View 10 Replies View RelatedMy computer (crashing and rebooting during gameplay) I'm wondering if it could be the card driver maybe not compatible with something? I have a Radeon 9550 graphics card and a ECS661fx-m motherboard my radeon driver is the catalyst 5.8 a long shot I know as all the driver's iv'e had installed made no differance. I tried the driver verifier and that just left a mess, as soon as I started it the comp went into reboot opened the desktop and then went into reboot over and over again(that was in safe mode) the only way to stop it was to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp I got so fed up with it that i'm waitng for my new motherboard a Abit a-17 guru 865pe in the hopes that might work if not its a new graphics card and it wont be a Radeon.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI ran a bunch of different spyware removal tools and now whe nI try to play swat-4 TSS I have the most terrible lag in the world. Played this game for a yr with NO problems. Lag problem started after I ran those programs. I am curious if the spyware removal proggies didn't take a file or two that I need for internet connection.I know there was somewhere in win 98 that I could check windows for missing corrupt window files and have them replaced and or repaired can you do that with XP and how do I get there ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedComputer has suddenly gotten real slow shutting down and upon start up. I can not readily see any changes. Ran Adaware and Spybot before running HiJack This. All were good. Need some new eyes on this one...Only changes to computer recently were the addition of the new BattleField 2 demo, which really seemed to slow the system down.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhenever I try to play music it doesnt play, it says low on memory, whenever I open any Microsoft Word program it gives me some error about a license, and whever I try to copy and paste anything, it doesnt let me. I have a few partitions on my hard drive and whenever I copy one file or a folder or anything, I cannot paste it anywhere. If I open Control Panel, the screen doesnt appear as usual, all the icons are on two columns on the lft side with a scroll bar next to them. If I try to open Add/Remove programs, it comes up all garbled. I was going to just reformat the whole computer but it will not boot from the cd rom drive now. And whenever the computer is booted in W2K and I try to browse the CD in My Computer, it just says "Please insert disk in drive...." Also, whenevr I restart, it sits on my desktop for about 5 minutes before it finally brings up the icons and everything. It has never done any of this, it just started this morning.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been racking my brain on this issue for months with no success. So I have a AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor running on a Gigabyte mobo (I can get the model no. if needed) and a BFG GeForce 5500 AGP card. I have 2 Crucial DDR-333 512M sticks and a WD 80GB SATA drive.Now when I run Windows and basic apps(IE, Outlook, Firefox, etc) But when I run a few games like World of Warcraft, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth, etc. Occasionally it will just hang the PC. No error, just looping sound and freeze frame.
Look at this log and see if they can find any reason why i have one program Delta Force Blackhawk Down online game will not play any more worked fine till 2 days ago than just wont boot up every thing else on comp works well i have un installled it and reinstalled it and same thing.
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy computer often hangs whenever I play games.After it hangs for 3 times, my monitor will go black and the yellow light will bleep and it will restart by itself.This annoys me very much as I play games a lot.I've checked for viruses,trojan,ad-aware,spyware etc.
I used Ad-aware,SpyBot,PC Doctor and all of it says I'm clean.
my game will not run, when ever i start to load it, it says that it was designed to run in 256 colours and closes itself.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had this problem for a couple of days. Every time I start a game like portal or team fortress 2 svchost.exe starts eating cpu. This goes on for a couple of minutes and suddenly svchost goes back to normal cpu usage.
I have 7 different svchost.exe processes in my task manager, 3 system, 2 local service and 2 network service.
I've downloaded process explorer and the svchost that takes all the cpu has the PID 1412, dunno if that info makes any difference but sounds important.
I've searched for svchost.exe to see if there are any more that could be possible viruses but i only found the one in /windows/system32/
I have no idea what could be causing this problem... Also, I apologize if there already is a solution for this in another topic. Didn't find any when I searched.
I downloaded some computer game files and now I am sorry and want to delete them but can't find the files that support them. The shortcut icons appear only on the fifth line of the Mozilla and I.E. browzer home pages. The address line shows the files at http://retrogamer.iwon.com/home.jhtml?tbdd=9197. The files do not appear under C: anywhere and the search function and Control Panel add/remove can't locate them either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt seems my pc is doing something new that it hasent done before. Right in the middle of games the system just reboots on its own and then i get a Disk Consistency check. I have no idea whats doing this since it wont even give me a error message. Does anyone know what too look for here? A friend said overheating might cause this but he knows i got a big cooling system, even has a hard drive cooling system and a high speed CPU cooling fan with a exterior intake fan

View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought it was this new game i installed, it would lag about every minute and a half, for about 10 seconds at a time. So i uninstalled the game. The only problem is now the computer seems to get bogged down much easier (running AIM and windows media player at the same time makes WMP songs slow), and enters 10 second "slow periods". This never used to happen.
View 7 Replies View RelatedEvery time i run a PC game my computer goes to the blue screen. It also does the EXACT same thing every once in awhile for java applets or large flash animations.It doesnt give any file name on the blue screen or any description of what is causing this. I dont know if there is some information you can get from those numbers.
