Fixed: Game reverts back to desktop, HELP!

Ntx710I · 06-23-2009

Hi all! I am new here and this is my problem.
Whenever I play a 3d game, after about 30 minutes, the game would automatically reverts back to desktop, and displays no error messages. Below is my computer specs.
Processor: Intel C2D E6750@2.66ghz
RAM: 4GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX260 896mb

Well I guess these are the relevant information.

I downloaded the new drivers and now I can play for more than 30 mins! I initially thought that I had download the latest drivers but the game was out after the drivers. So, I guess maybe the game did not support the old driver. Haha! Thanks very much!
