    Alright, so I play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and recently, it has decided to crash about 10 minutes into any game I get going. My entire computer freezes up (after the screen has gone black) and I have to restart manually. It does this almost every single time, and I have no idea why. It might be a driver issue, but I have no idea what driver I need for W:ET, and I can't find out. Are there generic ones for FPSs that I do not have?

    If your computer has a dual processor, try this:

    1) Start the game and then use ALT+TAB or the Windows key to go to the desktop.

    2) Open the Task Manager and right-click on the Wolfenstein application. Select "Go to Process".

    3) When you see what process it's using, right-click on it and select "Select Affinity" (or similar). Unmark one of the CPUs, accept, and go back to the game.
