Hey, well this happens from quite time ago, and it's a pretty weird thing, since my pc freezes sometimes at start of a game, like in the character screen, but if I can make it past the character screen I can play for houts without any problem.
For instance, playing FFXI sometimes I have to restart the PC like 5 times in a row because I get 5 freezes on the character screen before I have time to log, but once I log I can stay for hours, sometimes a few hours until it freezes, but mostly 10 hours or indefinitely, but it's weird because it happens 95% of the time on the character screen, same with Tera, got the same freeze on the server selection screen, and I had to restart a lot of times before I had time to choose server, but once I did and make it to the character creation or playing the game, i can play for hours, it's just at the start. Another example is minecraft, I have to enter the world fast because if I stay on the menus I get the same freeze and have to restart again and again, but once I'm on the world playing it won't restart...
These are the more troublesome games, I don't have any freeze with Torchlight 2, Left 4 dead 2, Portal 2, The Witcher 2, Diablo 2 and 3 and so on...
This is my system info:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.40GHz
Ram DDR2 2GB 800MHz x2 (4GB)
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Power supply LC6550GP 550W
P5K SE/EPU S775 P35 ATX FSB1600
MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
Any idea? It should be a reason why it only happens with certain games, and at certain point, but I have no idea what's the problem.
