orikesANG SMASH! GRAARHRG!
All I want to do is play a video game. That's all. Just a simple game of Neverwinter Nights or Icewind Dale or... something. The computer keeps crashing randomly when I try and play these games. During other stuff it will occasionally randomly reboot, but it's almost guaranteed whenever I try and play a high graphics video game on the computer. I used to play Everquest no problem on this computer, but everything else makes it crash. The Sims? Boom. Icewind Dale? Boom. Neverwinter Nights? BOOM!
Does anyone have any advice? I can't really afford any new hardware right now, especially not this close to Christmas. I know the best solution would be to just get a new computer, but that ain't gonna happen. (The computer is running WinXp with 512 SD RAM, with a 1.4ghz AMD processor. The video card is a Geforce 2MX400 or something like that. Soundblaster Live! sound card.)
All I wanted to do was play a hackenslash rpg tonight. *pout*

Date: 2005-12-06 07:42 pm (UTC)I tried it, it didn't work. Updated my video drivers a couple of weeks ago. This morning I updated my sound drivers (though I'm not sure they took or I got the right ones) and updated Direct X. Was able to play for 20 minutes, then it crashed. Tried again and it lasted 10 minutes.
