Nyarlathotep Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 First of all, try to lower ingame graphical settings to low and make sure shadows is off.Also, try to lower the refresh rate of your video card. It's currently set to 100Mhz, I would suggest to try "default" and increase from there if it works.Make sure your MSI drivers are up to date. I've seen a lockup problem which was solved by updating MSI drivers and BIOS (be careful when you decide to upgrade your BIOS). As you already stated, it worked with your Abit motherboard..Another thing you could try, is to put -s behind the games shortcut (it turns off sound)..
