I recently upgraded my PII Celeron A 450 MHz and bought a 1333 MHz Athlon, Abit's KT7A Motherboard and 512 MB Ram.
My computer crashes when i play vids, divx avi mpg, more often on the bigger video files but as i bought Max Payne i experienced that it too sometimes crashed.
My System Is :
Athlon 1333 MHz
512 MB Ram
Abit KT7A Motherboard
GeForce 64 MB DDR Ram
SoundBlaster Live!
I've been looking at these boards to see if there were some posted hardware compatibility problems but i didn't find anything to match the description of my problem.
Things to notice is that my computer crashes more often at bigger vids and recently in Max Payne, no other kind of games like Diablo 2 LOD, Delta Force 3, Unreal Tournament.
I've been suspecting my graphics card to be the culprit as Nvidia and AMD haven't been best pals when making hardware.
Now i suspect my RAM because i expect that vids will be stored in the RAM for faster access and Max Payne is the most hardware intensive game made so far and they actually write in the manual that you are suggested to have at least 256 MB of RAM for the use of 32 Bit Color Depth in the game.
I'm not just sure what i can do about this.
Pleaes help me
Thanks alot, Thomas Lefevre
