    frozen screen...

    ok, this does not only apply to bf2, it apply to anything i do on this comp. what happen is basically while im ON the computer, doing something (especially playing bf2), the comp will make a "sneech" sound and my lcd monitor will, freeze (basically, everything on the screen b4 it froze stays on the screen), and comp died along with the screen. im not sure what is causing this problem, but my biggest guess is that of my video card - geforce 6600 GT, it is always at temp of 58 C. it used to be around 54 C, and thats when my comp dont freeze as often. when im gaming, it will go up to around 64 C. im not sure if its lack of power, lack of cooling, or lack of something else. can any1 give me a advice?

    heres my comp specs
    AMD 64 3000+
    6600 GT
    1 gig ram
    200gig 72000 rpm hdd
    nforce2 mobo
    good power supply

    i have total of 5 internal/external fans on my comp. one on video card, one on power supply, one on the back, one on the side, and one on the cpu.

    and yes, i do clean my comp out of dust often...

    thx for any1 tries to help me!

      Wow ... 72,000rpm Must spin like mad. How many watts is your power supply? If it's the agp version of the 6600GT, have you put in the power cable?

            Does the power supply have a brand? What are the amps on the 12V rail.

              ATX is the brand, the amps is the standard one in US. i just cleaned all the dust on my video card fan, now temp went down around 52C. sadly the game still freezes when i double click to join a server.

                You need to open it up. ATX is a type of motherboard that is supports. On the side the 12v rail is usually rated in amp (15,18,24 etc).
