| I got this game yesterday, installed it on XP SP2 without a hitch, and completed the first chapter of 'No Mercy' without issues.
Then today, when I started chapter 2, the game closed to desktop after ~15 minutes of game play. It didn't close alright either, the wallpaper of my desktop was replaced with the scene from the game when it crashed. Thinking it to be a random crash, I restarted the game, but again, ~10 minutes in, the game crashed and this time, I had to reset the computer as even Ctrl+Alt+Del failed to recover it (I assume that it opened up since the mouse cursor was active on a portion of the screen, but it failed to be visible on the screen).
Then I started the game for the third time, and yet again! The game crashed and the classic Windows error box popped up saying "Left 4 Dead has encountered an error and needs to be closed"
So what's the deal here? I have overclocked my gfx card, but I doubt that has anything to do with this since a problem with that would result in all the gfx card speed going back to default automatically. |
