Curse

Most aspects of the game work fine, but when ever I try and move or equip an item in my inventory, the computer just blinks out and restarts. It sometimes happens randomly aswell.
I don't think it's a problem with my power because it wouldnt happen at certain times, like if i try and equip something.

Here is my System Infomation:

Included everything in there 'but' your Graphics/Video card information, what is it?

If you go into;

Start
->
Run
->
dxdiag
->
OK
-> Display

It should tell you.

[EDIT]
Also your Driver Version would be helpful too.
Although this may not be the reason, just a suggestion of information that may be needed.

I bet you have an Intel graphics card, I feel your pain.
If it is an intel, try an older driver.

I had a similar problem when playing WC3. Managed to start up fine, even managed to load WC3 fine soetimes. But when i got into a game it would just power down. The problem? Dust. try taking off the shell and blowing the dust out. I left my computer in the yard with a desktop fan blowing over it for about 2-3 mins. Then use a pasty brush (Yup, from the kitchen) to brush out the sticky dust. Leave the fan going during the brushing and for a couple mins afterwards. See if that helps. It helped my computer no end. No more random shut downs.

Ok, there's my display infomation.
Thanks for the tips so far. What do you mean by an older driver, like DirectX 8?

I actually had this issue on a laptop I have- look on intels site they recommend an older driver for guildwars.. install it and the problem is gone- only thing is the older driver seemed to mess with the brightness

Mutey · Dec 29, 2005, 02:29 PM // 14:29

Ok thanks i'll try that.

Brilliant! It's working!
Thanks so much guys, I could kiss you!

I would have posted back sooner to say it worked but I got too drawn into the game.

Thanks again!
