Hi.

I recently bought Halo 2 for my computer, and I have been playing through. But at one point in the game after the cut scene with the Covenant ship slipstreaming in the atmosphere of the first planet, and the cut scene with the Arbiters the screen goes black, and my computer fries. Does anyone know what this problem might be, and how I can fix it?

A malignant computer virus masquerading as usable software may be your issue:

The one I got was exclusively for Windows Vista. So Vista is not the problem.

It might be the video card. But I am pretty sure that my video card met the requirements.

You do realize the "first planet" you're on is Earth, right?

As for the error, it's rather strange that you managed to play the game up til that point, maybe the problem lies with the game disc itself.

Yes I know it was earth. But it was also the first planet.

See that's what confuses me. Why did it let me get to that point? I had a similar problem with another game, and I solved that by turning down the graphics. But I tried that and nothing happened. It could be the disk. But it's brand new so it doesn't have any scratches.
