Hi everybody (it's been a while ...),
so I've been gaming a lot with my precious Acer and I'm happy with the overall performance of the machine - the one thing is bugging me though - one or two games (I'm sure about NFS: Carbon) make my computer crash totally. I mean a serious BSOD while booting them up. Whenever I click the NFS:Carbon icon on the desktop I instantly get the BSOD ... Oh yeah - and the other game that once caused the same thing is the Trackmania Nations (only one time though). The blue screen of death that I'm seeing for just a moment says something about the graphics card. I caught that a couple of times, that the last sentence says something about ATI X1400 Radeon. So I figured there might be something wrong with it. Of course it also could be the fault of the overheating processor, RAM memory, faulty motherboard .... you name it. I just thought that before running all crazy and whining about the overheating of the system, I might try some other video drivers.
What do you reccomend. Before I posted this I tried the latest Omega drivers ... and I remember there was something wrong with them as well ... yes - it was Pro Evolution Soccer 6 that wouldn't start at all after installing them.
What drivers do you guys use with your Acers? and what do you reccomend I try?
PS. right now I'm running on the drivers from Acers website. They run everything ... except the NFS and occasinally Trackmania.
Thank you in advance!
