Q6600 o/clock and Solitaire BSODs

[azhar subari]

Hi all,

My PC is running perfectly fine ( small overclock of 3.2GHZ ) when I run eveything else EXCEPT when I play a simple Spider Solitaire game. It ALWAYS happens that when I'm 5~10 minutes into it, the BSOD appears. I ran Prime95 & SP2004 several times after it first occured ( overnight about 8~10hrs) and it always comes out all clear.

As I said ealier, every other application and game that I run, goes smoothly. Can anyone shed some light on this? Its an annoying problem so I'd like to solve it please. Thank you.

Well if it only happens while you are playing spider solitaire, then the game must have a bug in it, causing a fatal error. I just wouldn't play spider solitaire anymore

you dont mention which OS you use so this is for XP ... from MS's help file

"To add or remove a Windows component
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.

Open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Follow the instructions in the Windows Components Wizard.
Notes

To open Add or Remove Programs, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
If an item is selected in the Windows Components Wizard, it has already been installed.
If you installed Windows components without configuring them, a list of those components will appear. To configure a component, click Configure, and then follow the instructions on the screen. "



Try removing games , then reboot and install them again . If it still does it after than then play hearts instead
