i installed the GeForce FX 5500 256mb, it runs great ran the video performance test too 70.4 on 80, around 187fps... but wen i run late games such as COD 2 nd AOE 3 the game just closes for me, it didnt use to before... however AOE 2 work and old games work fine... Any ideas?? :whistling: Very frustrating!

If its bad RAM it might be that. Make sure you have the lastest drivers from Nvidias site for the card, and then try running the games. If it still doesn't work try taking the RAM you put in out, and then starting the games. hopefully one of those will fix it if not I'm stumped.
