heres my dxdiag so you can compare , mines a 2500+ Mbarton overclocked to 2.4 on a asus a7n8x-e dlx mainboard ,and a 9600 pro card , Water cooled .
I dont remember if ive got the 4.27 international Nforce drivers on it or the set befor that ... but which ever it is it works like a swiss watch in Aces High .
I run the Hires pack and 1024 textures.
you may not have cleaned out the drivers good enough befor the 4.12's went in ... or have something going on with the Nforce drivers thats causing the crash.
