I think it may be the graphics card
but, after like an hour of using it everything tends to freeze or the screen will just go black
I play a game of league of legends, and after every match (games are 20 mins - 1 hr) I have to restart cause everything freezes and acts up.
Can anyone help me with this ? Is it the graphic card ?
Oh and when I leave me computer on it doesn't go to sleep & youtube sound stops working

sounds like a trojan or malware u should prolly do some in depth scans

I asked if it were a virus and I got made fun of hard ;o

whats ur point there have been multiple trojans that have shut windows computers off before and make sure ur comp isnt running 2 hot

I had a similar problem running WoW on my old laptop... It would freeze up after an hour of gameplay or so... It was due to overheating

Try cleaning out ur tower/unit with compressed air to knock out all the dust & make sure all ur sound/video card drivers are uptodate

Thanks

i've had similar problem with a friends pc and it turned out it was actually the graphics card, so not that silly a question.

if you can borrow a card from a friend give it a try, sometimes just reseating the card can make a difference, but blowing the dust out with a good air duster is the cheapest easiest first choice

You need to upgrade your machine by installing better fans, a decent liquid cooling system and/ or an ice block for your CPU. Your CPU and your GPU are probably overheating like crazy AoT3. Take care of this obstacle soon AoT3. Good luck man.

If your using a desktop, Check your PSU Fan and make sure its still working. if your computer is running and the fan isnt spinning then just replace your PSU.

umm ill just +1
