Hi,
Im new here. I have only just joined this community, and was not quite sure where to put my thread, so General Chat, seemed the best place to start.

My Problem:
I am building my own PC. I have all of the neccessary parts and the like. I have installed windows XP Professional. Everything seemed to run fine. Audio and Video drivers are installed. The problem is, whenever I go to play a game, the current one being 'Star Wars Battlefront 2', it begins to load up a level, then crashes.This also happens when trying to play 'BattleField 2' and 'Doom 3'. I, at the time of writing I have tried almost everything I could think of, and am at the end of my tether. I have baisically given up. If anyone could PLEASE tell me a way to solve my problem, I would be so very grateful!

Firstly have you installed all the latest drivers?

Well, when you say all the latest drivers, for what hardware do you mean?
I have installed the latest drivers for my Nvidia graphics card, the sound drivers are up to date, everything I can think of is up to date.
Do you mean the Windows Updates? If so, that is kinda impossible for myself, as I have no internet access to the said PC.

Did you also install motherboard drivers , and directx 9.0c? (included in sp2 if you have that installed)

Yes, all the MotherBoard Drivers I have on the CD, are installed. DirectX 9.0c is installed...everything I can think of that should be installed, IS installed...if you guys can think of anything else that may have slipped my mind, feel free to inform me PLEASE

Hi MM,

What does your Windows XP event log tell you about the errors relating to the crashes?

Where do I find this 'Event Log'?
