Hello all,
I have an alienware media centre pc with XP SP2 and just of late I am not
able to play games on it as I was before. I haven't play any games on the pc
in over a week and in between this I had completed XP updates to which there
were 13. I update regularly BTW. Every time I insert the Game CD the
machine starts the game with the relevant main menu. Then after clicking on
play etc the PC gives me the blue screen of death (as I call it) and reboots.
First off, you need the STOP error code. You can either disable the
automatic reboots (by going into the System control panel, the
advanced tab, and startup recovery, or by using F8 during bootup), or
check the Event Viewer.
The parameters for the code might not be as helpful, but be sure to
note any device filenames that appear.
This action does not happen with any other software e.g Office runs
perfectly.
You might also want to see if lowering the hardware accelleration will
help.
