Problems playing games on my PC = Now have nothing at all ..

Hi Jimmy,

Yes, I am out of "sweat mode" now but still have the problem of the BSOD
when trying to run a game of any kind. Unfortunately, there is no error
report on the BSOD only the blank blue screen.

Upon reboot I get the KernelFaultCheck error as Windows has recovered from a
serious error.

Obviously I cannot rollback as then I go back into "sweat mode". But upon
thinking and going on advice from everyone - I looked up the website of the
manufacturer which is ATI as I have two ATI Radeon X300 cards on the MCE PC
and they have drivers which are listed as version 7.0 where the driver
version I updated to last was 8.xxx etc from MS updates. Also, ATI say that
you must uninstall your current drivers prior to installing the latest driver
from them. If I go ahead with this will I run into problems after the
uninstall and prior to the installation of the v7.0 driver.

Or someone suggested that it may be the DirectX and that it should have the
newest version. I currently have DirectX9.0c - I thnk thats the latest
version. What do I need to do to get this problem sorted ???

Hi Richie,

Before you update your drivers, I recommend that you update DirectX
from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx

Please look over the ATI articles about their latest driver on the download page.
They list Installation Tips, Fixes, and Release Notes with important information.
