Hello,

Before we can help, we need a little more info? ( i.e. operating system, type video card and what driver version? cpu, ram and so on.



I'll check back later
 
hrm...sounds very severe...it doesnt seem like a gfx card problem only...first thing I would try is to uninstall all sound and video drivers...as well as directX...

then reinstall all the above and see how the machine fares...it might be a heat related issue...as you play the game, the gfx card heats up and then craps out like u are seeing...is it OC'd at all? Beyond that i dont know what to think until you give us some more specs and system information.
 
I have just reformated with Windows XP Pro
Asus A7N8X-DELUXE
2500+ Barton @ 3200+ @ 45C
256 MB Crucial DDR3200 Ram
Radeon 8500 Drivers 6.14.10.6404
 
card is defective or overheating, either get new cooling for it and see if that helps, or RMA the card.
