0x887602EB Error -- what does this entail?

[TheBlackVeil]

Just tried to open a game(after a game that should run on my computer without any hitches crashed)and got the following:

Etherlords II

Can't create HW IDirect3DDevice# interface (w/ or w/0 T&L).
(0x887602EB) The device could not be created because the render target surface is not located in video memory


Is this my graphics card overheating? If so, why would it overheat?

Its definitely a graphics related problem, but it may not be heat. Get the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer and see if that helps. If you think it may be overheating then get speedfan from the downloads section and post what it says about your temperatures.

Does your computer have a card that supports T&L?

Looking at that information, its definately not a heat issue. Have you tried re installing the graphics card driver?

 

[TheBlackVeil]

Yes, many times.

How about mobo chipset driver???

I've got an ASUSTeK A7N8X standard Rev. 1.04 mobo and I've got no idea how to get the latest "chipset driver" or BIOS. =/
