So my computers broken

[Whoami88]

Apparently what happens that when I play a game my graphics driver stops responding to the commands of my computer so either I get the blue screen of death or game crashes.

Wtf causes that? I was playing fine not too long ago but it just got worse and worse where I can't play any 3d games.

Uh... first thing i'd try is reinstalling/updating your video drivers, then possibly direct X, then check your vidcard isn't overheating (open the case and make sure the fan/heatsink isn't caked in dust or something).

[StandingCow]

What are your computer specs? It could be your card overheating.

Is your case dust free? All fans working?

Start with that, if its clean and fans are working and after you post your specs we can troubleshoot further.

The man has "88" in his name, and is therefore a Neo-Nazi who plans on posting "White Power" images and hate speech after his computer problem is fixed. I vote yea on Senator Schumer's bill for a pre-emptive ban and will be adressing the WaW Forum Admin General Assembly after my trip to the hurricane-damaged areas of Loser-anna.

Assuming your comp isn't total crap (unlike mines), you could try the standard overhaul: (update your AV and spyware software and) sweep for viruses and spyware, defrag, update drivers and Windows, install some performance optimizers like TuneXP and IAA (if you have an Intel processor).

I got my case opened and have 2 fans running so I don't see how its overheating.
Specs
Athlon 2.1 ghz
Windows XP w/ Service Pack 2
1024 RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 PRO w/ 128 memory
Audgiy Gamer Sound card
9.0c Direct X
Drivers and everything updated

Did the whole Tune XP, reinstalled Service Pack too, reinstalled drivers/games, swept for viruses/spyware. Ran windows Error checker and among otherthings. Hell I swept my entire harddrive clean and started over on a blank drive but I still have problems

Krispey Kreme:......What? Lol, how the fuck did you figure that I'm a neo-nazi.....:cool:

I have ATI radeon 9800 and I've been having same sort of troubles after I updated my drivers.

It could also be the new DirectX, which seems to be totally fucked. But MS wont let you uninstall them, you need a special remover for it.

All of them older ATI cards too...

I havent had any problems with my 9600 o_O

[StandingCow]

My 9500 pro never did this...

[Lord Kelvin]

My bro's 98 Pro (well, XT now since he flashed it, replaced the fan, and added RAM coolers) never had problems like this. Wierd o_O.

I honestly ROFL'd at this, and yes, my 9600 works fine, even though I gehtto-rigged a 80mm fan to it with duct tape. :o

[pro kossu]

My problems could also be due to faulty memory, as I seem to get some corruptions every now and then but I cant be arsed to find out. :p

[siddy]

try using drivercleaner to uninstall all your ATI drivers totally then reinstall.

The reason for me saying that was that you said it was the newest drivers...
