Solve : GAME FREEZES OR CRASHES? |
Answer» We STILL haven't confirmed it as the problem. Try placing an external house-fan against the computer to cool it down - see if it still crashes.If it is an overheating problem Carbon, it is going to take me a bit of time to sort out. A lot of things point away from this my friend, one of them is my computer case. I recently upgraded my computer, new case as well. This case has more vents and air holes than the average. It's full of 'em! I had my eye on ventilation from the beginning here. In as far as I am aware, I have a decent fan arraignment also. This, together with the fact of the overall behavior of my machine with my other games and programs makes me wonder some. I ain't saying that you are wrong here Carbon bud, it is just that this fence is a bit high to jump right now is all. Keyword: TRY The key to troubleshooting computers is to try everything. If you try something, and it doesn't fix the problem, then we know to look elsewhere.I have again used my old Manchester tool here fella's and have taken measures to see that I am 'COOL MAN' lol Thanks again yous guys!you could use speed fan to speed up the fans thus increasing airflow and cooling your rig down I have that gizmo bud, but I am also looking into adding a fan or two also. Many thanks here! Listen guys, I just wanted to let you know and to pass the word around here with regard to crashing games. I have SOLVED my issue fellas and I will bet that my action here, if repeated, will solve a *censored* of a lot of these crashing issues. Carbon Dioxide was spot on here and so are those of you who said the same, or similar. First of all let me explain, that I have always kept my eye on the heating element of my machine ...or thought I did. When I BOUGHT this new case of mine, the number of places for fans and the fact that it looks like a COLANDER impressed me. Its a "Cooler Master"! The size of the fans already in the machine, also gave me some peace of mind. Yet I have been having loads of GAME freezing and crashing issues for the last few months now. Well, I have had another two fans fitted and brought the overall temp of my machine down by at least another 20 points! Guess what!...... No more crashing or freezing PROBLEMS lads ..NONE WHATSOEVER! My fans have been set up so that they suck in and blow out to keep a stream of cool air circulating in my machine. As I write this post, I can feel the draught coming out of all the spaces on the front of my desktop! So don't hesitate to fill your machines with these baby's lads... they are never a waste of money and THANKS once again here! |

Solve : nvidia fx5500? |
Answer» I think I'll just get a new comp. But thanks anyway . I'm at nVidia's Website, and I'd PERSONALLY RECOMMEND a GEFORCE of some kind. They've made GeForces for years, so a GeForce of some kind COULD mean an old banger with only 32mb vram from when Windows 98 reigned supreme heehee Just click "add poll"OK, fine, a GeForce in at least the 5 series, 6 or 7 best. |

Solve : a problem with KotOR on windows 7? |
Answer» i recently started playing KotOR and it was running smoothly, then, it started not actualling seeing my razer naga as a mouse, so i bought a cheap basic mouse. Then it would show the first two loading screens (lucasarts and BW corporation) then went black and showed my desktop; When this happened it showed up on the windows bar but when pressing Alt+tab or windows+tab wasnt showing up. ended up having to go to task manager and shutting it down. so, the only way i can get it work is just restarting my PC everytime it does that until it works. this was going fine for me until i had to leave the 3rd PLANET i had been to, no matter where i went it never LOADED fully (always a tiny slither not loaded), and then resorted back to the desktop problem. To fix this i have looked at other people's problems on the web and all of the ways to do it that i haven't tried are after a re-install. |

Solve : Screen messes up when going fullscreen on video games? |
Answer» So, I'm having trouble whenever I try to go fullscreen or close out of fullscreen on every game I play, and I can't change most of them to windowed mode. This is fairly annoying, and it happens frequently, though it doesn't happen every time. Most of the time, I have to restart the laptop. I can put the screen down and raise it back up, and it TEMPORARILY fixes the problem until I have to close out. Either that, or it restarts the computer. I have posted a picture below of what it looks like. Any help with this is appreciated. I have updated my video drivers, also. THANKS. I can put the screen down and raise it back up, and it temporarily fixes the problem Looks like the display itself is on its way out. CLOSING the laptop and reopening it is basicaly shutting off display and turning it back on. If closing and opening didnt fix it I'd be looking at a cooked GPU possibly. Options right now are to replace the display with an OEM part once you locate the correct part # or display and then search amazon or ebay for a good display to replace this display with. OR - Turn this computer into a desktop if you already have a spare display that can plug into the auxilary VGA port if this laptop has one and use that display instead. Sometimes you can get lucky and buy an exact model dead unit with a good display on ebay for AROUND $70 and swap display over and have other extra parts if needed later such as maybe good hard drive, optical drive, KEYBOARD etc for any parts needed later on. |

Solve : Alt tab crash? |
Answer» Whenever I alt tab out of some games they crash.... I know that the solution is to play on windowed, but is there any other solutions?Some games you can just use Windows Key on keyboard and get back to desktop WITHOUT them crashing. Whenever I alt tab out of some games they crash.... I know that the solution is to play on windowed, but is there any other solutions? What games in particular? Some games will let you minimize without issues. Some will do it sometimes, then other times won't. Some games just don't do it at all and will crash if minimized and brought back up. ASIDE from running them in windowed (or full-screen windowed) mode, there isn't MUCH that can be done. It just depends on if the game will run properly in the background or not. Quote from: DaveLembke on February 12, 2013, 03:05:11 PM I had issues with World of Warcraft Full Screen Mode after version 4.xx Cataclysm of the game because the game will disconnect you from the blizzard server if you minimize the game when moving in the game to different zones. Odd, never had that problem myself, and I'm often minimized when going to new zones, looking STUFF up and whatnot. I've never switched it out of full screen mode. |

Solve : Game crashes after clicking start button? |
Answer» Just recently a game I've played for awhile called Shaiya has begun closing for no reason after I click the Start button on the launcher. It is a private server that I play on that closes, along with another pserver I've tried. The retail version plays just fine. Like I said, I've played this before until I took a couple days break, where I returned to an update. After the update, that's when the problem occurred. What usually happens when I click the start button is a new window pops up and then proceeds to the log-in screen. Now, when the window pops up, my cursor changes to the one for the game, but the window closes without an error message. I've reinstalled the game, restarted my computer, and updated my drivers, still nothing. My system matches the system requirements for the game. Other people can still play, so I know it's not the server itself. I noticed when the game window isn't "selected" but rather I'm on something else, for ex. firefox or even clicked on my desktop, the game proceeds to the log-in screen, but when I click back to the game on my taskbar, it closes. I've played this before until I took a couple days break, where I returned to an update. Sounds like a client/server version mismatch caused by latest patch that is causing this crash. You need to run the version you had prior to match up to the server for it to start correctly. If this game is one that you are suppose to pay to play and private servers are illegal for this game, no further assistance can be given. Quote Sounds like a client/server version mismatch caused by latest patch that is causing this crash. You need to run the version you had prior to match up to the server for it to start correctly. How exactly would I do this? I ask this because the launcher automatically updates the game in order to play, and if I bump down the version, wouldn't the launcher just update it again? Quote If this game is one that you are suppose to pay to play and private servers are illegal for this game, no further assistance can be given. It's a free to play game, along with amazing PvP, but pay to win, which is why I started playing on pservers.The original game designers implemented this start up feature to keep people off of private servers and generate $$$. They offer the games for free online play and download as long as you connect only to their servers. When you connect to a server that is not theirs, its in violation of the EULA and the client itself even though free for download is not your property, but still the property of the company that owns it. Other MMO games like World of Warcraft etc have "SMART" launchers etc that act the same way to kill clients if they can not establish a request and response from their creator, they cry home to mommy and if they cant see mommy's response they crash out to desktop or show an error. And if you redirect the cry home to mommy to your home IP in your hosts file they are not satisfied because your computer is not the mother of the game. Meanwhile there are mommy impersonator services out there to mimmic the mother to make the client happy, these are extremely illegal! The version mismatch is the cause of it not running as well as the creator of the game may have patched intentionally to kill off clients connected to pservers.. I cant speak any further on this matter as for any more details might lead you on the correct path to circumvent the anti-piracy features if they are weak on this game, and I want no part of assisting with software piracy. All info stated so far is common knowledge among many programmers etc. Alright, I understand. Thanks for letting me know! |

Solve : Computer screen turns black when playing games? |
Answer» Well i have a Gateway FX p-7805u with a Intel core dueo cpu p8400 2.26 GHz 4 GB ddr3 memory and when i first got this computer brand new in 2009 it was amazing i would play video games like wow and RIFT and swtor at like 120 FPS but out of no where my screen starts to turn black while playing video games and so i looked some into it and they said with the gateway fx the cpu cooling gel sucks so i replaced that with nice quicksilver and it still does it so then i looked more into it and it says that downloading msi afterburn and selling your core mhz down lower would fix it and it does but only sort of what it does and when i do that my screen turns blank and then a error saysing your nvlddmkm driver has recovered and when i play games now i can barly hit 25 fps and lets all admit that is very *censored* when playing games with sparklys stuff and what not popping everywhere, so i started thinking what i did to anger my computer like this and i remember i did a bunch of misch stuff on my comptuer but i was like 17 soooo EHHH but i had like 3 down anti viruses on my computer the microsoft essentions kasperky and gamershield and i constly did full scanns but then i remmeber i down loaded some thing called uhhh advanced system care to quickly get rid of all my lil internet browsying history of the naughty stuff. i click the deep and i remmeber it changing my core values of a bunch of stuff to "help" my computer, and i think that where my problem lies maybe? and yes i did do system restart and compelely removed my video card even with the driver fusion and it still does it... the only other thing i can think of is maybe a power problem ? but i wouldn't mind getting some advice... sorry for the long read!!!!More than likely a faulty graphics chip, the mobile Nvidia 8/9 series which you have are notorious for this ESPECIALLY in laptops with less than perfect cooling which allows them to get very hot. |

Solve : CoD2 server? |
Answer» I'm trying to run a Call of Duty 2 server for my clan, and I can connect thru my LOCAL IP because I have a DSL modem (which forces you too connect to local IP). What the weird part is, some people can connect fine, I played with some people for a while. But some people can't connect, it just stays on : Awaiting connection.. 1 ..2 .. and so on. I'm POSITIVE the servers on the right patch and everything, cause it's on my COMPUTER and I can connect to different servers with people that cant connect to my server. I've turned off every single FIREWALL, FORWARDED all the ports needed, and some people still can't connect. I run my clans ventrilo, and it works great, everyone can connect. I tried running a TS one time, and the people could that connect to my server could, and the people that couldn't connect to my server couldn't connect to my TS (teamspeak). Any ideas? |

Solve : Which are you waiting to play more?? |
Answer» Command and Conquer 3 and Supreme Commander are both comming out in roughly the same TIME (December/January). I know im going to purchase them both. The screen shots for both of these games look STUNNING. Which one are you guys looking more forward to? command and conquer 3 all the way!!Yeah thats what I say too! Have you saw the video they have for it up? Heres the link if not http://www.gamereplays.org/cnc3/videos/e3_cnc3_extract.movIll be getting bout of them, and They'll Be Legal too!! (i know Shocker) i have just looked at Screen shots for it. I have noticed Westwood...and well now EA I should say has bounced back and forth between the Red Alert/Command and Conquer games. After C&C3 we will probably see an expansion back into the Red Alert universe. Honestly these games can never get old either. They have been doing a great job adding new element to each game. My only gripe with Generals was that the game lacked the videos before and after each mission. Those videos in Red Alert 1 and 2 were almost the leading FACTOR of you wanting to beat a mission just so you geta glimpse of what happens next. yeah i see what your saying. R0SSI've never even heard of Supreme Commander.It like a new version of Total Annihilationred alert is sweet!!! you can make an army of COMMANDOS and totally destroy!!! [smiley=evil.gif]Conscripts! Yay conscripts! For every conscript that dies in this noble crusade, a thousand more are willing to take up his place.I can remember in one of the Allies videos they aimed the camera right down the shirt of the girl that played Tanya...so blatent haha good good game Man, if Command and Conquer 3 is like Red Alert 3, ill be sleeping outside the store before the shipment arrives !!! |

Solve : comp crashes? |
Answer» Right first of all the problem is that my comp will shut down after approx 10 - 15 mins of game play on games such as half life 2, counter strike source, battlefield 2, the monitor suddenly goes black then a msg of RGB no input comes up, then it goes to stand by, my comp seems to still be running, as in the lights are still on, but i cant do anything, i've had a few mates who know a bit about comps look at it n they can't figure it out, its not the graphics card over heating, and my system is powerfull enough to run the games. i recently noticed that when i load my comp up it is only reading 128mb of RAM, which is well lower than i should have and i think would explain why it crashes on games that need 256 mb of RAM to run as mentioned above as it will run Counter strike 1.6 with no problems. I've tried testing the memory card stips independently and they are both running at 64mb. I have been told that i may be ABLE to sort it by changing something in the BIOS but i'm not sure what.

I've tried testing the memory card stips independently and they are both running at 64mb. I have been told that i may be able to sort it by changing something in the BIOS but i'm not sure what. OK, you have a known RAM problem that needs to get resolved first. Did this computer ever work correctly? If so what has changed? Is the RAM seen correctly in the BIOS? Download and run memtest (free at www.memtest86.com) on each chip for an hour and then all together for an hour. What happens? Assuming the RAM tests OK (removing and reseating is of course part of this drill) move ahead. Is that a legal version of XP? SP2 and all updates? Despite your assurance about the heat, what happens if you TAKE the side panel off and blow a fan directly in there while gaming? I am very suspicious of the no-name Chinese PSU. Not a brand I would get, but we'llwork our way to that. Those numbers were on the PSU I take it and not ACTUALLY tested with a meter? Do the above and post back.how do i check if the RAM is correct in bios?, with this mem test which target dikette drive do i choose? really i know very little about comps, so be gentlesorry also i've tested it with a house fan and these are the tested numbers for psu temps:- CPU - 32 Cels/92 far SYS - 22/72 Aux - 41/106 HDO - 30/86 Voltage VcoreA 1.42v VcoreB 1.03v +3.3V 3.50v +5VSB 0.00v +VBAT 0.00v Fans CPU Fan - 3131 RPM SYS Fan - 0 RPM AUX Fan - 0 RPM for this i used sensorview http://www.stvsoft.com/download.php?id=122 the target diskette would be A, sorry brain blockageAnd I am more worried about the temp on the graphics card than ANYWHERE else. You need to turn the house fan on HIGH and blow it in there and start to game AFTER the RAM problem is sorted out. Again, try the above - all of it. |

Answer» Hey guys I dont know if any of you here were ever into the team fortress classic games. But needless to say there is a mod comming out that runs on the same engine as Counter Strike Source does and it's called Fortress Forever. http://Http://www.fortress-forever.com they finally put up a video on the main page so you can get a nice glimpse of what you are in for. I think this is probably one of the best team based first person shooters ever to be made. PLENTY of PHOTOS for you to check out in the media section of that website as well as a web forum. this game is especially good for people that hate Counter Strike as do I. I think the problem with Counter Strike is the pace of the game...You go out get shot once and have to sit in time warp until the mission is complete or one of the teams is wiped out. So unless your a pro you PRETTY much sit as observing more than playing. Fortress Forever is going to be strictly respawn...you die you respawn in starting position(s)...USUALLY two per map inside your base. Well Enjoy |

Solve : Is it wise to upgrade from vista to windows 8 for gaming purposes? |
Answer» Hellow guys i have been running windows vista for a while now never had virus problems or any other problems besides sometimes getting 40 fps on games like BF3 and FC3 with everything maxed, so my Question is, is it worth upgrading to windows 8 for $40 dollars now ? or would i be better off going for windows 7 i only use my computer to play games like WoW - FC3 - SWTOR - GW2 - BF3 - Diablo3 - Starcraft 2, so yea i love games. thank you again guys in advance Neither of them is likely to result in an appreciable PERFORMANCE gain.thank you BC_Programmer, do u THINK it will be a good upgrade even if performance is not affected to take advantage of the $40 special ? Quote from: merlok on December 19, 2012, 06:30:59 PM thank you BC_Programmer, do u think it will be a good upgrade even if performance is not affected to take advantage of the $40 special ? If you want to upgrade to something, then Windows 8 seems like a reasonable choice; It's cheaper, and it's likely the direction Many Operating Systems will be moving in the future, interface-wise, particularly as touch-screen monitors slowly BECOME more prevalent. EDIT: you might want to check to see if there are Windows 8 drivers available for your system before doing so. Not having win8 drivers isn't a deal-breaker since you can install win7 or even win Vista drivers if you need to, but it's good to know.alright ill do that thank you again for ur time :-)Not a Vista to 8 upgrade, but a 7 64-bit to 8 upgrade... Just wanted to mention that my youngest brother upgraded to 8 and claims that its more EFFICIENT than 7, and he claims that he is getting better FPS in games. He is running a Core i7 2600K CPU I think 3.4Ghz with 16GB RAM and one of the more powerful GeForce video cards that requires the direct power taps from PSU. Unsure of the specific GeForce GPU model. He is edging me to upgrade, but I am sticking with 7 for now on my Athlon II x4 2.6Ghz and 4GB Ram because I hate the new interface that I have sampled on demo computers. My quadcore system is fast enough for me just the way it is and I am happy with 40-60fps with my ATI Radeon 5450HD 1GB DDR3 PCIe card on normal settings. I was going to have him run passmark benchmark for before and after upgrade comparison, but he was in a rush to upgrade to windows 8, so unless he puts 7 back on there is nothing to compare against to have actual values to compare against and share. |

Solve : Should I upgrade to a HDD or an SSD for recording purposes?? |
Answer» LATELY I have decided to UPGRADE my storage device in order to record videos more smoothly and plus I need more space, currently the write speed of my HDD is 50 mb/s, the reason for this is because I custom built my PC app. a year ago and when it came to purchasing a Hard Drive the floods caused prices to rise, so instead I bought a used 250gb mac 3'5 drive, this has caused the start-up speed of my PC to be considerably slow and my RECORDING fps to also be laggy and slow. So now I have decided to upgrade my drive for a better, newer one, but the question I have been ASKING myself is which type is better for recording at a high fps, HDD or SSD. I know SSDs how a higher write speed but have lower storage space for the price, so if I were to buy a 1tb HDD, would the fps of my recording be just as high as an SSD and which is better for the job? Also the budget I am on is roughly up to £110I am recording for gaming purposes, so the fps needs to be PRETTY high. | |

Solve : Dumb Down/ Slow Down AI's in Alien Arena FPS? |
Answer» So I installed Alien Arena FPS to try it out. Got my *censored* handed to me by the AI's selected the easiest mode, and still getting my *censored* handed to me in the arena death match. From being someone who used to own the arena's of Unreal Tournament 99 FPS deathmatches, the easy mode on UT99 was more forgiving when I started playing that many years ago with AI's. |

Solve : games for computers without graphic cards? |
Answer» please suggest some games for a pc without graphic card.with 3 gb RAM and core 2duo processor, win 7 64 bit, xperience index 3.4Facebook games run on integrated graphics, otherwise older titles that are HAPPY with 64MB of shared memory and Intel or low end GeForce Integrated GPU like 6150SE. If you looking for something more exciting than slot machines and farmville, I'd look at older titles. Good FPS on integrated graphics is UNREAL Tournament 99, and most games of the 2005 and older era will run on integrated without too much trouble. |
