Dear Gamer's Hell,
For a long time I've read the forums but never thought of a reason to post, untill now. I just bought Doom 3 and I can't play it because after I've been playing it for ... oh about 5 minutes the whole computer goes and crashes and restarts. It did the same thing on: The Farcry demo (both of them), The Painkiller demo, and the UT2k4 demo. All are pretty high end i suppose. I've been told that updating my graphics card drivers/getting directX9.0c should fix it (i've tried both 9.0b and c), but they don't. My specs are

AMD Athalon 2.0ghz
Geforce 4 Ti4200
512 mgs ddr ram

Even with the settings on like... low and lowest possible resolution it still crashes. But it's like 5 min into the game every time. I don't think its the graphics card because I see people running D3 just fine on lesser ones. Hmm I dunno help if you can. I don't wanna waste the 55 bucks I spent on Doom...

sorry this probably should've been in the Hellp forum.
