xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 Well, usually I won't talk about Windows, because it is truly a crappy OS, IMHO. Well, here's my problem, whenever I load any games on a freshly installed version of Windows XP, or Windows 2000 SP4, I run the game for a while, then it randomly crashes! This is the 100th time!

xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 No error messages (that's why I hate Windows, it doesn't tell you about any error when it crashes), the crash type is hanging.These are the hypothesis:NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT has a memory problem (low, since it works properly in Linux)512 MB RAM has problems (yet low since it works perfectly in Linux)Driver problem (probably)xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 Most likely cause: driver issue.What chip set is on your motherboard? Intel, VIA, or nVid? If it's VIA, I can almost garuntee you what the issue is (VIA chipset on the motherboard). IF that is the case, only one solution: get a different motherboard.
