did u post here after your dialup connect post?....3850 should have no issues with this game...btw..u can adjust setting in vpu recover as well.....but sounds like you have other issues. Please try to post more info of pc......ots of guys here would probably help if you provide a bit more info

run a test on your motherboard memory ...i had a very similar problem before with ati graphics card.....motherboard memory was beginning to fail and caused major probs...adding a fan is a good idea as well, especially if you can blow extra air across the vid card Your problem is really sounding familiar to me....btw...only 1 chip on 1 of my memory sticks was going bad...but caused same issue.....hope it helps

well...downloading and running a memory test is free. ......second part of answer..no. memory test should only take about 10 mins for basic scan if I read your specs correctly. if it passes the basic test on memtst86 free or microsofts memory tester....then memory is probably not the issue. Do you know motherboard manufacture....or is it a Dell or somesuch pc?

better thats its not a dell or some such.....check this for more info http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp if even 1 module of the memory doesn't pass....you are likely to start having issues with windows crashes and ie explorer crashes as well as other programs Also...try downloading and running cpuid here...might just tell you motherboard model http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Vista version wont work on your pc....all the programs I know of you have to be able to boot from floppy or cd....these type diagnostics have to be run before windows installsDo you have access to a pc that you can burn a cd rom or a floppy from?

no .....vista version won't work on you're XP opperating system as far as i know....but maybe you could burn a cd on her pc?....I haven't tried that before.....is her Vista 32 bit or 64 bit OS ?btw....that cpuid ....you just download and run it.....and it should tell you motherboard model and on memory tab should give you info on what's installed....a start at least

I may have missed it...what psu are u using? I think you need at least a 450 watt psu with at least 28 amp to run a 3850 reliably Edit...that card does run hot but....if you don't have good reliable psu....u will have issues. Edit...also from what you told me that is probabaly an ASRock mobo...I don't know if you have latest bios...and I haven't checked....but what memory you said you had installed sounds correct.... So IMO psu is likely cause of issue....when gaming....I would add a bit of ext…

hmm...if you have that as power supply, and no issues with memory....seems very odd that you have problems. I would contact graphic card manufacture asap ad work through their diagnostic. If you arent able to load latest graphics drivers...you may have a bad card....it's not unheard of....but you should act fast if its a new card so you dont miss chance to rma the card if needed
