I've a fr415m model. Im happy with its performance on games however in some new games such as unreal tournament 2004 and sacred on some certain locations a blue screen with writing on it appear and after that computer resets itself. and after comes a windows message that windows has been recovered from a serious error.What can I do? Any advice please?

If the blue screen disappears and the computer reboots automatically before you have time to read the error then turn off the auto restart function.

It's in Start - Control Panel (Classic view) - System - Advanced tab - Startup & Recovery settings - then remove the cross from the box next to automatically restart and click OK

You should then have time to read the message next time it turns up.

I've done what you said and in the blue screen it says that it seems that the problem is caused by the following file: ati3dag.dll

and under that:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

Yeah there is no problem in those and did no problem in max payne 2 as well and the one with max payne one has problems with xp I think, cause I've never seen a person who could make it work on an xp there may be a way though.
