PC is crashing

by **zombie** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 17:00

I've problems with et, like the topic section says

. If I connect to a server (ps1) I can join, I can talk, I can do !listplayers etc. but If I go to play I get spawned I walk and after some secs (less than 30) my pc is crashing. Same with !listplayers. If I say !listplayers and I scroll up then my pc is crashing too. So I don't know what to do now........ I reinstalled ET, congigured my firewall etc. But the problem is still in.....

Does someone know a option ?

Howdy Zomb :-)

Wastl has a similar problem, but didn't get a solution too.

Check your Hardware (memtest etc.), maybe there is a problem :confused:

by **zombie** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 17:59

How do I've to check that? I'm not a PC nerd so

by **Xander** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 18:14

Huuum it's hard...

1st solution : stop playing ET :arrow:

Bah not good

So maybe try to add memory (RAM) to ur computer or switch off ur firewall...
But that's very weird it's true and i'm not specialist so... i couldn't help u...

Last solution : ask a new computer to Santa-Claus :arrow:

The better one

zombie download ati tool..
old times i have a same prob lool couse of your VPU recover is not working good...you see core and memory..lower a bit both in the ati tool and press ok. start play and all is fine.

This may be a stupid question, but usally finds the problem.

What do you mean crashes?

Does ET just close?

Your whole PC shut down?

Does it freeze up forcing you to reboot?

or something else.

and..

If you stay in spec can you move around, following players, etc without it crashing?

Spyka ask for good questions, this can help us to help you ! :wink:

but my first impression would be for the RAM, which you can test with this. it's simple to use and just take few minutes

by **Wastl** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 14:07

My prob is probably the same. If I join a server I can do a lot of things but when I start to walk --> pc is frozen (30 - 60 sec). After that I can start to play but with hard lags. If Ive played for 3 - 5 min the lags are away and I can play lagfree.

Ive got only a GeForce 2 :roll:

and my memtest (RAM) told me there is no problem.

by **mem** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 15:51

and how many RAM have you ?

to help a little, you can do that :

-make a right clic on 'My Computer', then 'properties'

-go on 'Advanced', then performances 'parameters' (french translation, maybe names are differents but you surely have something similar)

-again 'advanced', then 'virtual memory'. here, fix your memory on 'personalized' and set it to an high value (if you have lot of free space, 1500 be a good number).
FIX THE SAME VALUE FOR 'INITIAL SIZE' THAN 'MAX'
(sorry for caps, but that is really important !)

-ok for all, restart your computer.

this is on winXP, but is similar for all win OS, so if you don't have XP search a little and you will find this parameters.

and... this will not make miracles, just help a little :wink:

Edit : other important thing : let the virtual memory on your OS drive, if win is installed on c:, let the value on c: and NEVER divide memory on differents drives, that will crash your system

by **zombie** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 17:36

I've 512 MB ram

So I think that's enough

spyka: I can't spec players PC is crashing too. Not et is closing but my whole pc is crashing

wast: My pc isn't frozen for 30-60 secs. It's perm 'frozen'

by **Wastl** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 18:52

My english is not the best.
Means that without an end? You have to reboot?

by **zombie** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 19:37

Yes I've to reboot :S

by **Wastl** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 20:18

Thats crap...

Memnoch:
I've got 265 MB RAM.
And I dont know if you can help me because I dont understand you.

I'll need the help of Stormcrow (or someone else) to follow your instructions.

by **warren-the-ape** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 20:25

Does this happen at all servers/every mod Zombie?

I've noticed that ps1 with pb streaming on asks more from your system
than without pb or pb streaming.

Last week I even had a complete freeze at ps1 (no problem with other servers) but only at the start > pb initializing.

Maybe you can try:
- updating pb > pbweb.exe
- updating your videocard drivers

by **mem** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 3:37

Zombie, if what Warren advises you doesn't work, i recommend to you to check your hardware, in particular RAM and video card, but mother board to

Wastl, you don't understand words or what you have to do ?
if it's what you have to do, just follow what i said, it's very simple, everybody can do

by **BOWDOWN** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 14:15

Ok , it s not exactly same problem than you but i will tell you problem i had last summer. Last summer i ve assembley a new pc with new motherboard a k8n9 Gigabyte and news graphik cards PX6600 GT, all was ok, only problem : each time i connected ET and began to play , freezes happened and i had to reboot (it only happened with ET, all others games were OK), i tried all u can imagine, i ve tested memories, graphik card, .... and never find a solution, finaly i just changed my motherborad ( changed for ASUS k8N SLI Premium) and all worked. So for me , your problem can be from your motherborad, do u changed some parts of ur PC or did some updates? test parts of ur PC with friends PC , maybe it will help you, but it s hard to detect the origin of this kind of problems. GOOD LUCK

Other think u have to check is the temp of ur Graphik card.

ahh dam i have had that problem once...

Well i suggest you cool down your computer, that's why it crashes i believe. It gets overheated so it shutdown so it wont burn ^^

Help you computer to cool down then you can play

by **zombie** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 19:23

Updated PB (via pbweb) But that didn't help

To check my hardware,... what do I've to check? RAM or my video card? Or both?

by **BOWDOWN** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 19:35

Both, but the problme is rarly from Rams, to test ur RAMS u can use Memtest86 (it s a little hard to use, so serach for a manual in ur language), for graphik card u have some softwares (3D Mark 05,...) but the easiest solution is to test it with other PC. U can also use a benchmarks software to test ur motherboard.

by **Damelon** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 19:50

just why i sayd download ati tool

some players remember old times i disconnected for nothing...well..thaqts crash..
you got hard problem zombie but you need to download AtiTool 0.25 beta 10 (search it on torrent or emule) download and you can lower ur videocard memory and core..do it lower it a bit and try to connect to ps1
it will help..as i sayd i have that prob too but i fixed it with this program.now i uses this prog in the game too for having a non crashes fully good game

by **zombie** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 18:07

*beep* computer is still not working! I did what holly said: I lowered my core with 46,75 and Memory with 70........ Getting sick of this piece of trash

can someone translate this in german for Wastl please ? :wink:

Edit : lot of thanks !ce !

by **icefrost** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 20:46

translate mode on:

Um Dir ein wenig zu helfen, kannst Du das tun:

- mach einen Rechtsklick auf Arbeitsplatz -> Eigenschaften

- klick auf Leistungsmerkmale, dann auf Leistungen Parameter

- Nochmal auf Leistungsmerkmale und dort dann auf virtueller Arbeitsspeicher. Dort klicke auf "Es gelten benutzerdefinierte Einstellungen fÃƒÂ¼r den virtuellen Speicher" und trage einen hohen Wert ein (wenn du viel freien Speicher hast ist 1500 ein guter Wert).
Ãƒâ€žnder den Wert ebenfalls fÃƒÂ¼r die AusgangsgrÃƒÂ¶ÃƒÅ¸e Maximum.

- Starte deinen Computer neu.

- Diese ErklÃƒÂ¤rung gilt fÃƒÂ¼r Windows XP, aber mÃƒÂ¼sste sehr ÃƒÂ¤hnlich mit allen Windows Betriebssystemen sein. Wenn du also kein Windows XP hast kannst du ebenfalls suchen und du wirst den richtigen Wert finden.

Das will jetzt nicht viel ÃƒÂ¤ndern, aber es ist in jedem Fall eine kleine Hilfe.

Edit: Auch sehr wichtig: Lasse den virtuellen Arbeitsspeicher auf deiner OS Festplatte, wenn Windows also auf C: installiert ist, benutz auch den Wert C: und verteile niemals Arbeitsspeicher ÃƒÂ¼ber mehrere Festplatten, dein System wird dadurch abstÃƒÂ¼rzen.
