I guess the card is not just powerful or recent enough for your game. I mean, perhaps the game ask for stuff that the card doesn't have...

You might change your card or play minesweeper.

well i'd try getting the latest updates for both games and video card.. still the same, look at ur device manager and check if IRQ's to video card etc arent conflicting or test in another machine.

Yeh Probly dat ill check it out but its not a conflict but we see lol biggrin.gif

I think the 4000xt is kyro or kyro2 based card isnt it?? have u tried updating the drivers for it or maybe trying to get generic drivers from the kyro chip manufacturer. i have had the 4000xt and 4500xt and had no problems but i always used the latest drivers, they run generic drivers really well heres a link if it helps http://www.powervr.com/Downloads.asp hope this sorts the prob newwink.gif

try blowing a good sized fan at it while gaming, just to see if its a heat issue.
