Help!!! TNT2 Ultra32 crashes in DX games
This is a repost, as it seems to have been overlooked the first time and had
no replies. Can someone please help? I am experiencing some nasty machine crashes during DirectX game play. Playing 'Rise of Nations demo' , all may go well for an hour or more, then suddenly the black screen of death and the machine restarts. Playing 'Empire Earth', I get all the way through to the tutorial START button, but when I press it, nothing happens. Then when I press another key, the machine restarts. Sometimes there are desktop problems on restart, like icons taking several minutes to reappear. Dxdiag shows no issues. I am using Dx9.0a at this stage (installed from the SDK redist). The PC is a Packard Bell PIII-650 with 128 MB RAM, nVidia TNT2 Ultra 32MB graphics card running latest Detonator drivers, Yamaha Xwave sound card, PCI LAN card, 3.5 GB free disk space, VM set at 324 MB min/max. Not sure if any other hardware info is relevant. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Tony |
