I've started recently receiving GPF errors very frequently while playing ME1. I have original dvd installed version of it and it has worked just fine for past 2-3 years

my platform is

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
3Gb DDR2
Nvidia Geforce 8800GT   512Mb

I'm using Windows XP SP3
DirectX 9c


Last time i played it was around february-march and it didn't give any errors and i haven't changed anything since then except I started using LCD display (but that shouldn't affect anything) and updated my graphic card drivers after i started receiving GPF errors to version 181.22 but tthat didn't have any effect one way or another

I've read these forums about similar problems, but there always seemed to be problem with Intel chipped graphic cards or otherwise inadequate hardware requirements or digital versions DL'd from Steam. In my case it shouldn't be any of those since it has worked fine before.

Any thoughts?

The graphic driver number you just named is an elderly one that hardly seems like it would be any kind of upgrade at all, but also is at the upper range of an entire series of Geforce drivers that were responsible for entire arrays of different GPFs, so try for something a lot newer, stopping short of the very newest (257), which has other problems.

Incidentally, bad memory is a very common reason for that error:

i have updated my driver to 196.21, but no effect for GPF problem.



newest one i could find was 257.21. is that the one i should avoid?

Try testing the game with only 2 GBs of RAM, removing a different DIMM for each test (assuming you don't find a defective one immediately). Yes, avoid 257, but 196.21 is still "comparatively elderly".

I ran memtest86+ and no errors were found.



But i think i found solution as ridiculous as it seems, it worked. I remembered that one of the changes I had made earlier was adding a high-res wallpaper on my windows desktop. after i removed that, game hasn't done single GPF or any other kind of crash since, go figure.
