Here's my problem: I put this rig together about 2 weeks ago. I got the GPU 1yr used off of ebay. Since I put my PC together whenever I play either ME1 or ME2 after an unspecific period of time (sometime I can play for an entire day, like 12+ hours, sometimes 15 minutes) the game will freeze and the screen turns black either the monitor refreshes itself (and I can keep playing the game without issue, until it freezes again) or the entire computer locks up and I have to hit the reset button. The system log says that the freezes that the computer recovers from are when the driver stops responding (the lock up freeze logs are unintelligable and not referanceable). The game will run for most of the day when I go into the catalyst manager and crank the fan speed to 100%, but after a long day/night of playing it still crashes. This might be a hardware thing or a software thing seeing as the only games I've played are ME1 and ME2. (I have also played Dragon Age: Origins, and Team Fortress 2 but only for 2-3 hour stints).
I have reinstalled all of the drivers, no dice. I think it might be an overheating problem because I've noticed that it crashes more frequently when its hot outside, and cranking the fan speed sortof fixes it. Other than the games the computer works great. Can anyone help?
