I've recently built a new machine - ECS GeForce 6100PM-M2, Athlon 64 X2 5200+, 2gb memory and nvidia 8600 with 1gb. Only because my old machine struggled with SH3/GWX.

After installing XP I had problems with sound drivers and eventually gave up and bought a USB sound thingy.

When running SH3/GW2.1 it loads fast, runs fine but whenever I close the program it displays a blue screen full of information for about 2 seconds then reboots the machine!

A few days ago it did the same trick but when the machine came back up again. it announced that the partition was unusable.

I am now unable to boot the machine into xp and it looks like I will have to completely re-install XP, SH3 & GW2.1. Naturally I'm not happy.

My problem is this -- do you think the problem is in SH3 or the hardware?

Sorry I can't give details of mods etc but I can't get into the machine at all.
