You don't list any hardware you have, or what the BSOD says, or give us any information that we can use to help you.
What version of warzone ? What video card? Did you update drivers?

The crystal ball is still broken, so we can't use that.

Hi

i'm sorry i fagot to list the specs they are:
1gb of ram
an intel celeron processer
a graphics card that does not support open gl
windows vista OS (home edition)
and i upgraded my moniter and it is in 1080p
and a 74 gb hard drive
The BSOD says some weird code but i do not have enough time to read it
and i have the latest version of warzone
all my drivers are updated
and I don't know who made my video card

Celeron is pretty low end. I am guessing a intel integrated chipset as well, since that is what they use on low end machines.

If it don't support openGL (highly doubt this) then you can't play the game at all. It would be way too slow.
Usually, the issue is video drivers, check intel's site for newer (of beta) drivers.
That is about all you can do.

By the way, even if his hardware is too low for this game, shouldn't the game detect it and throw a warning, instead of causing an unhandled exception?

On the other hand, the only times I've seen this Blue screen were when my basic hardware was damaged (Motherboard and memory) ...

Try to open up your cpu, take out the graphics card, rub an eraser on the contacts, clean it with dry cloth, and place it on position again. Blue screens are often caused by bad contact...

That's it! "He fagot" xD
heheheh, that blue screen... it's teacherous.

Blue screens are always a result of bad hardware or bad drivers. Have you experienced any other BSoDs recently? What is the common factor? I suggest trying to swap your video card with another one (a friend's or somesuch) and see if the problem persists, though with your limited knowledge of computers, and what reads to be a pretty sucky system you might be better off just getting a new machine altogether.

I call that the "old-fashioned" solution for all sorts of problems, hard & soft
I'm in need one of those solutions for a long time now, with a 7-year old "fancy typewriter" type PC

yeah i do need a new machine this one is four years old O_O
and i need a new hard drive
(i mean 74 gb i could fill that up in 4 days)

That should be one hell of a monitor to what it seems to be one piece of.... machine. Sorry, I must agree with Rider, get yourself a better hardware... your life will improve in ways you cannot imagine. ^^
Cheers!

a graphics card that does not support open gl

There is your problem. WZ is an OpenGL game.

OpenGL cards are cheap. If this is an onboard chipset, get updated drivers; turn off Aero theme.
