peeps,
sorry i did not post replys to your help. A couple of days after posting my pc problem my computer completly crashed and would not even start up.
see this post:http://rct3x.co.uk/myBB2/newreply.php?tid=555
On top of that my internet was cut off.:evil:
After talking to many peeps I had found the problem I had.
My motherboard was burning out my memory and as a result the graphics card was overclocking its self to compensate for the memory it couldnt use. As you could see from the specs it wasnt a great computer.
I have been told that graphics cards take a certain amount of memory from your pc memory to make up the graphics card onboard memory that it losses when running certain applications.
My advice would be, DONT overclock your graphics card unless you are 100% certain you know what you are doing.
And have 4 times the amount of memory your onboard grachics card memory is.
E.G If you have a 128 mb graphics card then you should really have at least 512mb memory.
Hope this makes sense.
I now have a new pc and it runs like a trooper. Im just waiting for my internet connection to be fitted and installed and i hope to be up and running again by the new year.
If im not on before. everyone have a great christmas. And keep on tycooning
