game keeps crashing

[quigonjay]

hi guys
i'm stuck in the great pyramid
i'm in in the room where go up the ledges after shooting a target and a grapple hook extends out
everytime i get up to the third ledge, while i'm killing the two beasties, the game keeps crashing on me :hea:
the screen just freezes and goes fuzzy with red dots :(
anyone else experienced this?
thanks
jay

EDIT: PC version

[john_york]

No, not happened to me. Have you tried turning down your graphics settings to see if it doesn't crash then?

[quigonjay]

Jay, have a look into your PC case - this issue must be an overheating one.

1. Check the heatsink for dust and the fan to be working on your video board.

2. Do not overclock.

3. Reduce TRA graphical settings.

In case there is another reason for this game behaviour, run Diagnose.exe (http://www.tombraiderhub.com/download/diagnose.exe) and post the report here.

[quigonjay]

ok, tried reducing the graphics settings, no luck, though i do think it might be a graphics issue as it crashes at the precise moment i get hit with the first fireball
cant see how it could be an overheating issue really
tried running the diagnose program but cant make any sense of it?

[EscondeR]

tried running the diagnose program but cant make any sense of it?

Just run it and POST THE REPORT SHOWN IN NOTEPAD.
