Rebooting PC after 2mins

[drevyluk]

Hi,

I notice your video card is by ASUS.

Check and make sure you're using NVIDIA drivers (44.03 or later seem good), and NOT the drivers Asus provides or has for download.

I'd also try to identify what motherboard you're using. I noticed your Bios version is 1.0. Once you know what exact board it is, there's a fair chance there's some updates available for it.

Those are the main things that grabbed my attention right off.

Hey Kitty,

Yup indeedie. I noticed a post earlier on mentioning the fact that i'd be better off with the NVIDIA Detonator driver set and not the Asus ones.

That couldn't have been more right. The game runs beautifully now, not to mention a host of others I tested out as well.

You may call me Mr Happy

Thanks for the help peeps

Dr E.

Glad it worked out. Happy haunting... Mr. Happy
