Asheron's Call 2 Crashing new computer

[Brian Mathe]

Hi Everyone,

I have tried everything to make it work and am ready to
pull my hair out or throw the new machine out the window.

AC2 will not run for more than a few minutes and either
drops to desktop or bluescreens.

I have the following hardware:
Biostar IDEQ N200 Nforce Chipset
Athlon 2500+ 333mhz FSB
2 Cosair 512 mb CS2 memory with Heat spreaders 333mhz
NVIDIA Gforce 5900 with 128 MB
160 GB Maxtor HD

Setup XP without ACPI and with. Neither works.
Disabled onboard graphics.
No faswrites and no overclocking.

WinXP SP1
Latest NVIDIA Drivers 3.13 for NFORCE and 52.16 Graphics
Even tried drivers that came in the box for both the
motherboard and the grpahics board.

Tried with Directx verions 8.1, 9.0, 9.0a and 9.0b

Nothing will allow the game to work.

I wish I kept my last system with ATI 7500 and NFORCE
setup by ABIT at least it ran albiet slowly.


Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Brian Mathe
