games >> Halo 2 Crashing on Start Up

by VGhvcg » Thu, 24 Jan 2008 15:03:00 GMT

When I start Halo 2, it will load up then go right back to the desktop, but
will be running on the taskbar, when it gets to the Microsoft Game movie
everything will freeze up, unless I hit spacebar right before it plays then I
can jump right to the game. But if I let that one movie play it will freeze
the system.

2. Halo will crash at start of new game 

I did install HALO on saturnday. Worked fine. 
Later that day my system crashed due to a power down 

When i started the system on sunday, everything is working
fine. (can run all of my games) except for Halo.

Halo will start, I can select new user etc etc, but when
i try to run halo, it will crash. I did install the 
latest video and soundblaster and DirectX again and again.
Removed halo, installed it again. Nothing seems to work

I'm getting desperate. 

PLEASE ADVICE.

PS: The errorlog showed something strange
     "CPU AMD Feature Code"
    I have a pentium 4 (so no AMD processor)
