Hey,
Lately when i have been playing any game on my old computer the game eventually freeze's
and the sound still plays but it plays the same sound over and over.It is an amd duron 1.3ghz,geforce 3 ti200,512mb and the wierd thing is that the games used to work on this exact computer.It might be that i need a new driver all i know is that i have downloaded a display driver that used to work with the same games.Maybe i need another one?Could someone help me.
Thanks

When its a driver problem, does it have an "!" yellow mark within the device manager? If yes, then reinstalling the driver will help, otherwise it could be something else like computer overheated due to dust problems... I would include the make/model of your motherboard, and power supply with 12v ratings...
