Just upgraded my PC after my old one blew up. My specs are:
AMD 2600XP Processor
VIA KT4V Motherboard
GeForce FX 5200
40GB HD
256MB RAM
I am running Direct X 9.0 and have installed all the Chipset drivers for my Motherboard and have updated everything that needed to be updated. The problem I am having is with running games, although its not so much a problem as it is a niggle. I can run Max Payne 2 on full settings no problem at all along with a few other top spec new games. The problem however is with the game just cutting out and going back to windows. At first I thought it could be my Monitor refresh rate but after knocking it down to 60hz only to see the same problem occuring again at random points in each game. The game doesn't crash it just cuts me back to windows in a matter of seconds.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Cheers!

Tried the Deus EX: Invisible War demo which has cut out once but ran fine with full settings. So far the games I have ran have worked worked without any slow down or graphical problems, its just this annoying cut out which has happened in the games I have tried at least once. With it being a completely random action its hard to find a solution to the problem.
The game is heavily laden with bugs from what I gather, have you tried other games to see how well they're playing?
I am running Windows 98 SE as I'm not really a fan of XP. Its the demo I am running and although I have had the odd crash (which I can live with) it seems to me that there is either a bug in the game or something I am doing wrong. I read that the game had crashing problems on 98/ME but its the cutting out thats piecing me off. With it being the demo I can't patch it but it has happened in a couple of other games as well which suggests it could be something I am doing wrong.
I had this problem with Max Payne when I bought my new system.
Have you tried downloading + installing the patch's for it? I think there's something to do with Windows XP that causes the game to do that.
