Computer crashes on 3d games?

Hi,\n\nFirst, you have to check if your Direct X version is support by the game, most recent game need DirectX 9.0c which can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx\n\nIf you don't have the most recent version, go download and install it. Even if you have the recent version, you can try reinstall it if the game does not work. \n\nYou can also try to install the newest graphic card driver from your card manufacturer, in your case it is Intel [ http://www.intel.com ].\n\nLastly, you can run a diagnostic check on your graphic card and see if the 3D rendering is working, if it did not, it's time to get a new card.\n\nHope these solve your problems.\n\nBest regards,\nSiau

Make sure that your video card is compatible with the game.   Check on the website or under the readme in the CD/DVD.  Also, update the video card driver if necessary, because the most updated driver will guarantee the card support the gameplay.  Check if you have DirectX 9 installed in your Windows.  If all these are checked and done, it should be ok.

It sounds like your video card got jarred loose, or is bad.  Try reseating it, if that doesn't work, you may need a new one.\n\nBy the way, the computer itself comes on, right?

It could be as simple as bad drivers (audio, video or motherboard) or could be bad RAM as well, by my experience.  Is that a game that you're referring to?  I've assumed so.

not directly, only in case of simultaneous graphical output on the screen. onboard graphics accelerators (like Intel media accelerator 900 and 950) are pretty bad for gaming because they use the main memory and have no dedicated memory. this cost a lot of access time via the northbridge.

There is a problem with your RAM, motherboard, or video card.

i think maybe not all of the chipset is suppor that kind of acceleration. Or, if it's support, why don't you try to reinstall the driver of the Graphics Card?

This case may has hundreds of causes, therefore I am not sure what trouble you are facing.I have only a little trick that I found working in such cases  and want to tell you.\nOpen CPU and take off all PCI cards ( Such as LAN card or sound card or modem, if any ) take out RAMs from DIMM slot and finally take CMOS battery out of motherboard.Now connect them back one by one within  an intervale of 5 minutes.Now boot your computer again and see  if problem is solved.If it did not work you can try checking whether it's because a malfunctioning device.To do this take off a device and see if problem solved, if not, reconnect the device and see again by removing another device. For example first remove the modem and boot your computer, if problem still exist then reconnect modem and next try removing CD Rom or one of RAMs.\nAs I told you this case may has hundred of causes, if this all not help you, you need to check CMOS battery or hard disk first of all for thier consistency.\nFor the graphics problem right click on any empty area of you desktop and click properties > open " settings " tab and then click " advanced" . Another property tab should open, select " troubleshoot" tab. Here you find a silder labeled " Hardware acceleration "  or something like this.By deafault it's always set on " Full " .Move the slider to a lower position and I am sure it will fix graphics problem.

I almost entirely agree with the previous answer.\nThe only possible thing to watch out for is the next version of Windows, dubbed Windows Vista.\nThis OS is going to come packaged with a new drawing API that uses the capabilities of your 3D card.\nThe quality of what your OS displays is going to be correlated to the specs of your 3d card.\nNvidia keeps a list of GPUs expected to work to some extent with Vista. Obviously, the more recent chips are likely to yield better rendering quality.\n\nIf you don't feel the need to always run the latest software, you don't need to worry about it.\nOtherwise, you may want to plan for the future.

install drivers for your computer.\nsame happened to me yesterday all you have to do is install the drivers with the video card you're working with.

It has nothing to do with the CPU. 64bit chips are fully backwards compatiable.\nthe LAN PARTY boards are usually top of the line ones also.\n\nI would think 2 things: make sure ALL of your drivers are up-to-date (video, motherboard(it's a DFI), sound, etc).\n2. upgrade your RAM. If you don't have enough, you'll have to use your pagefile (that's on your Hard drive) and that slows it down a lot and if you're hard drive is being taxed too much, that could be the cause of the crash.

Hav u tried opening video files with other players? Like mayb winamp or real player?\nHow about when u try to run some computer game? Does the game run without any glitches?\nIf u experience any problem using these applications, u might want to troubleshoot ur graphics card. If this isnt xactly ur cup of cake then i suggest u take ur system back to whr u bought it from and ask them to repair or replace it for u.\nAs u said that it was new, u probably still are in the warranty period so u wont hav to pay anything.\nHope this helps

If you can see the monitor, then you know it is running. Any computer newer than 10 years should have 3d acceleration.

I also have a self-built system.  Generally if your problems occur after starting a game its going to be one of two problems.  Heat or Video Drivers.  Because you're having problems on all games and not just one or two in particular, I would guess that its a heat issue.  Generally an outdated driver won't affect all games in the same manner.  However, playing games are usually the most resource intensive applications and generate more heat on the CPU and GPU.  One way to test the heat issue is to open the case and find a big portable house fan and blow it directly on the computer and see if you can play for longer.  Also verify all the case fans are running properly and are installed properly.  Since you built the computer yourself verify that you have at least two intake fans in the front of the case pulling cool air in and two exhaust fans blowing out the back.

1.6P4 has no hyper threading.....from what you ask seems like you built an Atari. You cant play these games on an ATARI

The first thing you should do is to check whether you have disabled the onboard graphics card in BIOS and enabled this card. \n\nIf the problem still persists get a new graphics card or get the existing card repaired !!!!
