I am encountering something very strange. When I am playing SH3 i have no problems when in mission. but once im back on base i hear a strange sound comming from inside my case. Its hard to describe its pretty faint but it sounds like a cable just barley touching a fan. Ive looked inside and no such thing is happening. Anyways i hear that sound then i start to get some red dots flicker on my screen and if i dont close the program or get to sea the game eventually freezes. Its more noticable when Im in the sub set up screen or the crew management screen where you do awards and all that. Any ideas on why its doing this I have similar problems with COD2 but no other games that i play. Rainbow six 3, IL 2, Pacific fighters all work without a care in the world. Now the real strange thing is i have not changed or touched my comptuer at all and these games worked just fine for 2 months. my comptuer is 3 months old
comptuer specs are
AMD 64 3200+
Geforce 7800GT
2G Ram
80G hard drive
Any help or suggestions would be great
thanks and happy hunting
