Hi, whenever I play combat arms on my computer i will be in the middle of playing it and it will randomly freeze and make a loud ringing sound through my speakers and will go to a blue screen that says preparing for memory dump. I can browse the web and do other things on it without doing this. Is there any easy fix to this? Thank you!

Nothing personal, but you need an upgrade. That? That's just a dumb song my network provider made up to advertise themselves :D

you really gotta rememer to give your computer a pad on the side from time to time, otherwise it might start acting strange, if it feels neglected!

Download this... http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ and this... http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163 Use these programs to check both your CPU and GPU temps. Chances are the reason why your PC shuts down is because it's overheating. On the RivaTuner program, go in to the hardware monitoring thing, and check your "Core Temperature"... http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx31/bevorkeng/Untitled-3.jpg Try running the game in windowed mode if you can, and record your temps while you're playing (while you're actually playing the game itself, and not in the menus or something), before you crash.

Hmm well I was curious so I opened up my case and starting dusting some parts off and i realized I don't have any case fans! I do have aztek liquid cooling but I don't have a CLUE how that works. Do you have to put water in it or something? Because it is really quite warm inside it. Help?

EDIT: I do have a case fan but its built in to the liquid cooling. Didnt see that haha

No fans at all? Not even an exhaust fan? It's possible that could be the reason why, since the air wouldn't be circulating, and all the hot air that everything would be generating would just be sitting in your case, basically heating everything up. The dust probably didn't help much either. Also, as far as that liquid cooling thing goes, you don't have to put any water in it because whoever you bought your PC from should've already taken care of all that for you already. Maybe make sure the part that's cooling the CPU isn't loose or anything. Try to make sure that it's on your CPU nice and tight.

What brand is your PSU? 500 watts is a bit on the low side these days so it's possible that you're pushing it its limit, causing your comp to restart.
