not crash out to the desktop, but do a total resetting of my machine.
to be fair, i was considering doing a rebuild soon as it is, but i'd like to know what could possibly be causing it so i can check a step at a time if/when i DO rebuild.
i'm running:
MSI KT6 Delta L mobo (1gig of ram, which i tested and is fine)
Athlon XP3000
Gforce FX5700
Windows 2000
DirectX 9c
it's utterly baffling as everything used to run fine.
i thuoght Far Cry may be crashing due to the no-cd patch i added, but then it occured to me that Star Wars Battlefront has ALWAYS crashed on one specific level (meanig i can't finish the damn thing :D )
so i installed a fresh new demo of Flatout and that crashed as well. i installed latest drivers for gforce and that seems stable now, i played it for about 10 minutes without any hassles.. but when i tried far cry again, that crashes out where it never used to.
any clues?
anyone... bueller?
It could also be the power supply dying.
i ran the RAM test until it said 100%.. then i had to go to bed.
i'll dry updating the mobo drivers, but it's probably about time i built a new one anyways as it scored quite badly on 3dmark05 and i need it to be a graphics monster for work.
