    Hello!
    I recently bought an Acer Aspire 5002WLMI, and whenever I try to open any program that is graphically challenging (Such as Warcraft III, etc.) Ever so often (more often then not right now) The computer will send me to a blue screen, dumb all my memory to disk, saying that the file SiSGRV.DLL has caused an invalid page fault, and if i continue to see this error I should turn of BIOS memory options such as cacheing and shadowing. These games used to work with no problem until recently in which this occurs more and more often, to the point that I cannot open the software. I have tryed reinstalling the software and updating the drivers, in which the latter had corrected the problem for about a week's time until again I cannot open the programs without crashing.

    I have no idea how to turn off Bios memory options and what that means for my computer, is this something I should be doing? I wanted to post to see if anyone else had this problem and if they know how to correct it, or anyone else at all that has any suggestions.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Specs:
    Processor: AMD Turion 64ML - 30 processor (1 MB l2 cache, 1.6 GHz)
    Video Card : SiS M760GX
    Ram : 1 GB DDR

    Did you try downgrading your drivers or the Omega drivers?

    The problem is the SiS graphics - you're not going to be playing anything 3D with that card.

    Omega drivers won't work because that's not an Nvidia or ATi card....
