Strange, my Desktop system has been doing that alot lately in Windows :/ (GeForce 3)

Try the 6200 Drivers.

I played Warcraft 3 a lot on my desktop with its old card and had problems with choppiness, lol, but that was the extent of it luckily. Let us know if you do new drivers and how it works out.... Good luck!

I installed the new drivers from sagernotebooks.com and it didn't crash again last night. But I will post if it does in the next little while.

I am seriously waiting in suspense and in hope that it doesn't... I will definitely get those new drivers and give them a try along with the ones Nightshade uses and I'll see how they fare on the 8886. Good luck prophecy!

Yeah, I read that on the other thread... I doubt if a fresh install fixed it, but if it did, that would be sweet.

Prop: Could still be fixed as one of the driver files may have got currupted and be causing adverse efects in your games.

Yeah, that's what I meant by a fresh install... Play it and see if it happens again. I hope it doesn't! Good luck and let us know!

I have an alienware laptop with a Radeon 7500. Two things happen, first after about three or four minutes games that are graphics intensive (just about all of them) slow down to about 1/10 the speed, and stay that way. Generals to Red Alert to CS. My 300Mhz Celeron runs them better. Secondly I get the same blue screen of death, with the infinate loop/ati2dvag error. Both Alienware and ATI customer support suck my balls. Alienware just wants to give me drivers (they have a special one for BF1942) but they don't fix the problem just decrease its frequency, so it only happens about once out of 5 times I play, instead of EVERY time. ATI does nothing but send automated responses, that don't answer my questions. If a 3.06 Ghz/1024DDR laptop can't run Red Alert 2 or Counterstrike, but a 300Mhz Celeron Desktop can, the world is one ****ed up place.

Oh, yeah and I've left everything as the factory set it, no overclocking or anything, and it always sits on a table when playing. So if the bugger overheated I have no clue why.

If anyone cares, i had this exact same problem... an had talked to sager support an they asked me to send in my laptop to get the video card replaced. So hopefully they fix it. However recently i think people have fixed this by cleaning out there air vents on their laptop by vacumming out all the dust that has accumulated in there.... do that real good and see if it helps.

A third reason i have seen is a bad memory stick or slot.... you can try taking out one memory stick if you have two... and/or swapping memory slots.

Give all those a try, and one of them should work.... if not send it back to sager/alienware like i did.
