[RESOLVED] Gaming locking up???

[tgelvin]

I have a friend that's been having problems with his 1gig system.. it kept locking up when playing games... we updated all the drivers for the system and still kept locking up... then one of our other collegues suggested disabling the anti-virus software... so we did that and the gaming no longer locks up...

Check the system temperature. Also if possible try a bigger PSU.

You might want to go to AMD's Recommended System Configuration and see what they suggest for cooling and power supplies...

Check the system themperature (It always gets hottest when playing games) your AGP drivers, and then check the memory...try shrinking the size of the AGP aperature. SOmetimes a funky memory address that woulnd't affect normal computer operation will crash a system when it tries to do the AGP thing.
