Computer Problems! please help!

[Angarato Koroshia]

So as you probly already know. I've been having alot of problems with my computer since a few days ago. Everytime I play DF it puts me back on desktop. game closes down without lag or error message whatsoever.

things Ive already checked:
Video card test.
Connection test.
Reinstalled DF.
Installed DF on different Harddrive.
updated all my drivers, directX etc.
Formatted PC.
Tried fullscreen and different shader options.

nothing seems to work. now this also happened in another game [Assassins Creed brotherhood] and that 1 gave an error but I couldnt read the details cause it disables my mouse and I cant click on the Click here link -.-.

someone please help me out. got any suggestions that might help please post them here. I really want to play again and rape some SUN with you guys

[Ether Rael]

www.ultimatebootcd.com has a memory test included - try that. If you can't be arsed doing that try taking out one stick of ram, then swapping it with another etc each time you start DF.

cant even get ingame at all anymore it crashes on loading screen now. ill try your link hope it works

[Effen Kortaan]

would probably help if you posted your full pc specs also what was the last things that you did the day before this started happening?


have you been into the BIOS and check that the RAM command Rate is set to 2T and not to 1T (this can cause crashes similar to those described)

also if its a fairly old pc it can often help to bump the voltage being supplied to various components by 5 - 10% (capacitor aging) if your motherrboard allows

Where's Zehtuka when you need him.

[Angarato Koroshia]

did the ultimate boot cd thing memory tests. all test passed 100% memory is fine. video card is fine. cleaned the dust out of my computer which made my overall temp in the case 20 decrees lower.

result: not a god damn thing. it crashed on the loading screen this time

[Angarato Koroshia]

ill check the BIOS. about the voltage changes. cant that cause problems if i do it wrong? dont want to fry my motherboard over this stupid game

[Angarato Koroshia]

k couldnt find anyway to change the things you said. tried to set voltage to "safe mode" which resulted in a beautifull blue screen of death when i tried to run Darkfall

error in win32k.sys

PAGE_FAULT_TO_NONPAGED_AREA

stop 0x000000000

[Sayton Reinhardt]

Did you do anything that might have caused the problem? Like installing new hardware or software?

Last week, for example, I decided to install ATI tools and that caused all my games to crash on startup.

[Angarato Koroshia]

i dont remember installing anything weird at all besides the patch.

now everytime i startup a game i get a bluescreen error. with a STOP 0x00000008e error or w/e

[Jaidyn Sothenic]

Open up event viewer and report what Event ID it is showing for your critical errors

This is a RAM issue!!!!!!!!!!

Again this is a RAM issue

[Effen Kortaan]

agreed, again i would usher you to check and loosen all the timings on your ram specifically checking the command rate (as well as up the voltage if at all possible)

[Alexander TheDutch]

put all on default

[Angarato Koroshia]

effen im a noob when it comes to hardware. how do I do what you just said.

You will have to go into the bios and fiddle with settings there, if your motherboard allows it.

I just grabbed the manual for your mobo, online here: http://keeran.com/ms7366.pdf

From sound of things on Mumble it might not be your RAM though - good luck dude.

[Angarato Koroshia]

so apperently 1 of my ramsticks was fucked. guess ill go buy a new 1 tommorow. but at least i can play!

anyway thanks all for the help to figure this shit out.

[Jake Dane]

Gz! :D
