Hey, everyone. I've been having the same problem for more than 8 months and cant seem to find a solution.
Backround: bought counter-strike source, was running it with a ati 9200 se, wanted to increase my fps and graphics. So I went out and bought an bfg gforce 6600gtoc, another 512 of pc2700 ram, and a 550 watt p.s.
Now whenever I try to play source I get a datacache.dll error (they're working on it, hopefully solved soon). But when I try to play FEAR, or BF2, I get constant crashes to desktop, while loading a map or such.
Sidenote: I play counter-strike 1.6 and condition zero all the time with no crashes.
Here's what I'm running.
Pentium 4, 2.8ghz
1 gig pc2700 ram
gforce 6600gtoc
some 80 gig h/d
ThameStar 550 watt atx p.s
(all the latest drivers...except mobo drivers)
After reading another post on this forum, it seems that my cheapo power supply might be the culprite? How can I know for sure?
I'm really stumped and just want to play these games.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
