Hi All

Not sure what the problem is so I have posted here in the general section,

I am having a problem where games are causing my PC to CTD now I think this is releated to the drivers for the video card though am after some advice, an example of this is with Armed Assault game starts up ok but after 1 to 10 mins CTD - Company Of Heroes - I was playing this last night and after 30 Mins again same problem CTD. Now the drivers listed on NVidia web site are Beta 1.00.65 I think are the drivers I am using.

Counter Strike seems to work ok with any problems

Full spec of my pc is below any ideas thanks again

I uninstalled the drivers and then re-installed them but still have the problem.

have a look in control panel/administrative tools/eventviewer at the time of incident to see what that says
 
ok thanks for that I have the following

last 7 days 443 errors - Dam

in the last hour I have 11 errors so I take it this must be from turning on the pc

IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 24, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

All the 11 errors were listed to this 2 functions - any ideas now please

looking through the history most of the errors are listed to the ACPI - 266 in the last 7 days if we can sort this out first then I will look at the others
