Hello everyone, been seeing some topics on computer lock ups/crashes after jumping stargates or things similar to that. Now, this may not work for everyone, but has worked for many people with the issue, and it doesn't take long, worked for me.

I think you simply need to update your bios/drivers manually. Simply by going to your PC/MOTHERBOARD manufacturers website and looking for driver/bios updates.

Just follow the link to PC World, follow the steps (shouldn't take long). But PLEASE be sure to choose the right driver updates, if you choose driver updates that are specifically designed for another system, your computer could potentially not start up again once the updates are installed. When I did this, I did not install EVERY single update, I actually only installed the graphics driver update, and an Intel processor/graphics update. Then the game worked perfectly for me. So, the problem must be originating for some from the graphics card.

I hope the best of luck to any of you who currently have this issue.
