Complete computer freeze on new game
GalCiv2 Forums
Hey folks,
A strange problem for some time with my computer freezing on new games. Typically the screen goes black and monitor goes off. Requires hard reset. I have an X800XL with the latest drivers. An error with ati2mtag does occur "CRT invalid display type" but ATI states that this will not cause crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my debug.err file:
