Hello Peeki.
I\'m afraid I can only give you some general hints :
- you can try s/w rendering, to see if the problem is related to your geForce.
- check nVidia for latest driver release (typical tech. support answer, I know ;-). Use v43.45, as it finally solves the refresh rate problem of previous versions. Plus, it has a nice gamma slider to help you find your way in dark dungeons ! If you have another driver version, un-install it before upgrading, it takes more time but it avoids mixing different library versions.
- be sure to have enough virtual memory. I would advise you to choose a custom, FIXED value to avoid disk fragmentation : for instance, force a 2 GB value on a FAT32 partition.
- DON\'T overclock. But since it sometimes crashes before loading the GPU, it should not be the problem. Try lower resolutions. Don\'t tune your GPU, it should be fast enough !
- with Athlons, some chipsets are unstable, do you have problems with other GPU-intensive games ? If so, try perhaps not to use AGP 8x or 4x (don\'t know what you have for a MB). Try AGP 2x to see if it\'s more stable, you won\'t notice much difference in current games anyway. Check MB manufacturer for BIOS \"upgrades\" - (read : patches).
- try Linux
Hope it helps, good luck !
