Help Game keeps crashing weird situation

I currently play Starcraft. The only time it would crash is while i'm in the middle of a game. It gives me the windows error message that gives you the option to send the message to windows or dont send. I updated my geforce video card to the newest version that is offered by nvidia website. I currently do not have a soundcard and recently reformatted the computer. I've actually tried to reinstall/install the game and checked if i had any viruses on my computer which i dont. I dont know what the problem is. i have a 128MB stick of ram also. Thank you for you assistance

Re: Help Game keeps crashing weird situation

What is the exact error message?

What is the Operating System?

Operating System is Windows XP. The error message just gives the error accurance and if you look at the exact error it gives you many .DLL files that might of caused it

Re: Help Game keeps crashing weird situation

Sorry if I misunderstood but are you running XP with only 128MB RAM? 256MB is a minimum.

As to the errors we really need all that data in order to trace it.

You can change this setting to freeze the screen:

rt. click My Computer then click Properties then Advanced then Startup and Recovery Settings then unclick Automatically restart

You can also check the Event Viewer to see if it was recorded: Start/Run/ eventvwr

Open both System and Application tabs looking for errors that coincide with a crash. The errors are time stamped.

When you say crash this brings up a Blue Screen? Is this correct? We are looking for something like this: 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
followed by all the parameters and or .dll's.

If an error occurs the windows box pop up says an error has occured should we send this windows you you only have two options send or dont send. some of the .dll files that show up that the error occureed are ntdll.dll kernel32.dll storm.dll crtdll.dll advapi32.dll rpcrt4.dll comdlg.32.dll shlwapi.dll gdi32.dll user.dll msvert.dll comctl32.dll shell32.dll version.dll imm.32.dll lpr.dll usp10.dll comct132.dll local.dll tixtheme.dllmsctfime.ime dlc32.dll ddraw.dll dciman32.dll winmm.dll wintrust.dll crypt32.dll kuser.dll these are some .dll files that showed up when i looked at the "look up report"

Re: Help Game keeps crashing weird situation

I don't have any messenger programs ... sorry ... I am monitoring this site as regularly as possible.

My first question about your hardware is your RAM. If you only have 128 MB that could be the entire problem.
