notorious blue screen of death - rainbow 6 las vegas 2

Hi guys, having a small problem with the blue screen about 1 hour to 1hour and a half into playing r6v2.

Everything else is working absolutely perfectly. I can play other games like crysis and hellgate london for hours without crashing so it's specific to rainbow 6. Also i know it's not the CD or installation because it works fine on my other two computers. I'm running windows XP 32 bit on the x80r (m570RU) with T7700 processor and 8800M GTX, 2gb ram.

A few days ago i noticed there was a driver in my device manage with a yellow '?' next to it, so i asked in here and found it was the infrared driver, i don't use infrared so it's useless to me. I tried to install the driver off the CD anyway. It installed fine and then after the computer restart nothing changed. The CD leaves the infrared red driver un-shaded, and the yellow question mark remains. I simply disabled the device to make life easier, could this be the problem?

I downloaded the most recent chipset driver from clevo today to see if that was the problem but it made no difference.

Thanks for any help/advice in advance,

Rich

 

Did you un-install the driver before you re-installed the driver? If not, the reinstallation may not have done anything.

 

well i hadn't installed the driver originally, missed it off the list. So i don't think that's the problem.

 

...and the chipset driver you just d/l'd?

 

Hi,

This is an Audio Driver, you need to re install the latest one and that will fix it as I had the same problems.

Cheers

Bob.
