PC CRASHING

everytime i have any higher end game like silk road or ko installed my pc freaks out and shuts down with a blue screen...even if the game isnt playing, WHY?

[_DaRkNiGhT_]

ye this happened to me, something burnt/broken cuz of heat and causing the computer to shut down automactically, u need to bring it to a repair store to get it sorted.

Yep, sadly this is an internal error, and without the ability to know how to fit a POWER SUPPLY UNIT and a new FAN. your pretty buggered.

the most i can read from the screen is "physical memory"

ok its a:
dell d600 laptop
1gb ram
80gb HD
ati 256mb integrated g card
pentium m 2.4 ghz

now heres my "Q" (which needs an "A") how come whenever the game is installed, not even played yet, it crashes?

Fault with the Processor...
Take it back to the shop..or in Dells case. get Customer Services to your house.

how do you know its the processor?

Right on brother.

When the processor overheats, it shuts down, which causes freezing. You need a new fan/heatsink. If you keep letting it freeze, your processor may be damaged, and you'll have to get a new one of those.

It could also be your power supply not supplying enough power. What's your wattage there?

i dunno lolz, but it only does it when the game is installed, not any other time...so thats why i think its not over heating

mine does that sometimes, but i found why

i use a laptop, and i just throw it on my bed and i lay down when i play games.. the fan is on the bottem, and the laptop has like 3mm of rubber on the bottem so air can get to the fan, it needs a flat surface.. but i just had it on the bed so it sunk in and overheated easily. so now i have some dry erase board under it or something, and it never overheats now

my suggestion if yours is overheating and your lazy or something, open the side up and throw a fan next to it, easy fix :\

although it never happened to me when i had KO, even at maxed out graphics settings lol.. only happened to me on aoe3 and happened sometimes on c@c zero hour ;o

no they're right it's a fan error, it's just overheating, and your main problem was you trusted dell, and secondly it's, like everyone has said before, overheating.

Bring it to their store and they'll fix it, probably for a fee.. just because it's dell..

not much of a big deal really.

ive already taken it to a store, and they didnt say anything about overheating

no ****, they want you to keep going back and buying useless ****..

just shove a ****ing fan next to it and see if it continues to crash.

CzeCh is right...

Dell is a scamming company in my opinion.. Look, do you know anything about installation?

if you do try getting a specialized fan for your laptop, they're inexpensive and very easy to install.

It's either the core, or it's overheating and my guess is overheating, so just replace the fan see if it works.

it still did it when i put my fan on high and put it right next to it..i dunno please help!

sorry this is late, but I did a check up and it seems it is near fried, hopefully you got it to work, but I don't think a single fan can fix this one.

Not even a mega-fan.. You need to put in roughly $25-100 for a decent fan. Good luck.
