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)

Good for you. Someone's nicked my MOH CD...
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.

What did you do? Hit it?
Woo
I fixed it.
Dunno how.
But I fixed.
Working perfectly well, with game settings at max etc.
Glad that's over.

Under load means with the CPU running at 100%

I have heard of GPU's on certain motherboards but it is widely documented and would be on the motherboard manafacturers site, The fact there is no heatsink on the northbridge isnt that bad as the motherboard manafacturer would not have made the motherboard without a chipset fan if it hadnt been tested thouroughly, check the heat of the actuall cpu in windows, try using another program like hmonitor which detects the cpu heat and the voltages then see them when system is under load.

Oh another reason could be that the motherboard is incompatible with the GPU.
Replace considering with assuming.
Well considering there's fan over the CPU, then yes - though it's probably due to dust more than anything.
