Prince of persia Sands of Time problems

[Sams choice]

Your first system must have had trouble reading the disc. Clean the disc or try a different drive to install the game, maybe use the disc drive from the second system and see if it installs right.

The second system could have one or more of several thing going wrong. First check your bios settings (mainly those pertaining to video), I'm guessing a simple setting might solve the problem here. It also could be your ram or power supply unit or heat but I'm guessing its a setting for your video card since it crashes at that certain point in the game. I'm guessing your video is set to do something (most likely in the bios) that the video card can't do but the game software attempts to make it do it anyway and freezes the system.
