Blue screen whenever I try to play games - please help

Hi,
My computer runs perfectly when I do tasks such as using the net, typing letters etc, but as soon as I run a game it stops working....
I start the game up, it runs through the intro movies, and then it shows a blank blue screen with the sound "repeating"in the background - the only way of getting out of this is to turn off & restart my computer from the switch. It does this with all of my games, so I know it's not a issue with a particular game. It seems to do this when it would normally engage the 3D effects part of the processor.
Since this problem has started I have re-built the machine (formatted), installed a fresh copy of windows, downloaded the latest drivers and yet it still will not play games. I have also rolled back to previous versions of the drivers in case it was an issue with the new version of the drivers, and still no change.
I do suspect that it is a driver problem though, because once the computer has restarted after the error and windows says it has recovered from a serious error, the error report says that a driver caused the problem (it doesn't say which driver, and it isn't much more helpful than that). Sometimes the blue screen says something about "driver edirol not equal" or something like that, but usually it is blank.
If anybody can help me solve this I'll be extremely grateful, because I am completely out of ideas.
My system details are below:
Motherboard - MSI 845E MAX
Graphics card - Saphire Radeon 9800 Pro
Processor - Intel Pentium 4 2.4
Sound - Soundblaster Audigy platinum, and Delta 44
Running - Windows XP professional
I have tried to run the following games - C&C Generals, Black and White, Spellforce, Planetside and Soldior of Fortune 2.
Thanks,
Richard Elliott

Hi, thanks for the reply,
I can't check the power supplys specs at the moment, cause I'm at work - but I recorded some of the SpeedFan settings I ran before which might be of some use ......

SWF displaying as Black or Blank Screen only the video audio play. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello,
I have tried getting my videos to play and all I get is a black screen with audio only.
After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the swf files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file) but that didn’t help – same blank screen.
Can anyone help me understand why this .swf won’t play?
Please help!
Thank you in advance!
Here’s the link

Conroy,
I thank you much. There were some manual updates that I was not aware of that needed installed. It seems to be working just fine now. Thank you very, very much for your help. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you!

I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
Any Ideas?
Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

Why does my mid-2010 Macbook Pro suffer from huge FPS drops whenever I try to play games?

Macbook info: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, nVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB
When I play games on my Macbook Pro, such as League of Legends, Diablo III, World of Warcraft, etc., they operate well with latency of ~80ms usually and fps starting off between 30-60, but after only a couple seconds or minutes my fps drops to 5-15 and the games become unplayable and I must force quit the program. Restarting the computer helps temporarily but then it relapses.
I cleaned out all my downloads, applications, and other deletable files that I could find. I installed and updated Mavericks OS X and the issue persists. Before I installed Mavericks I noticed in Activity Monitor that almost all of my memory was in use while playing a game. After Mavericks the memory is almost all permanently in use, but from what I've read this is what is supposed to happen and instead of looking at memory in use you look at memory pressure, which looks normal.
I was going to upgrade from 4GB RAM (current) to 8GB RAM and see if that helps but idk if that has anything to do with my fps issue or not. Any thoughts?

Alright well I'm definitely not running virus scans or doing system backups and then complaining about slow performance.... The only other application running besides whatever game i'm playing is SMC fancontrol to make sure my computer isn't overheating.
In terms of CPU%, games like WoW and LoL take ~50-60% of CPU while active, but activity monitor still reports ~80% idle. For disk activity, i'm not sure whether it uses optical or not, I assume i just uses the hard drive, which is brand new cus it broke down about a month ago and I had to replace it (the fans are brand new as well, so I don't think it could be build up of dust or anything inside because it was opened and cleaned so recently).
I can set all graphics setting to lowest possible and improve my fps to 20, which is still awful, and enabling vertical sync just sends it back down to 15 fps. I don't see why I should have to use lowest graphics settings anyway. It can't be out of date drivers since i have 10.9.1 running. Could the graphics card be the issue? That would suck since I can replace and upgrade RAM but not the graphics card.
I have repaired disk and disk permissions multiple times, virus scans, the whole gambit and nothing seems to help.

I have downloaded itunes, but whenever I try to play a song that I have already purchased I get a message that tells me that my computer isn't authorized. How do I authorize it? This is a new computer.

I have an itunes account with a lot of songs. I just bought a new computer, and whenever I try to play a song that I already paid for it tells me that my computer is not authorized. How do I authorize it? I had a new computer before and never had any problems playing the songs. Please can anyone tell me how to authorize my computer?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

ah this is a simple fix. open itunes go to store on the top menu bar and click store. scroll down and click
"Authorize this computer" fill in the info requested and there u have it.

Try these troubleshooting steps.
If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Can't play rented movies. They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch. But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."

Can't play rented movies. They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch. But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK. The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date. I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes? This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.
