John O'Reilly Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 While playing CMBB/AK and all other games I am getting a mixture of computer lock up and crashes to desktop. My system specs are AMD 3000+ XP FX5900 1 gig RAM Until recently I was using Windows 98 and only 512MB RAM and had no problems. I wanted to use more RAM and so upgraded to XP and the frequent crashes have started since. I only have crashes while playing games. I have the latest drivers for all hardware, my CPU temperature never rises above 62 degress (centigrade) and my power supply is adequate. The curious thing is that there seems to be no periodic behaviour in these crashes, sometimes they don't happen for hours and other times after just a few minutes play. Any advice would be appreciated, John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John O'Reilly Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Junk, I have auto-update switched off. I should note that I generally use "end it all" to terminate all non-vital background applications. I still get crashes though if I do not use end it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
