i updated my nvidia-graphic-driver yesterday (197.45). today, i tried to start STO. shortly after the loading-screen an right before the character-screen my PC is completley shut-off. this happened twice already. does anyone know how to handle this?
alright. I installed the 197.25 nvidia driver AND had a feeling of updating the realtek-driver to the latest version. after this and the new season patch, I managed to get into the game.
BUT, if i enter a system, the pc will again shut itself down. what is going o here? can anyone help me out?
What are your graphics setting set at? Keep in mind that your video card is just slightly above the minimum system requirements so try running the game on the "low" settings and see if that changes anything.
I had a similar issue but not when entering a system. I had to uninstall all of my graphic cards information, the drivers the card itself even the folder it came in and reinstall from there. I too had a nvidia, but I am running a laptop. It still tells me that I need to update my graphic card but the game runs fine now.

Can you post a DXDIAG as well ?
