Pigg

Hello My name is Pigg (yes that it is an alias) while i play games like
battlefeild 2142 and Team Fortess2 my computer has been crashing but When i
play jade empire special edition it doesnt crash i have also noticed that
when i play halo2 my sound doesnt work. i have made changes to my system and
updated all my clients for the games and drivers for my sound card and video
card and they still dont work ive even tried runing nothing but the games.
Just the past day i cheaked my settings and they were all changed to default
and i got the message "Windows Vista has turned UAC on to further protect you
computer" after that i turned it off and a bubble popped up say it would like
me to turn on UAC to further protect my Prptection i tould it to disable
security notifications and stop asking me about UAC but it still does and now
my games will launch but will only run for a few minutes.

Sounds like the system could be overheating. BF2142 and TF2 are both
heavier than Jade Empire. To rule that out take the side of the case off
and see if it lasts any longer.

Thanks for the idea but recently i have wipped my c drive adn reinstalled
every thing for scratch and have gotten a new gameing case with four vents so
i dont think my computer is over heating

P.S.
the sound problem was fixed also
 
well i was thinking of my new case for my mac wich also runs vista but it
doesnt crash so to fix my other comp it took off the front cover removed the
spare drive covers and now BF2142 works i still dont know bout TF2
