Comment:

all my games are crashing to a "blue screen of Death" and I have to reboot the PC to get out of it.

Sims 2
Battlefield 2
City of Heroes

all of them do it now.

specs:

AthelonXP 2800
1.8 gig of ram
RADEON 9600 Pro SE
450 Powermax ATX P.S
Asus Nforce 2 MOBO
ATI Catalyst drivers (which may be the problem)
direct x 9.0c (which also may be the problem)

help?


I've uninstalled Drivers (for ATI) and reinstalled win xp I've even rolled back direct X and still I'm having an MAJOR issue.

help is always welcomed

What does the blue screen say?

What does your system and app logs say?

Which catalysts are you using?

Have you updated your Nforce drivers to current?

How do you arrive at 1.8GB of RAM? Have you tested it with memtest86?

Your video card should be upgraded if you plan on any serious gaming....the 9600SE is weak
