So I just bought this new pc and I decided to download the Crysis demo to try it out. Installation goes fine, I made a shortcut from the exe in that Bin32 folder and double clicked the icon. First I get a blank screen, then after a few seconds my computer crashes and reboots. Anyone know what's up? Specs: Athlon X2 5400 BE, ASUS Radeon HD 4850, 2 GB ram, on Vista 32 bit Home Premium.

Try installing a newer/different video driver.

I have no clue, man. I just played the demo on my computer, which has lower specs than yours...and it runs perfectly in DX9 and XP. Wish I could help you. It's pure fps fun.

It's weird that you're having this problem. Have you googled it?

That sucks. Where did you download the demo from? I had trouble with the demo on Gamespot. My downloader said the file was corrupt. So, I went to the Nvidia site and downloaded it from there.

I downloaded from Fileplanet, but I doubt Fileplanet would have a problem with one of its files. I'm going to redownload from Strategy Informer and will post back
