Crash when joining parties.

Ok, this is a serios gamekiller.

Whenever I join a party (a person invites me or I invite another person) the game crashes. This windows pop-up appears and says "windows has just detected and recovered from a serios error, please reboot to restore functionality". But the weird thing is, I can still hear the game in the background, and the game is still going (This one time I died). I cant return to the game either.

I tried turning off my protection systems...nothing.

One time when I rebooted, it said "Please send error report" and I looked on "view details" and it said something about my graphic card...though I dont know what this has to do with my graphic card.

2-3 year old computer, just got memory upgrade. Will get specs if requested.

Yes, we need specs. Although from what you've said it does sound like a graphics card problem. Are your drivers updated, and directx as well?

Well, couldnt exactly get the specs. But here is what it sais on the windows report

The driver for the display device was unable to complete a drawing operation. Please check with the device manufacturer for a driver update

Please tell Microsoft about this probelm.
The display driver for intel(R0 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv Graphics conroller seems to be responsible for the system instability.

So what it's saying is. Is that I need to update my graphics controller?

To get your specs, go to Start Menu, Run, type dxdiag and hit enter. Copy down what it gives you for system information, and the Device information in the Display tab.
