    hi,

    posted a wile ago about my games often crashing and the problem still percists. Ive tried useing different drivers and this still doesnt help. The problem is when i first play a game it runs fine for 2 mins or so then will crash and say display stopped responding but then sorts itself out after a min or 2 then normal will run fine for the rest of the day. This leads me to belive maybe something else on my system is causeing these crashes. How can i veiw the error log maybe that might help. currently i am running vista sp1 on a xps m1530.

    Sounds like an heat issue to me, does this happen in non 3d applications?

    Sorry didn't read your post all the way, I agree does not sound like a heat issue.

    Not sure what is going on.
