It's an antique system, no updates available. Even the new bits are obsolete. I'm pretty sure that's still the root of the problem. But at least I can play now until I get the new rig built. Waiting for the next tax refund.

What if we don't Twitter?

Check the drivers. We've had that happen a few times with our AMD card. Every time, updating or rolling back the driver fixed it.

Only two slots available.
I need to go into the BIOS and check the alpm setting. I've seen one post on the net of a guy having exactly the same problem with a completely different setup. He disabled alpm and it went away. -

No strawman. I was listing genuine contrivances that could have been used instead of the weak ones in the video. -
It's kind of strange that none of what the OP mentions from the video in question is really a plot hole or any more of a contrivance than what you would fins, as pointed out already, in any other book, movie, or game. Yet there is no mention of thin…

I don't know about the specifics in the OP, but I like the idea of making farming a bit more involved. Another possibility is to finally make the nutrient bar a fabrication item and give it a fairly complex recipe requiring several plants, maybe eve…

This will be the final update on this thread since there is nothing left to be done and, I fear, no way to resolve the issue.
I went with the nuclear option. As mentioned in my previous post, I bought a Q9650 to replace the Q6700 that ca… -

Mostly random. My issue is almost certainly due to the age of my system. Whatever workarounds I come up with aren't likely to help anybody with a rig less than 10 years old.
For what it's worth, even with clearing up sp… -
Just wanted to update this thread in case anybody with similar issues happened to be reading it. I am cautiously optimistic that I have resolved the problem. I spent quite a few hours yesterday playing a different game and had no crashes.
Every time I've tried it didn't work.(Quote)
Challenge accepted! I know you can't build inside the alien facilities but I've never tried building on one.(Quote)
I figured it out by trial and error. Something tells me there's room for improvement still.Some of these jokes have me feeling eel.(Quote)
I'll work on a video showing the technique. It's really not complicated, just time consuming.(Quote)
Is that a guess as to how I built it or an idea for a build of your own? It is like any other construction project, scaffolding is essential.Well, I'm making progress. Wife had another crash and I found a new program I could download that checks all the logs in the Minidump folder and gives a chart with a ton…(Quote) I've used DDU several times without noting any difference in performance. I don't see how it would help here, assuming this file is the problem, since this is a case of something not being installed at all rather than an older version lin…(Quote) Apparently not. I still saw it even while visiting the wrecked research station in the Lost River.
But the rest of the update is amazing. I think I've finally resolved my crash issue and can get back to playing seriously again…Well, I need to experiment some more still... but it looks like the issue may be solved. I just played for about an hour with no issues whatsoever.
Found a video that showed where to find the crash dump files (C:/Windows/Minidump/) and h…There's a built-in memory test that I have run. But I have not tried the fancy one. Mostly because it's not very convenient to use and I'm getting lazy in my old age.(Quote) It's not stupid to be unfamiliar with jargon.
By way of updating this situation, the crashes are getting worse. I get full crashes now sometimes, lose keyboard and everything and have to do a hard reboot. It's definitely not t…That makes sense, the game doesn't recognize the card and only has a single error message to display, "your card is too old". Doesn't really matter, I just thought it was odd.I know the feeling. My first (only, so far) build I used a dual-socket server board and maxed out a credit card getting all the shiniest bits Newegg and Tiger Direct had to offer. Then I bought the cheapest PSU I could find... because PSUs don't mat…I might look at the Dell option. But a huge part of why I build my own is just the enjoyment/satisfaction of the process and not the "I can do it better" factor.Upgrading to an SSD didn't fix it. We expect a decent refund on our taxes this year. A portion of that money is going to a full rebuild of the rig. That rebuild may include a new GPU. I might just build a whole new rig and then upgrade this one a bi…Gotcha. No need to experiment then. I already know it will crash at the next lower resolution.(Quote) Yup. I actually bought the card in part because it didn't need extra power. The original PSU didn't have an extra connection so I couldn't have hooked …Just did something I hadn't tried before. I ran GPU-Z while playing in windowed mode so I could see what was going on in real-time. Even during the load screen and while I had the game paused the GPU usage was almost constantly pegged at 100%. The m…
