Hi, new here so sorry if this is the wrong category to put my query in, but here goes:
Just got a new laptop;
Acer Aspire 7551G,
AMD Phenom II X3 Mobile Processor N380 (2.1GHz),
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (1GB - up to 2815MB),
4GB DDR3 Memory.
And have installed a good few games; the Stalker series run perfectly on the highest settings with only bearable FPS drop, but playing 3rd person games has become a bit of a problem. With GTA IV, Dead Rising 2 and Assassin's Creed II I've been able to play the game for up to an hour without a single problem, most of the time on the highest settings, but then randomly the game will freeze and produce a really weird sound like the audio has got stuck and render the laptop useless, no movement whatsoever from a mouse, controller, nor ctrl+alt+del will work so a manual restart is neessary.
I've tried to pinpoint it out but the only solutions i can muster are that the 64-bit Windows 7 I'm using is at fault or the GPU is running hot. A friend recommended this place to help me so here's hoping you can solve the problem.
Thanks.
