I have GA-GF1280(geforce2 Mx chip from gigabyte) with 32 MB SDR RAM , i am using the latest manufacturer's drivers , and i am facing the same problem with these games , the computer hangs up during gameplay (after 20-60 seconds) , the mouse stops , everything stops , nothing works but reset button , turning off the "adjust Z-buffer depth to render depth if unequal" delays the hangup to a period of 10-20 minutes , but it still hangs !!! what do u suggest ?<br>
Try this:<br> <br> 1.Try a better fan. <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <br> 2.Does it get enough power.<br> 3.Is it overclocked <IMG SRC="smileys/suspect.gif"> <br> 4.Is your anti viruus program of when you play.<br> 5. Do you have the latest drivers (nvidias).<br> 6.Is the agp aparture size half of your ram.<br> 7. Is the videcard broken. <IMG SRC="smileys/frown.gif"> <br> 8.Is the motherbord broken. <IMG SRC="smileys/frown.gif"> <br> 9. Do your card need a agp 2x or 4 x agp port and do you have that.<br> 10. Try turning of autostart in msconfig.<br> 11. defrag.<br> 12. scandisk<br> 13. maybe it is windows, format "nuke" your harddrive.<br> 14. It maybe not is your graphic card, is it maybe your cpu.<br> 15. Does the cpu have a good fan or (something like that).<br> 16. call the support for the computer, cpu and graphiccard and ask i they know what you should do.<br> 17. Does the game have the latest patches.<br> 18. Try setting the color depth to 16 bit and se if it works.<br> 19. Is it only one game ? Then it is the game.<br> 20. Try changeing the video acceleration.<br> 21. Try differnt resoulotions.<br> 22. Buy a new computer. LOL. <IMG SRC="smileys/wink.gif"> <br> <br> <br> If nothing of this works i (even number 17 lol) i really don't know what to do
O sorry one thing is wrong in my answear it sould be if number 22 isnt working i dont know what to do.
Tell me more about number 6. Is the aperture sze half of your RAM? Should it be and why. What if it isn't? What does it do? I have seen this in BIOS but left it on 64mb. I have 256 RAM.<br> <br> Also I was running at 800 X 600 then changed it to a higher res but now it wont go back to 800 X 600. It does 600 X 480 but then goes straight to the one above 800 X 600 I think 780 X 1280. Any ideas?

The very first thing you should do is install the correct drivers for your mouse. Driver specific mice (like logitech) can cause lockups if you use generic Windows PS2 drivers <IMG SRC="smileys/cool.gif">
