Right, so I finally got my new computer.. Installed steam, Day of Defeat and various other games. Ten to five minutes into games, or when pressing ready to begin play (after loading the map and such), I get a wonderful crash. I've installed both XP home edition, professional and vista home premium, and the problem persists throughout them all. Currently I'm using XP home edition 32bit.
"HL2.exe has stopped responding/working and will quit".
Sometimes it also freezes completely, forcing a reboot.
My specs:
# Corsair Powersupply 550W Bulk, black, ATX/EPS, 120mm fan, 4xSATA, SLI
# 1 Asus P5K, P35, Socket-775, DDR2, ATX, GbLAN, PCI-Ex16
# 1 Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz 1333Mhz Socket LGA775, 4MB, BOXED m/vifte
# 1 Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 4096MB CL5, Kit w/two matched CM2X2048-6400
# 1 Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
# 1 EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 512MB GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI-I, with CRYSIS
# 1 USB2 multikortleser 3.5" sort for CF I/II,SM,MMC/SD/microSD,MS,xD (bulk)
# 1 NEC DVD-brenner AD-7200S Black OEM SATA
# 1 Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional, 64MB, EAX® ADVANCED HD
I've tried both the newest nVidia drivers and the ones on the eVGA disk, to no avail. Chipset drivers are installed. Also installed vista twice, XP prof once, and xp home edition once, in the hopes that it was just some driver error. Also installed the brand new creative drivers for the soundcard
This is making me really sad, there's no point in using this PC if I can't even play on it. Then I could've just stuck to the old one on which games worked.
