Help! Computer locks up in game

(Megabyte40000) #1

I can’t play more than 30 seconds before my machine locks up. It’s a pretty bad lockup, I can’t <ctrl><alt><delete> to get out of the game (I’m running XP Pro). It will only happen when I get into the 3D part of the game, leading me to suspect a driver issue. I’ve tried rolling back my drivers twice but nothing helps. Does anyone else have this same problem ever?

For reference, I have a P4/2.4Gig, 512 Megs PC400 Mem, 17Gig UW SCSI HD, Asus P4C800Deluxe Mobo, PNY Ti4200 Video.

I’m running all the latest drivers and MS updates.

this kind of thing happened to me way back when I tried playing Tirbes 1 on my old voodoo something-or-other card… after I upgraded it was fine… but you shouldn’t need an upgrade… as long as you have the lates non beta/alpha drivers for all your hardware and any XP service paks, u should be fine… I dunno. Are you rinning anything in the background?
