[puni]

computer is clean. virus free.
This is what i observe......
happens when i play a specific game BUT.......

everything runs normal under certain conditions....

comp crashes when task manager shows...
-cpu usage avg 30%
-game appears to run smoothly no laggy movement

comp DOESNT crash when
-cpu usage avg 50-60%
-game has consistent laggy movement (normal)

When game is initially loaded there seems to be no lag
but eventually the lagg kicks in and the laptop is stable
and can run for days without problem.
When the computer is shut off and restarted it seems
that the stability is compromised because???? i dunno
my guess is it has to do with the memory or paging file
or the video card vs cpu memory.

windows xp
dell 1501 inspiron

PLEASE help.
