All games are not working. Please help.

Hello,

I have had this issue for a long time now, sort of put it off as i exhausted all avenues at rthe time.

However now i need to get fixed.

The issue is very simple, i have attached my DXDIAG, so you can see my rig is more than capable of playing games.

None work, and i mean none. I am playing for a random amount of time, then the game stalls, the screen goes black for 3-5 seconds then comes back to life and i can play.

Or,

The screen goes black for 3-5 seconds then recovers, the very next second it repeats, and repeats, then teh screen will go black for about 20 seconds, and then the game recovers ready to play. somtimes the game is fine for a period, however somtimes it will repeat the process and then the game crashes.

I have had this problem, sinse i changed from XP - Vista.

The last time i posted some guy with a million posts told me to change my PSU, i did, and problem remains. Please help.

could it be my moniter? and somone mentioned smthing about codex's?

I suspect your temperatures if your voltages are okay.

Did you measure your voltages with an actual multimeter while the game is running?

Are you using temperature monitoring software like SpeedFan to measure the motherboard, CPU and GPU temperatures while the game is running?

Beina, please read the forum rules and pay particular attention to the first sentence in rule 2.

If you don't like what someone says for some reason, ignore it and move on. Your response was unacceptable. Another post like that will result in a ban.

If that's the way you feel, I'm closing the thread. Sorry if we did not meet your expectations.
