keep crashing to desktop

[scotia1973]

Hope somebody can help me out here - from what I've played so far, I'm liking this game a lot.

I'm currently attempting to play through the YARD level, but my machine keeps crashing after about 5 minutes activity. From what I've seen, not necessarily due to a huge amount of action on screen, but its happening every time I try to play, give or take a few minutes.
I downloaded my game from Steam and can't locate my blackbox text files All my errors just go to microsoft, but I copied this from my event viewer

As you can see from the dxdiag, my drivers are up to date and I should have the specs to run this game without too much of a glitch. Any help gratefully accepted!! Thanks...

[Rampage Starfire]

well not sure what is wrong but I can tell you where to find your Blackbox file.

should be in:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\{account name}\darwinia

assuming that you installed it in the usual place

[scotia1973]

Thanks for showing me the path!

No sign of any blackbox reports in there... Possibly a sign that my problem is related to my system bombing rather than a specific issue with Darwinia?
My system is completely stable internet browsing and all office app's mind you. Just seems to play up with this fun app... Looks like I'm destined to be all work and no play til I can sort this out...

nvoglnt.dll

That says it all. nvoglnt.dll is Nvidia's OpenGL NT Dynamic Link Libary. My suggestion would be to re-install your graphics card drivers, as they seem to be at fault.

Thanks NeoThermic

I've actually tried that already. Tried the recommended 'uninstall - reboot - install' procedure. And when that didnt work, I ran a utility called 'driver cleaner pro' in safe-mode, which claims to remove the parts that the first procedure leaves behind. Still no joy...
I definitely appreciate you pinpointing where my error is arising from though. I'll maybe try rolling back a driver and see if that gives me any more stability.

I have some other Nvidia drivers running on my system - I only uninstalled and replaced the Nvidea 'display' drivers, but could there be an error with my setup now? Here's my system devices info from dxdiag - I apologise as this doesnt make too much sense to me.

Just wanted to let anyone whose interested know that I seem to have fixed my problem by rolling back to the NVidia 81.95 driver. My system seems to be totally stable now and I very happily played right thtough to the end of Yard without a glitch.

Many thanks for the guidance Rampage Starfire and NeoThermic
