This problem has happened in the past few months. Around
the time microsoft started releasing those updates for the
sobig worm and such. I downloaded old ones they said were
critical also, and ever since then every time i play
computer games the computer crashes. This happens with
games that are in first person. Games like Mafia do not
crash, and thats a third person game. Games like counter-
strike or battle field crash. I would be playing one time
maybe 30 minutes. THen screen go black, then go back to
what i last saw and then the computer will be jammed
making me have to reset it using hte power switch. This is
very annoying. THe next time i got back, it will take less
than 10 minutes to do the same thing over. I tried
everything you guys said on stuff related, about msconfig,
about setting hardware acc to two to the left, turning off
anti alias, all sorts of things. And these problems arent
caused by my video card because I was using the same
drivers for over 6 months then I get this problem so I
update drivers for card and no luck still. Computer is not
overheating, I check bios its 120-125 degrees farenheit.
System:
HP Pavillion
Windows XP Home
1.67 ghz
512 mb ram
80 GB HD
cd-rw
32 mb nvidia geforce2 integrated gpu
I even used a virus scanner from a site you gave and I
found three minor trojans that would not cause this
because this has been happening before I got them. What is
the problem? I suspect its something in the updates. Or,
my computer IS overheating, I looked inside, no dust, fans
working well, evrything is fine. I have latest directx and
have since it came out. My power surge protector is where
I have plugged computer in for long time, since my old
computer and I dont think it has to do with power supply.
Same cords since beginning when I got computer. Computer
is about 3 years old little younger and problem happening
since 6 or so months, around late july. What is the
problem? Thanks
