Graphics problem

[song]

I just read your PM...
I see you have an Intel graphics card. That might be the problem.

Despite Intel video cards supporting the Direct3D 9 API, those cards weren't made made for gaming. Those having D3D/OGL support is more a "marketing feature" than an useful feature.

The solution would be to get an ATi or nVidia Vcard.

Fortunately, freelancer does not require a powerful one, so anything over a cheap GeForce 4 (except the gefrce 5/FX line of cards) or Ati 9200 should do well. Still, I recommend Geforce 6600+ or Radeon 9800+

Well if its happening with other games it CAn be the problem I mentioned earlier.

Is your PC literally shutting down and/or restarting on its own?

If thats the case, ground yourself, reseat the graphics card (careful--it will have latch tab on one end that needs to be unlatched) and check the graphics voltage in any g-card utility you have and in bios.

Make sure it is running an AGP speed setting that your motherboard handles.
