Newer games don't work...
Hey guys, hope someone can fix my problem. I got a new pc (AMD Athlon xp-m 2800+ (overclocked to XP3600+) with a Radeon 9700 (overclocked to 9700 pro), 1024 MB RAM using WinXP pro SP1 and Direct X 9.0c. So far, so good, but since I got my Radeon, every "newer" game like D**M3 or "Halo" cannot be played
 They start, but afetr a short while, I got told "Program xyz caused a problem and must be closed." (Sorry, I'm german and in german language it maybe sounds a little differently). Then the os wants to send a failure-report to Microsoft. But how the heck could they help me? I've the newest Windows-XP, some kind of good CPU, enough memory, a more or less actual grafics-card (with newest drivers installed), but those games simply don't want to work. What can I do?Thanks in advance, Darkhound

1. Install ServicePack2 !!!
2. Try it WITHOUT overclocking your CPU & GraphicCard !!!

Overclocking is not good, don't do it. Also, this is NOT a general PC/game support forum, so don't ask such questions here!

I used to play Doom3 and all other newer type games on a 9700 Pro, without any problems, until i updated to a newer card. I would take GLH's and Joe's advice and NOT overclock. Also, could it be a graphics driver problem? Maybe the latest is not the greatest! Try a few different ones.

LOL an XP-mobile CPU? in a desktop?
Errrrr ok perhaps thats where you went wrong :P And also perhaps you havent installed your GFX drivers, and yes dont overclock you probably burning the processor out being OC'd too high.
