game and pc problems
Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2004 9:07 pmHi everyone,
Any Tekheads that are here, I need your help.
I have windows XP SP1
When I play "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault" or "MOHAA" my PC Crashes and comes up with the typical had to close; Send details Don't Send.
The thing is I have been playing this game for 2 years. And I made my new PC about 3 months ago; with this card that was originally running it.
My graphics card is an ATI Radeon Sapphire 9600 Atlantis
I upgraded to an ASUS 9600XT, it played MoHAA but after a while it came up with strange problems, and MoHAA was able to be played for a while then suddenly crash, and not only that but my whole system would turn off instantly, and my PC would restart.
I installed my old card (Atlantis), because I believe my Mobo - a PCCHIPS one that probably isn't good enough for the Card, may have been the problem.
I re-installed Mohaa, and back to square one, because now the game doesn't allow me to load any map. Just crashes to desktop.
I have tried reinstalling all my Graphics card drivers.
I have reset my CMOS settings on the mobo.
I have re-done the Mobo settings to suit the card.
I have reinstalled MoHAA and made sure it was configured for the card.
I do not understand, Why my pc isn't working..
My specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2700+ @ 2.17GHz
512 MB of 400MHz DDR RAM
ATI Sapphire Atlantis 9600
80 GB Hard drive
Windows XP SP1
PCCHIPS Motherboard Socket A M848A(V2.1)
I know its a long shot for anybody to guess....
but somehow, someone might know something.
So advise me please!
Does anyone advise a complete Disk Formatting?
Thx, def
PS: to add to the record of random instant pc cut outs, i wasnt playing any games at all, and my pc turned off. something is wrong, please help.
