Games Freezing after 15 minutes.

For nearly a month i got freezing problem after 15 minutes playing in all games like COD 4, COD MW 2, Crysis 2, Lost Planet 2...I played COD 4, COD MW 2 for more than 2 years and never got this problem so it is not the game problem for sure...If i exit game and start the game again then there is no problem for 15 minutes...

My System Config:

Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

Memory : 4GB RAM

Hard Drive : 1TB

Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600)

Graphics Card : Nvidia 9600 GT 512MB

Power Supply : 500W

I tried reinstalling windows, Cleaned up all dust inside CPU, Tried latest and old Nvidia Drivers...

Here is Temperature Details:

Ask me if anymore details u want...Plz help me to fix my problem guys....

Looks like you may have an overheating problem. Were those temps taken at idle? Have you tried cleaning out your PC?C_Rule

I was going to say the same as above, your computer is most likely overheating, most common problem is dust! clean your case out if not then maybe you need more cpu thermal paste :)

good luck

Sorry just noticed that you said you cleaned the dust out, try see if your cpu has enough thermal paste then, maybe even get better cooling for your cpu.

This is my temp. while freezing in games

122°c... Wow. I wouldn't be surprised if something has been damaged.

What case are you using?

Are you playing games or baking pizza? lol

122 WAAAAAAY too hot man, that's the problem. The cause is another issue. If this is a new problem with an existing pc (not new) it is has nothing to do with the case. I would re-seat the heat sink/fan and apply a new layer of thermal grease as well. Try that first, cheapest and easiest option.

Gah!! I just noticed that was your GPU not CPU.

Same basic troubleshooting applies though man, if you have always had this case that is not the root cause.

If it is your gpu (which I think it is and has nothing to do with case or cpu) I think I would invest in a new one rather than buying a cooler for it. If it were a higher end card it would be worth it but not for a 9600. Just my opinion. If you aren't in the market for one look into a cooling kit for it.

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="gregalex87"] Both your CPU and GPU are too hot. Take the side panel off your PC, see if t [QUOTE="gregalex87"][QUOTE="vfibsux"]

My temp. not crossing 80* when i dont play any games like when i watch movies,browsing,hearing music etc. for many hours with no problem...When i start any game then within 2 minutes my GPU temp. goes above 100* but CPU temp. stay below 85 or 90... Anyway i planned to buy HD 6850 soon... So what u guys think ?

Your GPU is very very hot, 122 wow.

Either dust or your GPU is about to die.

Hope you get it working bud

My stomach twisted seeing 122c.. my god :cry:

How warm is it in your room?

Check to see if the heatsink on the gpu is seated correctly, clean it, open your case (get a new one tbfh, that's terrible) 75c idle for the gpu?

Idle----load| for my computer
40c----70c gpu (hd5850)
40c----65c cpu (i7 920)*

*Stock intel cooling was insuffecient, it actually was hitting the thermal max (100c). Replaced with an H50.
