infinite loop, LOTR, 6200 card

[pjo123]

Hi all

Got a strange problem when playing Lord Of the Rings Battle for middle earth. It can play online for ages, then when certain things happen during the game, such as Gandalf using a spell, the computer hangs, then reboots.

Looking in the event log, I'm getting:

The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop.

Have tried a few of the latest Nvidia drivers, currently on 81.98, memory is fine, have tried with each stick in etc.

Any ideas please?

It's a pretty old machine,
AMD 1800+
1GB RAM
256MB 6200
c-media built in sound

Seems to work fine with all other things run on PC such as Everquest 2.

LOTR patch 2 installed.

Full event log message below.

thanks

Phil
