I just started playing Halo PC again for the first time a few months. But Halo PC just locks up every few games. The only thing I am able to do is restart my computer. Does anyone else have this problem???

My operating system is windows xp, and I have service pack 2. But I cant remember if this problem started when I got SP2.

It is you need more up to date drivers and SP2 is crappy.

Every time it happens to me and i reboot it says caused by video card driver error. It sucks cuz i have the newest drivers and i was stupid enough to ask the "Geek Squad" and all they told me was buy a new card and they said the only one that would be good was the new Nvidea card. I like my card cuz when someone goes invisible they turn a solid color for me like red or yellow or some color that sticks out and i just snip' em of.

You seriously need to give more information about your problem than that. I'm an experienced PC gamer, for many years I've dealt with all manner of problems. 90% of them could be summarised with "it crashed".

So what happens exactly? is you case, card or CPU hot to the touch? have you got the latest drivers? what's your FULL system spec? this informtation is needed to solve the problem.

The one cure-all method is uninstall and update everything associated with Halo: motherboard drivers, card drivers, halo itself. oh and direct x
