Only need 1.6 and 1.7

Check the vin # for recalls.Allot of recalls that year(1999),most notably the rotting brake lines early in the vehicles life.

BCCode 117 is usually a video driver problem.Monitor the cards temperature a make sure it's not overheating.Any time that there is an error and a mini dump file is created,you can use a program called "blue screen view" to read the information in the mini dump file.It will list all your drivers and highlight the one that caused the crash.Bad memory can also cause video related errors,run memtest to rule that out. blue screen view; http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html memtest; http://www.memtest.org

Intel has identified a chipset design error in the new 6 series chipsets; http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2011/01/31/intel-identifies-chipset-design-error-implementing-solution

For those who have motherboards with the new 6 series chipsets,have a look at this news from Intel; http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2011/01/31/intel-identifies-chipset-design-error-implementing-solution

List your system specs so we can narrow down the problem.If your video card isn't shader model 3.0 or better,you'll have problems starting the game or even loading maps.

Make sure you pick the "clean install" option when installing if you want the installer to completely remove the old drivers,if not it should save your previous settings.I would check in the control panel as Wolftis said.

With power supplies you have to remember that they degrade over time,so if you start out borderline you'll have problems later.Always get more power than you need.

Locked up again after mp_boris_beta.

Duke Nukem Forever finally has a confirmed release date of May 3 2011.You can check out the new trailer here; www.dukenukem.com

That's a stock game file in the main folder that should be 163,075kb in size.Sounds like the disk is scratched or dirty,as Graffitti said I would clean the disk and reinstall.

Todo backup is now up to version 2.0 just released.

Control Panel/Folder Options/General/make sure "Show all Folders" is checked.

Doesn't that board only have 4pin cpu power?Would a PhenomIIx6 run stable on just a 4pin cpu connector.I think max for a 4pin is 125 watts

If your running with UAC on then it will be in: UserName/AppData/Local/Activision/Call of Duty 4.If your running with UAC off then it will be in the standard location where you were looking.

If they are releasing maps and charging for them,I seriously doubt they had any intention of releasing mod tools.

Version 2.0 of Microsoft Security Essentials is out of beta and available for download.If you don't want to wait for it to come through the program itself or Windows update,you can update manually by downloading and installing overtop of the existing verion. Version 2.0 has added the ability to set cpu usage during scanning(defaults to 50%),a heuristic scanning engine,network traffic inspection(only in Vista and 7) and Internet Explorer and Windows firewall integration.

Go to- Start/Control panel/Sound/Recording/left click microphone/properties/levels/set volume to max and make sure it's not muted. You can also try mic boost by following the same path but instead of "levels",click on "custom" to turn on mic boost.

Are you using the 3.5mm mic jacks or the usb adapter?The usb mic will run on it's own internal sound card and not through the x-fi sound card.

You can reinstall the game with any CoD4 cd.You can get your key from Widows registry; in search/regedit-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Activision/Call of Duty 4/codkey

As long as you have your original key code,you can install the game with any CoD4 cd.Your profile is tied to the key no matter who's cd you use.

When reinstalling your video drivers I recommend running "driver sweeper" in safe mode to rule out a driver issue. Driver sweeper; http://www.phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper-275 When installing the driver chose custom and do not install the Nvidia hd audio driver.If it's already installed then disable it in device manager.This will rule out the known hd audio driver irq cionflict.Have look here; http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=586183

I've used CCleaner for registry cleaning for years and never had a problem,one of the best I'd say.It will give you the option to save the registry entries that you are going to delete so that they can be restored if there is a problem and it's free; http://www.piriform.com/ Have you tried testing and reinstalling pb with pbsvc?; http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php Don't know if Steam would cause a problem with pb or not.
