Here's the specs:

Athlon 64 3000+ (939)
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
(2)512 mb Kingston Value RAM PC 3200
WD 80 GB 7200 rpm 8mb cache
MSI GeForce 6600
Antec TrueBlue 350W

everything runs absolutely perfect except for these two things:

-sketchy powering up and shut down... when I go to power up everything turns on but the mobo doesn't actually boot up, I guess that's just because it's a new to the market chipset/motherboard... dunno really
this problem can be ignored.

- THIS ONE IS TERRIBLE, when I run my main application (America's Army) sometimes when I exit the game I get a "Critical Error" window and when I close that windows a blue screen quickly flashes and the computer reboots. Once its done rebootingI get one of those Win XP "Send Error Report" windows and when I do it says it's some kind of device driver problem "If you have recently installed any new hardware try and update the drivers" or something like that. I said sometimes when I quit but this happens EVERY time I minimize the game!! It's terrible if I wanna just go check MSN or run something else w/e. I need to fix this.

Well the first thing to try is the new Jan 2005 driver for my video card. I'm really a total noob to installing device drivers and other stuff like that, so can someone tell me where I should save this 2005 driver?

please help
 
didn't you just create a thread 10 minutes ago? why not bump it?
 
Go in to System Properties, and turn off the automatic restart after failure feature. You'll have a chance to see what driver, if any, are failing at that point.
 
Installing drivers - 99% of the time they come in an executable installer, run it.😛
 
oh ok, well i've got the new driver installed and i just rebooted, I'll see if that fixed it, if not i'll be back in about a minute

lol
