Random Crashing

[Gudyvousakooky]

I've had DC for 3 Months and whenever i play skirmish or campaign it plays sometimes for 45 minutes or sometimes 10 minutes and then crashes to desktop with da error message
i solved the 10 minute one because i found one of my RAM sticks was screwed but is still crashing after 45 minutes. i disabled the soundcard (onboard) and it still crashes but not as frequently but i can only get 2 or 3 surefire games out of it

Updated latest graphics drivers and cooling system is very efficient

Firewarrior, Far Cry, Bf2, SWBF2 and Original DOW does not crash

Warcraft 3 and BFME crashes constantly

i've tried everything even reinstalling DC and Windows and it still doesn't work

P.S sorry that this is similar to a thread i posted earlier but i need help bad

Your dxdiag says you are still running Nvidia 84.21 driver which is rather old. Current version is 93.71.

Cant really help you with the warnings logs etc, as I dont know enough about them.

One of your ram sticks was 'screwed?' please clarify that. You're running 512 megs of system ram which is the bare minimum really. You aren't actually getting 512 megs of ram when running the game, as you're running the game through the XP shell, which eats up part of that memory. You're basically getting about 300-350 megs at best to swap the game. Technically it should run fine with this amount of memory but more ram helps to fix a lot of problems.

Download and run memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.org) to test the stability of your current remaining RAM.
Is your system overheating - check this using your motherboard's monitoring software that should have come on a disk with your system/motherboard.

More RAM as stated above is always a positive step, and these days is fairly reasonably priced in low amounts.

Fanks but i decided to format everything( getting rid of the clunky 40 gb Hardrive)
i havent tested DC yet but i'll repost if something screws up
RAM is fine and overheating is unlikely ( i got a new perforated case with fans everywhere)
i upped the NVDIA driver to 9....something

FAnks alot everyone (^_^)
