So I recently built a new computer. On my old computer I was able to play Fiesta with no problems. With my new one I cannot. Once I get to the server select screen and click on anything my computer will freeze up and eventually turn the screen black, gray, or a blueish-green color. I cannot do anything what so ever. The only thing I am able to do at this point is maually restart my computer. Some of the time I can get logged into the game and play for less than a minute before it freezes. The specs of my computer are:

Windows XP Pro SP3
AMD Athlon 2.9GHz dual-core processor
4 GB RAM
gForce 8200 integrated graphics
DirectX 9.0

These are more than the required specs. All of my drivers are up to date. I also use AVG antivirus. If anyone could help me fix this problem I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks :)

Have you tried other games and this has occurred? To me it sounds like a graphic card issue. Attempt to reinstall the driver from nvidia's website.

I have played one other game and it seemed fine. I reinstalled my graphics driver and tried to play Fiesta again. I got logged in and was on my character for about 1 minute. Then it froze and went to a colored screen again. I had to manually shut down. I am currently installing another game to see if the problem will occur on it as well.

I finished installing my other game. It did freeze up and go to a colored screen. I am unsure what I should do now to fix the problem. Any suggestions?

If its a newly built pc... i suggest getting a RA on the board/graphics card. Or if you're computer can take an independent graphics card, get one. =)
