Play Games Computer Graphices Don't Experience
Aug 10, 2009
I'm new to the forums as you can tell by my post count, and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on a decent gaming computer, to run games such as C&C 3 ( and 4 in 2010) CS:S, and maybe even FO3. I have around £500 to spend ( monitor is not needed ), I have found a pretty decent looking computer from Staples:Staples.co.uk Your business partner for Office Supplies, furniture and technology. Just wondering if this comptuer is decent enough to handle these games, and maybe future releases. Also could someone please explain what is the difference between Intergrated graphics and dedicated graphics. I don't have too much experience with the hardware of computers, so building one is off the question.

just got some games loaded and I used to have ATITray Tools which would let you keep the frame rate and temps in the corner during game play, anything like that for Nvidia? Just ran Quake4 at full specs and had Nvidia performance control panel turn the fan to 90%... but would like to monitor the temps and frame rates on this and other games. 9800GT 1GB. ( as soon as the new card arrives.... back to ATI tools.

My system has recently been randomly turning aero off, but I haven't made any major change recently but it still decides to randomly shut off aero. I need to know how to fix this. The laptop comes stock with 2x512MB of ram, and apparently from using it this long, from around July, I believe I would be better with 2GB of ram. I need to know how to do this. Today I went to try to play the game FlyFF and it went find for about 20mins and then randomly my display driver crashed. It recover immediately, well as so Vista said, but my computer was stuck with this big white box over the screen and I had no choice but to power off manually because nothing worked. Now I need to know if there is anyway to have some shop or way of getting a new display driver or getting a better one, or one I can actually work with. I can't play any games grrr. I believe thats it. Sorry I couldn't find that much info on it. There was specs on E/B but I have just E.

Problem description: Just built two brand new rigs last night. When trying to run Age of Conan or Team Fortress 2 it crashes to a blue screen and I get the error nv4_mini.sys and a wall of text. This is only one of the new PCs, the other one works flawlessly and has the same components.
Attempted fixes: Taking the advice of my internet friends, I switched the video cards, this did not work, the same one kept crashing and the other computer still worked fine. I took each stick of RAM out one at a time and this did nothing either.

A few days ago I logged into Pogo and got the msg saying I could not play because I did not have Java installed or setup right. I went thru the help that Pogo and Java web sites say to do and I do indeed have the most current version of Java as well as having the correct settings within the Java control panel.
The odd thing is that within the Java control panel, the entry for checking the default Java for browsers, the line for Microsoft Internet Explorer is greyed out.
The last time I went into Pogo I had no problems. I have not installed any new software and have only had the normal windows updates.

My 3 year old was playing "Purble Place" and accidentally opened several windows and had quite a few things up on the screen. We don't have an internet connection yet, so there isn't a risk of viruses, etc. But, ever since this happened only "Ink Ball" will open. The other games appear to still be on the computer (icons, info regarding them, etc) but nothing will open to play. Any tips on how to play these pre-installed games again?

I noticed that Microsoft exclusively releases certain titles only on Xbox. I don't have an Xbox or any next-gen console for that matter, just a large gaming laptop that really hauls ass for the games I play. That's all I want. So I can't play exclusive 360 games such as Dead Rising, Crackdown, or the recently released Halo 3: ODST. Does anyone know if there are there plans to port these games to Windows? Or at least Halo 3 or Halo 3: ODST? I have no idea how to ask Microsoft this, or even if that's possible, so I thought I'd post it here.

When I try to load full screen games my computer craps out and reboots. When Vista Ultimate x64 loads, it says my ATI graphics controller failed, but windows can not find a solution to this problem!
This has failed with CoD4 and the benchmark program that comes with the video card. I am running catalyst 8.8 because the others did not work for me either. When I install my drivers I uninstall ATI software through windows control panel, and reboot, then install new drivers and reboot again. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? I tried running CoD4 at different resolutions, 19xx x 16xx etc. I have a 24" monitor.

I cannot play some games. The only thing what was changed is my new LCD 24'' monitor. But I think, this is not a problem, because I tried to connect my old 19'' CRT monitor and these games are not playable. I tried reinstall catalyst, but nothing has changed

I am at my wits end, this all started 3 months ago, this machine was running like a champ for 6 months. I started crashing every 10 mins in Age of Conan, I also noticed that Crysis was crashing as well. The crash info from AOC seemed to point to a mem. issue so I replaced the 4 gigs memory with 8 gigs of kingston; no change still crashing; windows reinstall no change (tried latest and greatest video drivers). I even noticed I can't play Call of duty 2, crashed in 5 mins.
Thinking maybe it's the video card so I ran the furmark test and it ran fine for 10 mins or so, started to get close to 110 so I stop the test. I also ran the Atitool and it ran fine for some time as well, Ran another video test and it ran to the end. Now I ran the Intelburn test and it never got to 1 pass, it blue screen on me, what is that all about. So I am thinking maybe the CPU or motherboard, but how do I determine? I will try and find the window dumps files and post them when i get home. I tried running the memtest but it doesn't seem to like the 8gig thing will only do 2047 at a time.

I was looking to download Half Life (the first one) from Steam. However, both the requirements and the recommendations say either Windows 2000 or XP. I have all the other requirements, but I was wondering if I could still download and play this game when I only have Windows Vista.

I have encountered a new problem. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 1792 MB. I keep getting a problem with the screen when I play "trackmania" it's like some of the text and texture is blurry. Weird thing is I don't have any problems with other games like Fallout 3 or Call of duty 4-5 and so on. Those games I play with highest settings and no fuzz with the texture there. Here is a screen from trackmania, look at the blurry text and so on: ScreenShot92.jpg
I have been mixing around with the nvidia control panelt lately and tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked. My current setting is "let the program decide 3D settings"I run vista 64 bit and intel i7 950 with 6GB ram.

I hear you can choose to play games in either dx9 or dx10 when you right click on shortcut and select it from the menu. When i do this for instance i dont see the option available, once i saw with crysis launching analysis then it went away.
