It's my our old friend - my dad's PC.

A while ago, he got a new Gfx card - ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, Tyan Tachyon make.

Anyways, recently it's been freezing after about 1-2 minutes of playing Moh:AA.

It used to be fine, it's all so suddenly. Moh: AA Breakthrough (the Expansion) was fine also.

So what's going on?
It's all (seems to be) installed properly.
It has a built on thermometer thingy, and checking that before play, it's only touching 30 degrees C, and the danger area is 70.

Hmm.
Help!

(And MOD - I'm going to slap you if you touch this thread)

Under load means with the CPU running at 100%

Woo
I fixed it.
Dunno how.
But I fixed.

Working perfectly well, with game settings at max etc.
Glad that's over.

Heh, no, but I tell you, I was *that* much away from doing just that.

Well, I rewired the power cables connecting the hardware to the PSU - I think they were set up wrong, giving various pieces of hardware either too much or too little voltage.
I compared the wiring to my own computer, and changed it about.

Couldn't try it til' not too long ago, because, as I said, the CD-RW wasn't being detected.
This was because when bunching the wires together, my dad (yeah yeah, blame it on someone else) had inadvertantly disconnected the IDE cable.

So, once I'd sorted that (it took me ages to actually find out was wrong - never thought the solution'd be as bloody simple) I tried MoH on max settings.

Perfect.
It was crashing on the minimum settings before, but now it's smooth as 'owt.
Yey.
