Hi, i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what could be causing this, Here goes...
Im trying to sort my bro's PC out for him as all games are crashing back to desktop, from NFSU 2 to Icewind dale 2 + more they all start up fine and play fine but they all (particularly IWD2) will crash back to desktop within a few mins to an hour or so. no error messages are displayed.
I have dissabled all unnecessary start up items, its the 2nd fresh install of XP Pro (first time with only SP1 now with SP2) DX 9.0c installed, all latest drivers (Nvidia Nforce 5.10 + Nvidia 66.93) - have also tested memory as best i can (tried just one stick on its own, then the other on its own, this didnt resolve the problem)
His system is as follows: XP2100+, 512Mb unbranded RAM, ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Rev2.0 with Bios Ver 1006, Leadtek Ti4200 64Mb, 80Gb Seagate Barracuda.
I cant for the life of me think what it could be. It may be a case of not seeing the wood for the trees but any ideas would be greatly appreciated. oh and if there is a better place to post this, please just say - i thought i'd post here due to the high level of knowledge held by some of the guys that frequent this forum.
Thanks!
