My games keep freezing keep getting told to install new driver for monitor or update video bios trying monitor first but cant find disk so need download its relisys te988 monitor

remove windows 7 and install xp, and try.

Have you tried to reset / update your PS3? Try installing the game to your HDD, as well

if your bios is freezing, you need a new computer.

check the wattage rating for you card  and the output rating for you power supply should be about 20% higher that the card

the freezing issue could stem from these problems:

corrpupt/bad software on HardDrive for operating system

bad drivers for the unit

motherboard overheating

lets start off with a few things. first tap f8 select safe mode. see if you get the freezing up issue then.
if you dont, then its a driver related issue:

for driver related issues, go to HP.com and download any available updates to your software (bluetooth,wireless,video card, and so on) including the bios flash update. you will more than likely have to get these updates by booting into f8 selecting safemode with networking to get access to the internet.

If the machine freezes up still , then its either a corrupt O.S./bad hard drive or overheating issue with motherboard.

to determine the issue reboot the machine after it freezes, go f8 for safe mode boot w/networking and do this:

go to hp.com and download all the updates for the driver software and bios (bios is very important) there have been some updates to these areas for issue related to motherboard problems. after you install all the updates select to not Restart computer yet (which it will ask after video driver updates and so on) now go to my computer, right click it, select properties and in the tools tab select the disk check option. from there check both boxes and then restart machine.

what this will do is check the disk for errors and bad clusters, and load the correct new/updated drivers, when its done it will restart and by then have moved bad areas to new places. if it freezes up during this process the drive may have hit a snag and you need to replace the hard drive.

if you continue to get this problem after all this, i suggest seeking professional assistance for motherboard overheating issues. i have fixed those problems by applying new thermal paste to the heatsink fan assembly and adding it to the GPU chip also. but in some cases i had to reball/reflow the GPU chip, which runs 80-140 depending on where you go. ebay has a few good vendors that do this.

Good Luck! I know its alot, but that should eliminate the majority of issues

what motherboard you have? how much ddr memory installed ? First look how much memory you have insatalled !? minimum for newest games is 1 GB ddr of ram ... update dx ..from microsoft .com. then try to download psyx drivers some games needs this driver to play

I think you had a bad flash!

So re-download a new bios file from there web site and try again, with these instructions....

Updating the BIOS
You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the
manufacturer’s Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improvements
in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as follows:

1 If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to
allow BIOS flashing.

2 If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced
BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents
BIOS from being overwritten.)

3 Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for
information on creating a bootable system disk.)

4 Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer’s
Web site. Copy these files to the system diskette you created in Step 3.

5 Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer’s
diskette drive. (You might need to run the Setup Utility and change the
boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to
force your computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)

6 At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and the file name
of the new bios and then press <Enter>. Example: AMINF340.EXE
040706.ROM

7 When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the
diskette drive and restart your computer. If your motherboard has a
Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS
from being overwritten. The computer will restart automatically.

Hope This helps

Have a nice day!

I rang sony and they sorted me out with a new playstation at no extra cost

I would see if there is an updated driver for your video card; check the driver version and date on the Acer Support Website. And there is a possible glitch in the game and there might be a update for it as well. Here are a few patches I found for the Sims 2 game...

See lets isolate the fault...As u have checked the monitor cable is fine,the monitor is fine and the video card is also fine..I believe you have tried these 3 components on another pc and it has worked fine..Rit? Now the last thing is first download the latest BIOS update (Find the current BIOS version number,Press F1 when Pc starts,on Main menu u can find BIOS number ; From ur other PC,check the Internet for BIOS or ROM updates keeping in mind the BIOS version number u have noted down ;Download and install the BIOS updates to a CD ..copy the BIOS files to the hard disk, and then restart the computer with the CD still in the drive...That should work..2ndly,I would update my video card driver from the internet using my other computer in the same way..
