I've recently upgrade my computer to an eVGA 7800GT, Athlon 64 3800+ X2 on an ASUS A8N-SLI, powered by a Seasonic 600W power supply.
I've been playing Far Cry lately and noticed that sometimes I can be playing, I'll die, and then I want to go back to windows. However leaving the game freezes the computer and I have to power it off and then back on. The odd part is that I don't have to hold the power button down, I just press it once and its shuts off!
I was playing earlier and going up a ladder when it froze up on me with the sound looping quickly. I lowered my CPU OC and it still did it. I gave the CPU more voltage and it still did it! I lowered my video overclock and it still did it, different drivers and it still did it. I just lowered my memory frequency from 333MHz to 266 hoping it will change, but I'm doubting it will.
I was overclocking with it yesterday and it used to lock up like that after the Quake 4 campaign opening cutscene, but lowering my CPU overclock stopped that.
Does anyone have any clue why it keeps doing this to me?
