Hi, I have the PC which is in my sig. The problem is, when I am playing GTA IV or any "heavy" games, the PC stucks. I have to restart manually. It's irritating me! And, when I am surfing the net with music in the background, BSOD comes up. I think this PC is Phuced up a big time. This and a problem with PoP. I don't know if it's the prob with the game or my Phuced up PC. It's also gets stuck. And I have legit copy. Please give me a solution other than reinstalling the OS, if any solution is there of course.

Update GTA IV using the latest patch. Seeing that you have 4GB ram, should I assume you are using 64 bit OS? Also update ati drivers and install farcry 2 hotfix- YES it does work for other games. What on Earth do you even by phuced??
If this doesnt work out, then run orthos blend test for 4-5 hours and let me know if it restarts. If it restarts, shuts down, orthos gives any error- its a hardware issue.

^Phuced means F@1$ed :D. OK, I'll try what you told. I am not using 64-bit OS, but 32-bit :(. It's not only "games" problem, but general problem. And what about Prince of Persia?? Please help me 'bout that game...
