Computer Help Please

Post by Mystic_Chi »

Halo while it does work will after a while freeze up and a blue screen will
appear then restart.

Also I'm not sure how to check my drivers and stuff are but I know that I have a laptop with Windows XP Professional Edition with an AMD Athlon XP 2400+.

Try reinstalling halo, Run Auto Play and head to Add/Remove and take it from there. If that doesn't work reply back.

edit: could be your system if it doesn't work

Well seeing your not much of an expert..

1. Get all your updates for all of your hardware.
2. Check your hardware and make sure are all functioning properly and that they have drivers installed.
3. I'm afraid there isnt a easy way to get out of this.. like a step by step process, you will just have to "trail & error" until you find out whats wrong with it.
