Principalmente gioca, quindi si è comprato varie versioni di giochi platinum.
Con i vari Age of Empire nessun problema.
Mentre con Empire Earth, dopo poco si impalla il PC e l'unica soluzione è resettare.
Ho aggiornato i driver Catalist alla versione 5.10
Ho aggiornato il gioco all'ultima versione.
Non so più cosa fare, non è normale.
L'unica spiegazione che mi sono dato è un problema di DirectX
Con uno dei tanti giochi che ha installato, la procedura guidata di installazione gli proponeva anche di installare le DirectX 8, essendo giochi ormai datati, lui non sapendo niente di inglese, non mi ha chiamato, e l'ha semplicemente installate.
Il mio dubbio è che essendo le DirectX bastarde, lui abbia sostituito qualche file che magari adesso impalla il PC. Gli ho anche fatto riscaricare le ultime directX, e reinstallare, però sappiamo tutti che non sempre lo fa realmente, o almeno una volta era così.
Il programma DxDiag sembra tutto Ok, o almeno nei test.
Allego l'elenco dei file estrapolato dal report, io non ho XP e quindi non posso controllare se ci sono delle differenze:
