    Hello to everyone
    I encountered crashes (black screen) on games(oblivion)with one gateway fx 173 system(4gb ram,2,2ghz core2 duo,8800gts,7200rpm hdd,AND A TROUBLEMAKER VISTA 64 ULTIMATE.
    So the problem is -the laptop stop completely-Black screen no image and sound and not respond to nothing only stop by long press on start button
    Is a problem of compatibility or what? Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

    Try to tweak down your game setting and resolution.

    Dood. This is the second post I've seen(so far)where your "recommendation" is totally incorrect and bordering on humorous. Please just stop.

    OP. It's kind of hard to make out the exact problem youre having. Ill try to help, but please be more specific. Are you saying that while gaming the machine just freezes with a black screen?
