Hi there guys and gals
HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!
I upgraded my PC just prior to Christmas and everythings been running sweeeet up until around Wednesday this week (26/01/08).
The problem I got was when I tried to fire up Half Life 2 I'd get a blue screen for about half a second and then the machine would just restart. So retracing my steps I done a system restore prior to installing stunt playground and tried again. Joy!
Restarted just to make sure the problem wasn't going to come back and BANG there it was again.
Downloaded and installed the latest Forceware drivers and installed no joy starting HL2 (Removed existing driver first via control panel,system).
Tried re-installing DirectX no joy starting HL2 BSOD!
Changed resolution to game resolution Joy.
Changed resolution back to 1024x768 and tried again BSOD!
Tried doing the web setup of DirectX Joy. Could even switch between Half Life 2 and Windows.
Turned my computer on this morning (26/01/08) to watch a movie BSOD!
Tried Half Life 2 BSOD!
Tried the resolution thing again BSOD! OMG!!!!
System restore Joy!
Restart to try again BSOD!
Carried out everything that I'd done on Wednesday BSOD!
HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!
I definately think this is a DirectX and or driver related problem because when I uninstall the driver (as above) I can watch movies till the cows come home!
