Paul84 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hello everyone, I hope this is the correct forum to ask this question. Problem: Half Life 2, Portal, Civilization 4, Fallout 3, etc. are crashing (hangs & then quits) after ~5 minutes of playing. System: Tried on Windows XP with SP2, SP3; also Vista and currently Windows 7. I run them on MacBook (aluminum) 13" via bootcamp (ver. 2.1). Drivers: I updated sound drivers from Realtek website. Games are crashing even with sound card disabled. I am guessing it has to be the graphic card but I was unable to successfuly install drivers with modden inf under Windows 7 (this is what I am running now). The weird part is... I can play Team Fortress 2 for 2-3 hours without problems! This is truly creeping me out since Half Life 2 runs on the same source engine... I tried reinstalling games many times. Anyway, If anyone has any suggestions on what could I possibly do - I would greatly appreciate it. And yes - I did Extensive Apple Hardware test and found no problems. Thanks for your help!

paulozoom Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have a similar problem with my Late 08 Macbook using XP SP3, with a 9400M. I can play Team Fortress 2 pretty well, but I get some random crashes now and then, which it's quite frustrating. I've searched the forums and found nobody with a proper solution. Should I install 185.20 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 you can try but its not the most stable of drivers. Have you tried the official mobile nvidia drivers 179.28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulozoom Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) No I didn't. I used your customized drivers, version 181.20. But TF2 keeps crashing. Also, 9400M doesn't show up on the supported products for 179.28. Here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_noteb...79.28_beta.html What to do?
