COD and Far Cry probs.

CDsDontBurn · Jul 19, 2004, 05:46 PM

Earlier today i went to play Far Cry (1.1) online just to try it out, and my system crashed to desktop. I was like no big deal. Started the game back up, went back to play online, and it again crashed to desktop; i was like whoa, this is weird. Then i went to play Call of Duty online, and my system just restarted. Anybody have any idea what could have happened? This has never happened to me before.

overheat?

CDsDontBurn · Jul 20, 2004, 09:18 PM

i've played the games offline no probs

no overheat issues. just restarted out of the blue

might be a memory problem as well....also, make sure your ethernet adapter is getting the power it needs.

CDsDontBurn · Jul 21, 2004, 01:44 AM

i don't think it's a memory problem. My memory i've had for almost a year already, and it's not over clocked.

Lchevy79 · Jul 21, 2004, 04:53 AM

are you clean of spy-ware and viruses only thing i can think unless you've been a bad boy

CDsDontBurn · Jul 21, 2004, 07:26 AM

My system is clean. I check my system weekly for both spyware and viruses weekly, or bi-weekly. However, i think this might be due to overheating now. Not to positive, and i don't think it is, but it might be a possibility.

I think it might cuz i just checked my system temps on idle (11:20pm right now everything at stock speeds! I had stuff overclocked earlier today.), and it's at 42C in this summer heat. During the day, i think it might reach temps of about 48C idle. But even still, load temps should not reach over 60C during the day. Right now my Athlon is being cooled by a thermal right slk-900, and a vantec tornado 80mm fan @ full speed (5800rpm).

I know what your problem is, that piece of crap system of yours. Do us all a favor, and please upgrade that thing you call a computer, thanks.

Did you install DX9.0c?

I think FuzzEh is right, Pac-Nub-- that computer is nothing to be proud of.

Thanks for your input. Now if you have the money to help him finance a new computer please do so. If you don't have anything contructive to say, please keep it to yourself.

EDIT: Great. I quoted and replied to a banned individual.

lol.....that was funny. Ummmm.....as to who this was, i'm pretty sure it was one of the guys from work. Everybody at work has a p4 3Ghz prescott, and i have an Athlon 2400.

I doubt it's overheating. My laptop reaches 65C when playing games, and it never has any problems. It used to reach up to 75C just a few days ago, before I blew out the dust from the inside. Even then, the games were merely hitching and low framerate, but it never crashed...
