I recent bought Splinter Cell double agent off Steam. I have enough spec to run the program and it starts up fine, but after 2-5 minutes of game-play, the game freezes, and an error from ATI Catalyst control center pops up saying that my graphics processor had to be reset because it was no longer receiving data from my drivers. The game then allows play for another 2-5 minutes and the same error happens again, this time resulting in a black screen and complete crash. I have updated both direct x and my video drivers to the latest versions, but to no avail. If I try to play a different game after this error, my video card is no longer recognized and I need to reboot. Specs are as follows:
Processor :AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ @ 3100 MHz
Video Card :ATI Radeon HD 3850 512 MB
Physical Memory :4096 MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM )
I have also patched the game itself
Any suggestions?
