i played halo for over a year,until i had a system crash.i reinstalled windows xp pro,and a new video card.i also had to install new power supply as my old one was fairly weak.now when i try to run halo,i get past the movie trailers and it goes back to desktop saying "gathering exception data".i have a p4 2.4,with a pny geforce fx 5900 se. the error code it gives is "0xc0000005".

Have you updated your soundcard drivers? Your chipset drivers? Your video card is supported by Halo, so I doubt that's where the problem lies if you've updated your drivers. Also, if your system is saying you have SP1 installed, then that's what's installed. I'd recommend not installing SP2 until things get smoothed out (if they ever do).

You might also ensure that FSAA and Anisotropic filtering are not enabled for Halo, as often times this will cause problems. Update your directX to the latest version.
