Comp crashes to blue screen

[kevvlar]

I am currently playing Dark Age of Camelot. My comp has an Asus m8r-mvp socket 939 motherboard, an amd 3200+ cpu, radeon x1600 512mb vid card, and 2G of pc3200 ram. It started about a month ago. The first few times it was days between crashes. Now as the days go by it's happening much much more frequently, to the point that now when I log into the game it's a max of about 5 min before it crashes. I built this comp back in july and have had no other problems with it, and it ONLY does this when i load into my game. I would appreciate any help and suggestions.

Did you try patching it?

What are your temperatures at the time of the crash? Do you play any other heavy 3D games? (Assuming this is one of them)

Yes, i've done the most recent patch. It was approx 60ish degrees in my house last nite, and the comp has way too many fans to have been overheated . I have also done the option to do a complete file search to make sure that I wasn't missing anything. I can play City of Heroes/City of Villians just fine without any interruption, and that game seems to put a heavier burden on my video card than DAoC does. I was wondering if I may have just corrupted a file or something while I was searching online with the game running in the background (like if maybe uninstalling and reinstalling the game would help, just don't want to if I don't have/need to as it's alot to reinstall and update all the patches in the process).

I'd try reinstalling first.. There's really no point in putting too much time in trouble shooting games.

K, i'll try that over the weekend while i have the time
