Hey Bill, thanks for taking the time to post the info. I was wondering if you could try and help me with my situation. I have been playing CoV for a few months now with minimal graphics problems and then a few days ago my game started crashing. It happens generally after maybe 5-10 minutes in game. Usually, the game freezes and after a few seconds my monitor switches itself into standby mode requiring a reboot. Occaisionally I will get some wierd coloring and some artifacting prior to the crash. At the extreme times the screen becomes filled with multicoloured squares all of the same size and spaced equally apart. Sorry for the long post but I am just trying to give as much info as possible to try and get some help.
At first I had all of my settings basically to default. Running at 1280x1024 with a refresh of 75 on a 19"CRT. I've tried setting everything as you've described and played around with various settings and what not but nothing seems to make a difference.
The Set up:
P4 2.4 GHZ, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon X800XL
I have just updated to the Catalyst 6.5 but that also made no difference. The part I don't understand is how it would suddenly start crashing without having any changes made to any hardware or settings. I also can't think of any programs that have been installed recently, no matter how unrelated they may seem. I simply haven't changed a thing. Sooo... any idea for me?
