So as some of you may know I built a computer the other day. No surprise that I am having issues with it right now. Here is my set up AMD Athlon 64 3000+ MSI K8N Neo 4 F Motherboard Leadtek GeForce 6600 256mb video card 1GB Crucial DDR400 RAM 200GB Maxtor SATA HD Antec TruePower 430watt PSU LiteOn DVD burner I cannot play Far Cry even on the lowest settings without it locking up. I have no idea what the problem is. I loaded all the newest platform and videocard drivers from nVidia and the fucker still doesn’t work right. Also, sometime while I am just doing standard shit like Internet Explorer it will lock up. I am getting really pissed. Any ideas??? ---

go to the Leadtek site and check all the FAQs and furums. It may be a video or video memory usage settings problem in the motherboard setup. Usually they have you disable shadowing and other such shit in the bios setup. ---

I don’t think heat is my issue. I checked in the BIOS H/W monitor and the highest temps I have seen are 94\*F ---

Try unplugging and reinserting your ram modules. Also check that the cpu is totally inserted. Sometimes the dudes that put it in your motherboard when you buy it don’t get it just right. Those AMD’s are twitchy. Also, recheck that all the cards are seated fully. Usually bad connections are a BIG prob. I know, built many PC,s myself. Windows XP is good at clearing up software issues. Sounds to me like a hardware prob. ---

Usually bad connections are a BIG prob. I know, built many PC,s myself. Windows XP is good at clearing up software issues. Sounds to me like a hardware prob. My inclination was hardware as well. It would suck if that were the case. I had the RAM, CPU, and Mobo assembled and tested when I ordered it. ---

Try using only 1 stick of ram at a time and playing farcry. Is farcry the only game it does it in? Any updates for farcry? Right click my computer/properties/hardware/device manager.Do you see any exclamation points? Did you install your motherboard drivers? ---

on a side note, farcry had TONS of sound card issues, which caused lockups etc in game its certainly not your problem, but if you get past your issue now and are stumped by a new one, check out the farcry forums for a sound fix =) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/computer-issues-f-ck/3864.md?page=2)
