I'm using the latest NVIDIA drivers available for my card, 180.48, and I'm Windows XP 32 BIT.  I purchased CoD4 on DVD.

Basically, in singleplayer or multiplayer (doesn't matter), I can get a good 5-10 seconds of play time, and then CoD4 freezes and task manager reports that it stops responding. I can kill the process (iw3sp.exe & iw3mp.exe) and it will restore my desktop.


It's fucking annoying.  I'm using the latest RealTek sound driver, and have updated my BIOS to the latest release, in effort to fix it.  I've tried with only stick of RAM in, doesn't seem to matter.

Any solutions?  I'm at a total loss, I've been trying to solve this problem since the beginning of the week, even rebuilt windows in effort to fix, no luck.

Am I just fucked with this card or what?  It plays BF2 fine, seems to be CoD4. 


+I installed and played the game successfully on my old system, which has an X1300 ATI card, an E6600 and a Dell motherboard and it ran perfectly with no flaws, but on low graphics at ~30FPS, due to the limitations of the card.

I had this problem and it was because of the RealTek sounddrivers on my P5Q PRO board. a quick fix is to plug in headphones. start game then take headphones out (or leave them in if u want). this means that the speakers dont use the realtek drivers. however i bought a sound card not much later and that fixed my problem permanently .

So, I finally got this fixed.

After weeks of going nuts and getting angry, I released I just had to switch my GPU from the blue slot, to the black shot. 

What are the odds...
