I haven't been able to play games on my computer for a long time, it shuts the monitor off. I updated my computer almost a year ago and have had this problem ever since. I changed the video card, memory and CPU. I thought my problem might be in the memory so I replaced my OCZ memory with Crucial memory, that was what was recommend from Intel's web site and got the memory Crucial recommended for my motherboard (Intel D875PBZ). I have a EVGA video card (256-A8-N507-AX) that I just updated to the latest driver and now I can play operation flashpoint for almost ten minutes, before I couldn't reach 5 minutes of game play. The monitor goes black and then it's like it's in sleep mode. I have to reboot my computer manually. I check the event viewer and I get these ploblems..
DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}
DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service winmgmt with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}
DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service netman with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{BA126AE5-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}
The mrtRate service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
I have alwasy recived the "mrtRate service failed" but, the DCOM errors are new. When I updated my video card driver and restarted my computer the DCOM errors were gone untill I tried to play the game and now I get those again.
