I really need help. I decided to get out fable and play it but when the game first loads and i skip past the story part my computer restarts. I turned off computer restart and got the 0x0000008e error. I tried updating my graphics but i have a ati radeon 2400 hd agp card and i can only get certain driver updates for the agp. Ive ran stability tests on my cpu and graphics card and it all went good. i have a brand new 600 watt power supply so power isnt a problem. This has happened before and i managed to some how fix it but i cant figure out how i did it after i formated my hdd and thought maybe someone else would know.

well i have good news and bad news. I uninstalled the drivers from ati and installed the ones from omega and the game works fine. But another thing is that now i have to restart my computer every other time i turn it on because dxdiag says total approx memory N/A and when i restart the computer it says 256, it even does it while im playing fable and the screen goes black but it still has sound, if i minimize the game and run dxdiag it says i have no memory on my grafics card. Ive tried reinstalling the drivers but it still happens

Very strange error, what's the AGP aperture size set to in the BIOS?

i set it to 16mb awhile back before i used omega drivers when i was messing around with the ati drivers trying to get something to work, i have gotten further with the omega drivers though. Do think that setting it that low is the problem?

By setting it to 16MB you're effectively telling your system you have a 16MB card. Raise it to whatever your card has, presumably 256.

No problem, I'm glad as that was a bit of a stab in the dark...
