Hola! For some reason my PC decided this morning to disobey me during the play of my LoTR game. Fact is that I did not add anything new on my computer, no new components that could lower CPU with putting the extra pressure on it nor new programs have made some maybe unwanted changes on my OS plus my AV hasn’t detect any malwares attached to my computer. What could cause this sudden “game rejection”?

Hola right back at you! For every crashing problem fist thing that comes on everyone’s mind is overheating (video card or CPU), which could happen’ when you play 3D games, specially in the case when motherboard and RAM are incompatible so when the motherboard tries to pass data from RAM to graphic card it is actually happening to quickly and can’t handle that action well. You could look if your CPU is fine and maybe you overclocked it earlier, lower the CPU a bit down don’t put you computer on intense level, could refuse to do over power working hours in the future maybe for definite and completely fail on you. The best option would be that you missed to update your DirectX, check the version you are using and if there are some new updates in that area. Possible RAM failure or needs for upgrading to higher number then you have, especially if you are still sticking on 512 MB so run memtest. You could check the stress level with some program or try to reinstall Windows because I don’t think any of us knows for sure when and why any change on our OS happens, usually showing up as an unexpected, unwanted and annoying surprise. Well, I can only hope that this narrowed your search for what causes sudden “bad game reception” at your PC.
