Game crashes

[imported_lamer]

My system is working well but when I played far cry in full screen it crashed after a few minutes of play. Do you think this is due to the full screen? I have a new 6600gt card in there. I also have the stock 350 watt coolermaster psu... Could it be a power issue?

Could be PSU related, but also could be a slew of other things as well lol. Memory, drivers, etc... You get an error message?? A blue screen??

 

[JBDan]

Can you give some info on your system and the settings your using on FarCry?

 

[imported_lamer]

oh yeah I get a blue windows error screen...but I forgot what it said. What settings on FarCry should I look at?

Did your game crash or did your whole system crash?
If it was just your game crashing to windows i don't think it would be power related, because if the power supply was overloaded it would reboot the entire system, not just cause the game to crash to desktop.

blue screen with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"? if so, what video drivers are you using?

Yes, exactly! I don't know what video drivers are though but I get that not less or equal errror/blue screen

Check and see if there are any hardware conflicts with the video card and any other devices, and post the results. Also, you might want to try updating the video drivers from the nvidia website.

Just incase your not sure, you can find the conflicts in.... Start. Run. "msinfo32"....... Hardware Resources, Conflicts/Sharing. If the video card shares any conflicts with any hardware other than the AGP Host to PCI Bridge, then let us know what else.

Thats a video card driver error. Go get the latest 66.93 driver from Nvidia's website. B4 you download them DISABLE your antivirus software! Uninstall your present vid driver- reboot. Disable antivirus again (Norton and Mcafee usually start back up upon boot) and install the 66.93 drivers. Reboot you should be good to go.
