PC constantly breaking when gaming

[tromin]

Hi all

I'm having some serious problems with my computer recently, this is happening about 4 or 5 months now.

When I'm playing in my computer (any game), the game constantly breaks. The break lasts 4 or 5 seconds, and the interval between the breaks are like 1 or 2 minutes... So, as you can see, this is always breaking, and it's really hard to play anything in this conditions...

I don't know why this started happening, but I really need a solution.

I'll wait for any helps,

Stay well

xp or vista?

XP.

By the way, I was wrong. It even breaks at desktop, even if I'm not seeing videos or gaming. It breaks in whatever I'm doing.

[GameJunkie]

try looking in the event viewer for any errors relating to the games breaking

flakey video card or dust in CPU heatsink? or maybe ram, malware.

I think it's dust, old graphic drivers or RAM, because the computer is cleaned.

Tomorrow I'm gonna clean the dust, update the graphic drivers, etc.

Then, I'll post here saying if it worked or not.

Thanks for your quick answers

What are the specs of your PC, and what game(s) are you trying to play?

Download HijackThis from here

Save it and run it from your desktop.

Does it happen in safe mode? Tap F8 on boot and select "Safe mode" see if it freezes any more. And look for nay exclaimation marks or errors in the event log. Run>eventvwr.exe. Copy and paste the error code here
