I have a s3 k8m 800 integrated graphics adapter. Some games run great on it but others play for a while and just die out. like postal 2, and half life. Well I just installed FEAR and the when the game loads it just stays at the black screen but I can hear the music.. No picture at all just a black screen.. can anyone help? I updated the graphics driver, running xp pro sp2 with 512 megs of ram..
