I know my ways about computers, I really just wanted to get a few more opinions before I took action.
I have an older machine, that's been updated a few times. So it's really able to handle most of the games programs I throw on it, at least it Use too.
The computer has this:
Amd Duron 1300
2x512 PC3200
MSI MOBO (Can't remeber model etc, if the question comes up we need it I'll dig it out)
256mb 5200 Aslyum Geforce
40gig 7200 rpm hdd
10gig hdd for lil more space
Windows Xp Home Ed
The problem is this:
When I load up WOW on the machine it'll play it fine, to the extent of the PC, it's really out of date compared to all my other computers.
It'll play it fine for a while, then the PC will just die, and restart. The screen will just go Black then turn.
Now this really obvious, it's a video problem ~
I've done this:
I've prim95 the ram, and the processor.
So they ran perfecty fine.
Now the video card is pretty old like 7 years old.
If I do get a new card for the machine I'm going to grab a 6800GT BFG, they are so cheap now I might as well.
I'm wondering if it's just drivers and so forth?
Any comments or thoughts are well appreciated.
