Direct x

Zarbix

when ever i start any directx games (wc3 ) the screen just freezes and after a while , the computer just auto reboot. tried run the direct3d test but the same problem happens without it completing the test. other games that does not use directx works( cs which uses opengl) any suggestion what the problem is?
i get this problem many times already , format twice but still does not solve the problem

thanks in advance

some questions :
do i need to remove my current gfx card driver before installing the omega's version?

what is FastWrite and USCW*

to reinstall direct x 9.0c is it just click one of the links n download that tool to do so?

elekis

heu.. good question??
for "delete driver " I suppose but I m not sure(I m under linux, and it's a long time I touched a windows computer)

otherwise, USCW is a option who manage the memory cache of the video card.
USCW=Uncacheable Speculative Write Combining

for directx--> yes

in fact, the only thing who can doubt me, is the destruction of the old driver. try both.
