An Interesting Problem

[TrekCaptainUSA]

This has happened to me only once before (about one-and-a-half months ago) and has not happened again until now, but:

As I am playing one of the games on my computer, the game freezes up, and about 3 seconds later, the system crashes and restarts. After logging on, it says: The system has recovered from a serious error (or something along those lines).

Any ideas as to what could have caused the crash?

That's the file I thought was the correct download, Ferrit, but I could use some help setting it up.

Not sure if this issue is related, but...

Windows returned a potential reason for a system crash that happened yesterday: a "video stop" related to the video card or graphics stuff in the computer. I was wondering what I can do to prevent this in the future, so if anyone can help, please do.


If you need any specs on my computer, let me know, and I'll try to find them out.

You can use either a floppy version or a cd version
In the xcase of the floppy download the image and doubleclick it.
In the case of the cd one download the ISO and then "burn image" with nero or whatever you use for burning
