my brothers computer is quite old now but i cant get it stable.
specs are:
amd thunderbird 1.2gig
256 sdram pc133
ECS K7S5A motherboard
Sparkle GeForce3 Ti200
generic case, power supply, and cd drive
i know they arent the best but he went he plays city of heros or call of duty, it crashes. now they are the only games he plays so no need to worry about doom3 or HL2. to fix it ive updated the graphics card and the agp (was on ecs website) drivers but this hasnt worked. Its not a temperature problem cos the cpu temp doesnt go above 54 ( i know its high on on stock cooling thats about right).
Im plain out of ideas now. only thing i can think of is a bios flash but even then i dont know if it will help.
Any suggestions are very very welcome.
oh, also hes very laggy in them games so should wat should i get him to cheaply upgrade? would a stick of 512ddr 400 make a big difference? (the board can have both sd or ddr) even if it was cheapy stuff,
thanks alot
