Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I hope I can get help with.
I have a system that I have been using for a couple years now, it was top of the line when I made it, and now I am experiencing some problems. Lately when I play computer games (WoW, Age of Empires III, and Civ IV, to be specific), sometimes my games run smoothly but sometimes I get flickering graphics after a period of time. This problem persists for a couple minutes, sometimes more. It looks like a problem with the specific game, like if the programmers just didn't create the worlds and graphics well enough, but it is a problem that spans over all three games for me. I don't have a problem when I am just working normally on my computer; it is only when I play graphic intensive games.
This has been mainly a nuisence, but lately my computer has been freezing after a half an hour of playing games. No freezing if I am just working on my computer.
Here are my computer specs:
