PC getting hanged-up when playing games...

[shafi]

Hi,

My PC gets hanged-up when I play the demo version of Melourne House (a cricket computer game). I works fine for a few games and after that suddenly, voice stops and the system hangs. Even when I try to restart it does not restart. This si a demo version and installed on my computer. As far as I remember (not completely sure) this same problem does not happen when I play FIFA'99 (a soccer game for PC).
This I play using CD. There are no other memory intensive programs in the background except the basi windows (Runaapp, Systemtray, Explorer).

My computer specs: 433MHz, 8.3 GB HD, 96 MB RAM, 8 MB Shared Video memory.

Could some one pls tell the reason and remedy for this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Shafi.

I'm not familiar with this game, unfortunately. Could be any number of things.
First place to try would be the web site of the company that made the game: bugs are notorious in computer games and there may be a patch.
I would also recommend checking for viruses. Also, if the system is locking only after a few games, it could be an overheating problem. (Carefully) make sure that your system and CPU fans are both working properly.
Good luck.

Make sure that your PC meets all system requiements for particular game,
it may be memory causing problem,as 96 MB seem low now a days.
most of the games needs atleast 128 or 256 MB.

give me more infomation at what time and how frequent it creashes.

may be i can help you with this.
