Hi guys,
I can't play CoD anymore.I don't know what is going on with my PC.I am currently on Vista Ultimate SP1

From the beginning,I played MW2 for like an hour,then it would bomb out,then a Call of Duty Modern Warfare2 Stopped responding error would appear.So I then end the process since I cant do more really..Then before I can play again I need to restart my PC,only to find my resolution being set to 1024x768..

Anyway this is how I played for several week up until now..

I downloaded "WeGame" to record some of my games and set it to record at HD..But when I logged into MW2 right after my download and joined a game..After a successful map load,I where able to choose my class.

Now when I spawn all the colours and whole graphical interfase turns to weird matt-like colors and blocks.My pc freezes.So I go to Task Manager and yet again end the process..
then I get a "Display drivers stopped responding and has recovered" message.

What is the problem?

I have the newest Nvidia drivers.
I do not OC my hardware.
Its not a heating problem for I can play other games without any problems,my GFX runs at an avg. temperature of 65.
I cleaned the card and PCI slots.
I cleaned my RAM and DIMM slots.
Nothing is overheating.
I even experience this when I run MW2 in SafeMode with lowest graphical settings.

Please advise me on what to do?

Downside

You could try rolling the drivers back. I had to do this as every now and again MW2 would just freeze go black then load up again but I would be disconnected from the game each time. I then installed the drivers that came with the original disc and its been fine ever since.

Does it work ok without WeGame running?

Hmm I will try that.I had Nvidia's 190 drivers when it just bombed out etc.downloaded WeGame whilst still on the 190 drivers then it went haywire.

Updated to 195 driver set and still haywire..Do you suggest trying something between 190and195?

No.Like I said I downloaded WeGame then it started to go wrong.I haven't even taken a screenshot with WeGame,cuz It started going haywire directly after I downloaded so I uninstalled WeGame immediatly.But unfortunatly MW2 haven't worked since.

Downside

In that case i'm not entirely sure, does any other game with high end graphics play ok? If not then it might be the graphics card and WeGame is a red herring. If other games work then maybe a reinstall of MW2.

Try downloading some software that detects hardware problems, I dont know the name of any i'm afraid so can't suggest anything worthwhile.

Post a dxdiag, I'll check out your drivers for you

As for hardware monitoring, download EVGA precision to monitor your GPU temps. I know you say that it averages around 65, but is that in game? If it's not in game then 65 is quite high...

To monitor other hardware, download and install Everest free trial. Use this to check your CPU/northbridge/southbridge/hard drive temperatures. You can also use it to stress test various components.

Might also be worth getting steam to verify the integrity of the files.
