Games That Pink Screen!

mightymagi82 · 10-28-09, 11:35 AM

After playing a 3D game for anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, my games get a pink screen and freezes up the entire computer I have. I have Windows 7 official installed but my brother said this problem occurred on Vista, before we installed Windows 7. We have a GTX 280 video card from BFG technologies, and it mainly crashes on two games we have installed, The Witcher and Mass Effect. I have World of Warcraft installed too but it runs fine and without any problems. It just seems the heavy 3D games have the problem. Anybody else having problems with these games? All drivers are up to date and we've followed a ton of advice from the official game forum for the Witcher as well, but no dice yet.

It's because you have WoW installed. Drugs cause problems.

I had same problem with my previous computer, it ended up being a bad video card.
