Crash to desktop

Just bought this, but It mostly crashes to desktop with no error message all the time, longest game Ive managed to play is 1 round!

Nvidia 8800gtx

Tried turing grf down and off dual core mode etc. Uptodate gfx drivers.

Anyone got any ideas?

Well windows own wireless configuration has a 'feature' that is fine for a work PC but crap for gaming. Every 30sec or so it will send a burst checking the wireless status etc etc. This causes a spike/lag with most games. The way round it is to install a third party wireless configuration (most wire...

If HW is using a wireless connection it did look like the 'Windows Zero Configuration' that might cause the problem.

Re: ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series [X191W] - Random Crashes

Other things that may cause the problem is lack of power to the GFX card ;) Did you self install? Upgrading the bios.... Find out what motherboard you have, when you boot the PC a makers name should appear like ASUS then hit the tab so you can see the boot screens and you should see the motherboard ...
