<div class="IPBDescription">enough is enough</div> I have had enough of this crashing, and tried everything I can think of to fix it.
I seem to Crash To Desktop around every 5 mins when playing NS, and have been since B4 was released. I formatted this morning, I have all the very latest drivers, Windows update is sorted, and 3 mins into my first game of NS I crash.
NS seems to crash like clockwork, I do have a random crash in other games, but very very rarely.
PC Specs:
(CPU) 1-AMD Athlon™ XP 3000+, 2171MHz, 512KB
(MB) Asus nForce2 A7N8X
(RAM) 1024MB DDR RAM (Crucial PC2700)
(OS) Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1 (5.1 - 2600)
(GFX Card) RADEON 9800 PRO - Secondary,
(Display) 1024x768/32bit/100Hz
(SND Card) SoundBlaster Live 5.1
I have monitored temperatures which seem fine (never above 45 degrees). I do worry that my Ebuyer 400w PSU may not be sufficient, but I am unable to test at this point. It MAY be faulty RAM as I haven't been able to check that either.
I am pretty confident that it is a software error tho as it only seems to be NS that crashes, and only since B4.
I also have these 2 files but they dont seem to yeild much info <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
