warthogmadman987 Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 I have been having troubles playing any games in 3d. I really only play lockon but my brothers when on the computer playing other games say they get the same kind of problems. After any random time, the game will freeze and i can get random things on the screen. Usually verticle lines that are in many different colors or a checkerboard of squares also available in many colors. After some time, say 10-20 seconds, the thing either unfreezes and reloads the current point (at which time i have lost control and crashed), or the computer may restart itself, or i have to manually turn the computer off. My dad thought it the graphics card was overheating (a refurbished ATI X1800 series card). We got a new fan that has significantly dropped the temperature by 10-15 degrees at any time, and still the problem persists. My dad sometime in the near future is going to perform some tests that will stress the card to confirm his theory that it is the graphics card. Afterwards, he will switch from his computer to mine his Nvidia 7900 just to see if the problem will persist. We will them most likely have identified if the problem the graphics card or not. The only other thing that i think might be overheating is the ram, very new ram. (as in a month and a half) I just wanted to know what you guys think it could be, seeming that the problem happens consistently in lockon fc 1.12a that has several mods running in it. Aside from that issue, the other odd thing is that everytime i startup my computer, i get a popup saying Manual Configurator has blah blah blah... dont send or send error message? I alway reply dont send, but the thing is manual configurator is for my x52 joystick. I cant run a profiles without it. Does anybody think that this is my issue? If so how do i fix it? I have uninstalled the thing and get no error message, but i cant them use my joysticks profiles. Is there a way to run profiles a different way. Aside from this, i dont think this is causing my freezing issues. Can anybody help? System Specs below Thanks PS- I didnt post this in a different side forum because i dont have a lot of time right now before i begin to gut the computer so i wanted to see what advice i could get as soon as possible.
S77th-GOYA Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Sounds like the vid card is bad to me. Good luck with it.
VMFA-Blaze Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 It certainly sounds like you have a heat problem, how warm is the room that the computer is in, and is it close to a wall? My older system used to overheat and I finally removed and I'm now running it with out the side cover, this helped considerably... Also it could be your VID DRIVERS, have you installed new ones recently? You might try a RIP or something likethat and install fresh drivers or roll them back... Also try restoring your system to an earlyier time, If none of this works go to google and type in your issue, sometimes you can get some good results here... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
Guest IguanaKing Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 In addition to the advice already given, you should also make sure that all installed cards AND memory sticks are fully seated in their sockets. Another thing to check is the power handling capability of your rig's power supply.
