S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR crashes my computer
Hello i am new i hope i am posting in the right place!. I am having problems with my S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR graphics card, the problem is when i try to play computer games like C&C Renegade after a while of playing the computer restarts and when i get back to my desktop it says that it has been recoverd from a serious error. I have XP and have all the necessery drivers for S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR and i have tried other games and they all do the same, any light on the this problem is great, thanks in advance

Turn off the "reboot on error" feature (My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Startup and recovery). This will let you see the error message causing the crash. Also look in the event viewer (Control panel->Admin tools) and see what happened just before the reboot. Why do you think its the graphics card for sure? Either way, try the above to determine the cause (what file, or whatever) and post back.

Thank you for the help. I thought it was the graphics card because when i send the error report it says that the error was made by S3 graphics card, sorry im not computer illiterate, but i can make a screen shot if that would help.

Screen shot couldn't hurt. Do what i said in the earlier post as well
![]() Is this a new card, or has it worked for a while? Does it crash in things other than games? What games do you play? |

It isnt a new one i have had it for quite awhile but only recently tried games, I did what you said earlier in the thread and now the error report says "A device driver installed on your system caused the problem, but we cannot determine the precise cause. "
i have all the requirements for the game (i checked on dx diag ) i hope this helps a little further, could it be that i have 2 OS's? anyway thanks for the time kezzy |

Try rolling back the drivers and then reinstalling the newest version from the manufacturer. Which OS's do you have, and which are you playing games with? Do you have separate drivers installed for each OS?
