What exactly does it take to run ofb without crashes?!?
DrBeast:
Tgdrysix (strains fingers whilst typing this): Well, I think NVidia has wisened up a bit regarding the 7xxx series and power demand (and thus, heat exhaustion), and AMDs are quite energy-saving, so I'd say your PSU is adequate.
ETA: To make sure it's a TS2 - graphics drivers clash and not a generic (read: hardware) problem, try running another graphics-demanding game. It you get freezes and reboots again, it's probably a hardware problem. If not, good luck hunting down a set of drivers that work! :)

Sigh. Well, I tired everything the link above said, and I tried every graphics driver on the nvidia page. The only driver my computer will install is the 84.21, everything else produced an error. I guess I better get used to my game crashing constantly. I'll have to save every minute or so.

Or you could contact the actual tech support for your video card or your computer.

Ok the one other thing I can think of, and I'm not sure if it is an issue any more, but when I was looking for new ram some 8mths ago I almost bought some high density ram however after reading through the info on it, it stated that it was not suitable for Nvidia or Intel chipsets, that they both required low density ram. Maybe its worth checking out because when I did more checking it seemed the nforce drivers (with Nvidia) caused a crashing conflict when it was put under load with 3d but would opererate ok with normal 2d operation.

Laylei and Tgdrysix, as I posted earlier, I was having similar problems. Anyway, after I read this topic I read another topic on this site titled, Need some advice or Help...Please. Way down the page someone named Hegelian posted a link to a site that will completely remove your video drivers. Apparently, especially with Nvidia drivers, they are not completely removed using Add/Remove function on your computer. Here is the link he/she posted:
http://www.3dchipset.com/utilities/nvidia/driver_removal/index.php
Anyway, if you get the utility, make sure you read the readme file and do it just like it says. I was able to then load a 77.77 which after a few hours of testing has worked beautifully for me. Course, you may need a different, older or newer driver as you have different video cards than I do (I have the Nvidia GeForce 6600.)
I just thought that maybe the reason Laylei's computer refuses to accept an older version is due to the fact that there were still traces of the current version left on your computer after you just used the Add/Remove function.
I also wanted to ask anyone here who may know, how do I find out what kind of power supply unit is in my computer? I am not very knowledgable regarding computers and if it wasn't for others on this site, I wouldn't have been able to change my video drivers. Anyway, just in case I get the "Blue Screen of Death" or crashes again, I would like to be able to find out about the power supply unit but don't have a clue where to look.
