Hi guys, I'm in real need of help right now... I just purchased King Kong Gamers Edition off Direct2Drive and after only a few minutes I start getting a BSOD. Now, don't mix the Gamers Edition King Kong with the Standard Edition (original Xbox graphics - only available on CD-Rom). I own both versions, but I decided to purchase the next-gen (X360 graphics) version on Direct2Drive (only available thru that service) since my PC far exceeds the requirements of it... and the Standard version looks real dated and runs at over 100 fps. Right as I'm dropped into an in-game cut-scene as I am being rowed ashore from my ship, my game happens to stutter either when the NPCs begin speaking (not while they are speaking, only right as they start) or when I make a 360 degree turn and look at something I haven't seen before. For any of you who have actually played this game, I've only gotten as far as the slope leading down to the large wooden gate that needs to be raised with the aid of 2 characters (the equivalent of about 2-3 minutes of play).
When my PC is on the brink of a BSOD, my PC first freezes, sound still running as if nothing happened, sound then freezes, picture goes black, then a second later, the dreaded blue screen appears! The screen stays, it does not flash and then restart as some BSODs have been known to do. It starts to dump physical memory and shows me that my issue is "Ati3duag.dll". Now, I know this means that my BSOD is being caused by my drivers (I own an ATI HD 3870, btw)... In no other instance, whether in a game or just doing various tasks on my PC, have I received a blue screen of death. I have the latest drivers for my card, so I'm not really sure as to what to do now... This game was supposed to be a Christmas present and I was making sure it would work fine... But obviously, it does not... Help?
