    Hello everyone. I'm having a very odd problem with my PC and running BeamNG. I just upgraded my video card from a Nvidia GTX 550 to a 750, and I am now experiencing problems running the game. I start the game, and after about 10 minutes of driving around, the game freezes up and my screen goes black. A weird noise comes from the speakers as well (it sounds like the default engine sound, but distorted). Also, the computer tower makes a medium pitched humming sound. Everything was fine when I restarted my computer. I have re-installed BeamNG, but the problem still occurs. I'm pretty sure it's not overheating, because the PC tower sits on top of a desk, and is a good 8 inches away from the wall, and all fans are functioning properly. I've tested it on the Development Branch version and the latest stable version and both are having the same issue.

    PC Specs:

    Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
    Intel Core i5-3450 @3.1 GHz Quad Core
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750

    Everything is about three years old except the video card

    This has happened on all three versions of BeamNG (Steam, Non-Steam, and the Development Branch)

    I also uploaded the Torque3D log

    Thanks:)

    It says Intel pentium 3 Xeon not intel Something i5
    And it seems to me either your processor hates its life Or the motherboard does (I have no idea about that though to me it sounds like that though)

    Hmm that's weird. This is what System Information says: Capture.PNG


    Anyway, motherboard is an MSI MS-7756 (Shows it in the above pic) I could look into getting a new one if it is conflicting with other hardware components, or if it is just very old. Thanks for reply:)


    EDIT: Just noticed that the MS-7756 is the driver or something, not the actual model:p The motherboard I have is a MSI H77MA-G43.

    What power supply is running?
    Are GPU drivers upto date?
    No malware?
    Upto date DirectX9 installation?

    I have updated DirectX and it appears that the game seems to be working fine now. I haven't had a crash yet and I have been playing steady for about an hour. Thank you so much:)
