I am not denying that there are better PCs available, but if you dont have the money, there are alternatives.
I agree, my last PC was a Medion... cheap and cheerfull it might have been but there was nothing wrong with it as a foundation on which to build... after a few years I decided to upgrade it to be able to play more modern games. The Upgrades consisted of a more powerfull graphics card, an SB audigy 2ZS soundcard with the drivebay slot connections interface, an additional 1gb of Ram, an additional fan, a higher wattage power supply (to power new graphics).. it was quite a capable machine with pretty decent benchmark scores and I never had any problems with it at any time before or after the upgrades.
Ended up building the new PC I have now simply because I wanted to change to PCI-E for futureproofing and sold my Medion for almost the same price as It cost to build my new one!
Not sure what else I can do My PC hasnt changed at all
Go and buy a PS2 and play it there...better than nothing
Jamie. Has it crashed since last night when you did what I said on msn?
Still no resolution to my problems.... no log notes listed at all for it so I am still none the wiser as to what is causing it to crash It does seem to be doing it randomly, although it has done it a couple of times in the menus and it has stuttered a wee bit before crashing a couple of seconds later
But anyway, to hell with it, I have ordered a G25 which should be delivered tomorrow Will probably try reformatting my PC and reinstalling windows in the near future, that usually clears up anything like this... (I hope!)
If the world didnt suck, wed all fall off!
