Computer Crashing

[Phippsp]

First off I want to thank anyone in advance who can help me resolve my crashing issues on this computer, and I do not mind providing further details. I am desperate to get this fixed and am on a limited budget Sad

Specs Intel Pentium 4 3.0gig
ECS 915p-a
1Gig of Ram
Windows XP Professional
128MB graphics Card

Well basically I am running this computer to surf the internet and play video games. The game I run on this computer is Asherons Call which is not a very high performance game. It crashes randomly, It might not crash today but then tomorrow it will crash 5+ times. When it crashes the fans in the computer keep working along with the LED lights on the fans, but the computer stops sending a signal to the monitor and the computer stops working , but just has the fans going. I have witnessed in game on a secondary computer that when this computer crashes it stops responding in game.


I tried to keep the description short and simple. Could there be some kind of settings on virtual memory or something that could help resolve this ? It is almost like the computer gets tired and gives up.


Thanks

XP and now Vista has an automatic reboot feature found enabled or disabled in the system registry itself. When the value there is set to "1" the system is supposed to reboot when an application even game hangs on you. The registry value for this along with the enablecrash dump is seen here in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SYSTEM>current control set>crash control"



You can also change the size of the page file and memory dump files including the disable of the creation of page files. Page files are used for virtual memory. But your problem is far more software then Windows related. You may have to remove and reinstall the game itself due to something in the game like a driver being corrupted.
