bewildered · 01-14-06, 04:59 AM

im so stressed out. loaded evga 6600gt agp card in my dell 4600i yesterday and runs windows and 2d games perfectly. but everytime i try to play counter-strike source, it dumps physical memory and makes me reboot. any ideas on what could be causing this?

If you post (zip+attach) the dump maybe someone could check it out and give you an accurate reason as to why it's rebooting on you.
Myself, I don't know which end is up on those files.

A couple ideas though...
1) Power supply. What's the wattage and the rating on the +12v rail?
2) Drivers (both motherboard and video drivers). Make sure you have the latest of both.
3) Heat. But that usually just gives you artifacts and/or causes the card to downclock.

What version of Windows are you running?

Yes really need to know what you are running in your computer,ever time I have a problem where it runs fine in windows and does'nt in 3D apps,it is usally a sign that your power suppy is not giveing it enough power,
