Games keep crashing


Faux

Recommended Posts

I haven't really played much on this computer. But when I play CS or FEAR Combat or WarRock, they crash a lot. For example, in CS, I can load up steam and get to a server and get in the game. But when I try to press '`' or 'b' it closes and brings me back to steam.

1 second, let me test to see is Steam runs in the backround or turns into Half-Life...

 

 

 

*Edit* D*nmit, they updated it! I am on 28.8kbps Dial-Up... These 1000 Hour-Long Downloads make me mad!

I hope that I'm not damned. I'm just a man, and killers,

What sort of crash? Silently exiting to desktop? Any error message? You say it brings you back to steam, does that mean the game's process terminates?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They differ. When I alt tab, it closes silently. When I'm playing and I click some buttons, it gives me a message. I'll try to get some screenshots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have they ever worked on this PC? It is a Laptop with media?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some games work fine. I finished Halo campaign with no problem.

If you have a wireless card try and find out where your local starbucks is. Or barnes and noble. (or give me zip code i'll give you info since you've got slow connection). They often have fast wireless free there.
