when i play a few choice games, i always get unexpected errors in the middle of the game. it loads and plays perfectly fine, but then just crashed. games are comand and conquer generals and roller coaster tycoon 3 and they are legit store bought copies. i have a imac g5 1.8 ghz with 768mb of ram, so i doubt the machine cant handle it. i dunno what to do , but its really pissing me off. i have no clue whats going on here

solutions i have tried include
--closing all other programs and then running game (i thought it might have been a software conflict)
--re-install
-re-start a bunch of times

this is part of the error that comes up in the dialog box
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000

Does this only happen with that one particular game? I say this because most kernel panics are because of HARDWARE issues. It maybe your video card is failing to handle the 3D graphics, or it maybe just the one program. You have to play detective!
 
its only those two games, command and conquer and RCT3. it makes no sense cause i can play other games just fine. heres my graphics card stats anyways
