i got this crazy fuc***' thing...kinda the pc reboots when playing a game for some time like thug2 or NHL2005...then after rebooting and signing in in your user it's says that message : System as recovered from a critical error[or smthng like that]...and i click send...[that button thats says send relatorie or smthng]...then it opens an internet window and says that i've got to get the newest driver from nvidia...well i've got it n' it still crashes...does anyone know anything about this?thanks

Mind giving some specs on your computer, I've heard of many problems with NVIDIA AGP cards working on lower spec systems, similar to this. The best thing to do is download a BIOS update from your computer's manufacturer's website (or motherboards). From what I've seen before if that doesn't fix it then you're screwed.
Try taking the card out and putting it in another slot (if available) that should buy you around a week or so. The problems usually caused with the graphics card being literally in physical size not totally fitting and connections breaking down.
Also, if possible, I'd consider taking it back and getting a VGA card, NVIDIA's VGA cards cause fewer conflicts in general than the AGP ones on a larger scale...

hmm...
computer specs :
Motherboard : Asus P4S800
Processor : Intel Prescott IV 2,8 ghz
Ram : 512 mb
HD : 80 gb
Graphic card : Nvidia FX 5200 [256mb]
don't know more things to say...

Those specs should support it, have you tried the BIOS update?

You don't need to know your version, it's just a list of all the versions that you can get. Download the 1009 one...

2 complicated 4 me

Just download and install this http://www.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4s800/P4S800_9.zip
If that doesn't work try upgrading your version of DirectX

It sounds like your CPU could be overheating.
Try download MBM and see how hot it is getting.
