| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by ssmarc: ... Any suggestions from anyone on what I might look to change to help solve this problem. I can furnish any additional information that be required to help solve this issue as well. [/QUOTE]Sounds like maybe a heat problem. I'm having problems with that right now. One of my hard drives, it seems, overheats and starts puking and my PC eventually locks up. Opening the case and pointing a fan directly at it has seemed to help. ---------------------------------------------- [i]"We're planning on adding an icon for that..."[/i] [emote|:s] |

| If it only happens playing video intensive games it has to be the video driver. Try lowering the hardware acceleration. Use dxdiag.exe, do the 2 video tests. Try safe mode if possible, if it works in safe mode it is the video driver. Download the most up to date display driver, since the xp drivers don't support opengl. Apply sp1, since it has a fix that applys to new games, and in general it has a lot of improvements in directx. -gosh |
