Troubleshooting games in GMA HD

[idata]

i have i3-530 and intel h55tc motherboard w/ windows xp 32 bit

problem is when i play games like warcraft, left 4 dead, and call of duty. My computer plays it smoothly then after half an hour or maybe 2hrs of gaming, my system will eventually causes hang - up and BSOD events. I tried to clean my case to be sure that airflows is good and manage the wirings, and installing all the latest drivers, but still the problem persist. should i do reformatting or wait for newer drivers to fix this problem?

Hi!

The most current video driver available is http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19117&ProdId=3143&lang=eng 14.42.4.5273 version, and if this is what your system's got, then, I'd suggest the following to begin troubleshooting:

1. Make sure Device Manager has no conflicts.

2. Try removing the software (game) in question, restarting the system and reinstalling the game.

3. Test with the most current BIOS http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19161&ProdId=3143&lang=eng 0038 version.
