Pro Evolution Soccer 5

Hi T9552,

Hardware issues can cause freezing, black screens and other
errors. Also, your drivers should always be kept up to date.

Try the following steps one at a time to try and resolve the issue.
I hope this helps. Please post back if you have any questions! :-)

1. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a
Checklist of Solutions at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk

2. Dust your fans, vents and components using a 1/4" paintbrush
and a hose vacuum. Use compressed air for hard to reach places.
Set a housefan to blow cold air into your case to expose an over-
heating issue.. If it works add more fans or replace defective ones.
Use this Motherboard Monitor Utility: http://mbm.livewiredev.com

3. A faulty power supply can cause STOP errors, random reboots,
and black screen lockups. One way to test for that is to check the
wattage sticker on your power supply and then calculate your need

4. Test your RAM using: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

| Help!
|
| PES5 keeps crashing on me. Sometimes the game hangs before it even loads,
| in which case I need to shut the pc down and restart and sometimes, most of
| the time I get half a game in. Then on the menu some of the letters are
| missing from the options, I would get another minute play and then the game
| would crash.
|
| The screen would blacken and reduce showing the error with PES5.exe.
|
| I have tried running with minimum processes and it still happens. I have
| every update available including bios. I have also tried some of the
| unofficial patches to the exe file available online but to no avail.
|
| Any ideas?
|
| I am trying to sort this problem for a friend who has just had an op for
| cancer - no pressure!
|
| Thanks,
