no I didn't try a clean install, I really don't want to do that, have to much installed, that will be my last resort.

I did read on another forum where they pretty much have the same problem, someone there did a clean install, but the same happend.

Okey, so heres my problem. I recantly bought a XFX 9600GT and it's not overclocked, standard 650, 900, 1625.

Whenever I play a game it crashes and gives a black screen with looped sound and I have to restart manually, sometimes it does it automatically after 2-3 seconds.

The crashes are randomly from 30min to 2hr, though I played Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance for 2 and a half hours without any problems, but any other games I've played so far crashes (Titan Quest: Immortal Throne, Unreal Tournament 3 and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty). I've ruled out overheating, but I think it could be my power supply (Hiper HPU-4M580-PU), but I've read other posts with the same problem and they have OC 9600gt cards and have a power supply with 400W+ and 12V with 26A witch is the requirements and they slill have the problem. I'm using 174.16 driver fom nvidia and I tried using the driver that came with the card (171.16), but the same thing happens.

So if theres anyone that could help me I would be very happy!

I'm wondering why they always remove the great stuff in games, like in Supreme Commander they removed those Awesome explotion effects on allmost everything. Like the ones we saw in the early videos & pictures of the game...

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion they removed shadows on bones, tables all the misc stuff. I was realy looking forward to that... And I'm sure that there are other games too I just can't remember.

Is there anyone that knows why they removed these things???

Would realy like to know.
