SPARKLE Computer GeForce 6600GT, (128 MB) AGP Graphic Card Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 06, 2010

Have a GeForce 6600 Graphics card in my computer but when i play games, the computer crashes. Anything i can do to stop this from happening? The only game I am playing is World of warcraft and that is pretty much a basic Java scrip game. So what could be the problem of why my computer keeps crashing?

    Well here, ill do this and explain this out the best I can. The computer has been shutting straight off in the middle of just playing WoW. or Oblivion. or any game that I install. I tried tweeking with the graphics settings and the same thing keeps happening. Though on a regular shut down. my power light goes off. when it shuts down on the middle of a game and i mean just shut right off. the light stays on and i have to hold the power button down to turn it of and back on again. The mother board is not great. but ill explain what I have in this computer.

    One gig of RAM
    640 GIGs of memorie of hard drive
    a 6600 Nvidia graphics card
    and 2 Intel Pentium D CPU 2.66GHz.
    Windows 7 Ultimate *not RC Version*

    The mother board can only hold 2 gigs saddly. and the grahpics card i still need to know the limits on the mother board before i decide to replace it. So right now i am trying to get it to work with what it has. and everything is compatible with it.

You should always update the graphics card driver first.

If that doesn't help, does it crash to the desktop, or does it crash and shuts your computer down?

If it crashes to the desktop, then your system might not meet the system requirements of the game.
If it shuts your computer down, then you might not have enough power, some hardwares are not compatible, or that the speed of some components are too high and unstable (unstable overclocking).

However, it's just possible that the game isn't working the way it should and just needs a reinstallation.

PNY GeForce GT440 crashes every time I play a video game.

Hello try to renew the graphic driver from here:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

By selecting the model, and your windows system.

You can also use the auto find function.

By installing a small bit of software.

Maybe your power supply is too small for gaming performance
consider to upgrade that, if the driver update does not work.
I suggest a 500 watt PSU, so the graphic does not runs out of power.

Good luck

Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 / 256MB... Problem

Hi jhacy, I went over all you're posted questions conserning this issue with the FX5500 video card. Please include the manufacture name of you're motherboard & its model number. It is possible the video card is bad (Even if it's new). There are settings in the motherboard bios that me need to be shut off if the motherboard has an integreated video card onboard. It's possible that the AGP slot on you're board is dirty & needs to be cleaned. Please list the name or name's of the games you have tried to run but freeze you're computer or crash you're system.
I will automatically recieve an email from fixya when you post the information I have asked for above. Untill than, take care!
