Post your specs, check overheating... give some more info.
Check the sticky and post a Dxdiag.

Everything loads just fine, but when the light goes past the h2 logo it lags but the sound still goes. then after i sign into live and join a match or start campaign it will run for a little bit then it just freezes completely making the noise that is happining in the background. i just got this comp yesterday. this shits so frustrating. i appreciate any help
You overclocking something? Does NVidia have VPU recovery?
i dont understand
The fact that you just got your computer still doesn't make it better - your Graphics Card for instance could be faulty.
And you left the sound Card unmentioned in your dxdiag....
*Sigh*
You didn't even try and read the sticky did you?
Anyway, try doing a Selective Startup, but you should also try to see if there's any other game that's doing the same...
Also, perhaps a BIOS update is in place.
Its not just H2V, it also did it on CS source... I just want the prob fixed what now?

What freezes? The whole computer or just the game?
If the computer is new these signs are sometimes normal (like with mine) but after a while they'll go away...my computer unfreezed after about 10-30secs. :)
computer r such a pain!!
it freezes forever and cant do shit but reboot
I see, but is it Halo 2 and CS only?Quote:

i have done that all also, so ill have to get a new card?
Well it seems that when you got your Graphics Card it was already broken, but since it's so new I'm sure you'll get a replacement in no time.
is there any way i can actually see if its broken? so i know if i should call them.
Try running all sorts of programs that use 3D rendering i.e. more games.... If they all show similar symptoms then you can be 99.8% sure that your GFX Card is fried out of the box, so to speak...
wait... when i check out the specs of my comp it says the video memory is 256mb is that bad??
Actually the odds of a graphic card to be broken are VERY slim...the whole lock up could be caused by something else.
Did you build that rig yourself?
And no 256 MB are just fine.
Not that slim, i had one that was fried/bitf*cked or whatever being brand new.
and vicky what did it do when u played games? anything like this?
The symptoms of a fried card are usually:Quote:

... And although it could still be something else, I'd still have to lean towards the broken card - unless if it's ONLY Halo 2 and CS that's showcasing this kind of behaviour in his computer.
i think u might be right, earlier also i cam back to it and it froze with just a screen saver up...
... Yeah, it's fried allright :/Quote:

so ya that wasnt the prob but its still occuring...
??!!
Well did it change in any way? Do all games still crash and/or freeze?
Who built that computer? Maybe He/She made a sloppy job...
BTW, There's one important part of your computer that the DxDaig doesn't state - The PSU (=Power Supply Unit)
So, What is it? Is it giving enough power to your computer?
Caboose is right, the components of your computer might not be receiving sufficient power.
I think there may be a big problem with your video card. Do you have an integrated video card in your motherboard? If so, remove the Geforce 8600 or just disable it and run off the integrated to see if crashes still occur. If so, then your RAM or motherboard may be faulty.
If you bought it at bestbuy, let them figure it out. That pc should easily run h2v.
Very true, this guy's PC owns mine outright, and I can play at 1680x1050 on low or 1024x768 on high with smooth framerates.
By those two lines you can tell if it's a custom built or a OEM computer...Quote:
