PC crashes while playing game

[Stephanatic]

hi,

Whenever I start playing need for speed underground my pc crashes.
The PC screen immediately goes black, then the PC reboots.The PC screen freezes (the mouse pointer is stuck) and I can only hard reset it after having waited several minutes and nothing changed.

This problem already cost me about a week of valuable development time, and if possible, I don't want to do a complete reinstall to get need
for speed underground working again...

Hi,

Often the problem can be cured by uninstalling the need for speed undergroundand then reinstalling it. Use Norton Uninstall or Uninstall Shield to remove an application from your system properly. This will also remove references to the programme in the System Registry and leaves the way clear for a completely fresh copy.

Hi,

Sometimes Windows crashes is due to hardware conflict.If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen.The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.
