Ahoy!
Im having problems with my pc. I have downloaded many games from torrents and 90% of them run smoothly without any problem, but the latest i have tried (xcom: enemy unknown) keeps crashing. I think it is a graphics card crash as when it happens the screen goes to a random fuzzy color like purple or green and a 'bzzzzzzzzz' noise starts. I just restart it and it reboots fine.
The only other game that caused this on my pc was Skyrim. What would be causing this? I thought it could be the temp of my PC as it has been running for the last 15hours+ so i have turned it off to allow to to cool down as i write this.
Would it have anything to do with the fact when i downloaded the torrent it was in RAR's which I had to unpack and i'v done something wrong? I have had no problem with ISO games (dishonored worked just fine earlier in the week). I cant remember weather Skyrim was and ISO or in RAR's when i DLed it.
The crash seems to happen after something occurs. i.e a car exploding and then 2seconds after the crash, or an enemy being killed in a short cinematic then crash. It unlikely but both have had a loud noise associated with the action if that could have anything do to with it?
I am running Windows 7 32bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 2.66GHz
4gb RAM
ASUS VW193T 896MB Geforce GTX 260
Thanks!
