Hi,
Im new here, i built my first cpu a week a go. everything was running fine, then i went to play my game SWTOR i hit the play button and windows froze on me. The first thing i did was to check and see how much ram my sytem was reconizing... at that point it was only reconizing 256m. I have 16gigs of ddr3 1600 dual channel kingston hyper x. So after hours spent running virus programs and such in safe mode i finally got it to where it was reconzing my ram again. Now the thing is it still freezes up when hitting play on the game. The only thing i had done different that day was install black ops 2 and it installed its version of direct x. So im not sure what is going on. i have tested all the ram a stick at a time, have tested the video card as i have a spare. both are good. and none of this happens when i open anyother programs. unfortunately right now i cant test it on other games cause i put the computer back to earlier state. any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou in advanced. also as of now im reinstalling my game i play. maybe it was corrupted and when i rebboted earlier system did a scan disk check and found bad sectors so it fixed them. if reinstalling game doesnt work would reinstalling direct x might help since it might have became corrupted? or might it be a bigger problem like the motherboard?
