DirectX unrecoverable error

[mako man]

Hello guys whats up. Long time no speak.

I just had a problem playing COD 5 WAW.

When I start the game it says Direct X encountered an unrecoverable error. The game fails to load.

I can no longer play. Anyone have any ideas what caused this problem and how might I repair it?

Thanks in advance.

Id make sure your DirectX is up to date, maybe even re-installing it before anything else. just my 2cents though

Thank you, but unfortunately it didn't work. I sent the computer back to the store for diagnosis.

They advised that the video card is shot. It is two months out of warranty. Bummer
