When I start any game in 2D or 3D the computer turns to a blue screen and tells me how to get to safe mode. It also tells me that "Windows recoverd form critacl error" then at the bottom it has a stop error with lotsa 0's and other numbers.
Below that it says: Dumping Physical Memory to drive. After that reaces 100 it flases a sentice at the bottom of the screen and shuts down. Also in that pharagraph is says "disable chacheing and update bios"
i do both but when i unchache windows Xp just freezes before even geting to the desktop.

I have a SiS730S Main board, Windows Xp Home, All of my cards are built into the Mainboard so they are all made by SiS.
My Video card is 64Mb

Lol, but yeah, goto sis website to download the latest drivers for your card. If you are unsure about the exact model of your card, search for the motherboard first.

You don't need an installer, just unzip the files to any folder on your hard-drive, then goto update driver and let Windows search your pc itself, it will find them.

Lol, ummmmmmmmm, goto START and click on WINDOWS UPDATE, once there, scan your comp for updates. See if Microsoft have a driver for you, if they have, it should work as it is digitally signed. Worth a try.
