Ghost Recon AW crashes OS and F.E.A.R. fails upon load...help
I'm not sure where this problem is coming from. I have Winows XP Pro SP2 fully up to date and these games have the above symptoms for seemingly no reason at all...and the OS is a fresh install that I performed just this morning. F.E.A.R. has been failing to load for the longest time, and GRAW just starting rebooting my OS for no reason at all. I have the latest Direct X 9.0c (April), latest video and latest sound drivers. I even went as far as reinstalling the video and sound drivers to hope it'll alleviate the situation, but to no avail. I don't know what to do at this point. Here are my specs:
Windows XP Pro SP2 BFG GeForce 6800GT OC Sound Blaster Audigy ASUS K8V-X VIA 8237 AMD Sempron 64 3000+ 1.5GB DDR400 (PC3200) Any help on this? Thanks. Jam it back in, in the dark.  [ SCHWARZE-5 - Helger Collins ]

found the problem with F.E.A.R.--there was a conflict with Ace Mega Codecs Pack. I had it on Professional Mode, which installed EVERY code (135MB+). Thing with GRAW is that I can't even get to the options screen...I don't even see the first splash screen...it just crashes the OS. Frustrating...especially seeing this is a fresh install.
There's nowhere I can't reach. [ SCHWARZE-5 - Helger Collins ]

Alright, I'll do that and report the stop error for the reboot.
Double Post: Well, I'm getting a 0x8E stop, and there's nothing else specific about the crash. I've googled it and some forums say it's a RAM problem, but I don't have a problem at all with my RAM playing other intensive games, i.e. BF2, FEAR (finally), and COD2. What could possibly be the problem? Double Post: Ok, I've reverted back to WHQL drivers for my graphics (84.56), and now GRAW just crashes to desktop. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. [ SCHWARZE-5 - Helger Collins ]

I found the problem with GRAW. I switched compatibility to Win2000, GRAW itself gave me an error code grcmp1.04 or something like that, googled that, and turned out the sound drivers were messed up. So I downloaded the latest drivers through Creative's Auto Update.
