all my wonderful PS problems

undetected · 2004-01-05, 01:04 AM

whenever something eventful happends (ie: me getting killed or me killing someone) the game freezes and i have to reboot my computer. And whenever i try to hack into enemy towers the same thing happends. When i try to enter a freindly tower same thing... so i try to stay away from any towers... which sucks cuz i cant capture them!

every time my computer freezes i get a BIG windows error message that says that one of my drivers or something is causing my system to be unstable! what the heck! please frikin help me.

im gunna install a new ge-force 4 video card. and the continents take forever to load... please what is wrong with my computer??

Go to either www.omegacorner.com or www.nvidia.com and download the latest drivers for your video card.

BTW: How much RAM do you have?

undetected · 2004-01-05, 08:34 AM

im not sure... i dont think i have alot
i know that will fix the problem with level loading but im more worried about the sudden crashes

dscytherulez · 2004-01-05, 10:45 AM

Well, yes RAM definately will help with the loading times, but depending on how much you have it might be the cause of the crashing. Anything below 512mb might cause some problems. Did you install those drivers? Any change at all?

I could be a driver problem(most likely), or a hardware problem too, Definatly try the Nvidia stndard 53.03's they are very stable from my use of them. Also try to get the specs of your computer to the best of your abilities

undetected · 2004-01-05, 05:59 PM

ok.. conputer specs...:
2.20 ghz intel celron processor
40 gb hard drive, Ultra ATA/100 (whatever that means)
intel extreme graphics 3d
256 mb DDR for optimal performance (yeh right)
56k modem thing (that i dont need cuz i have cable)
"Media reader 6-in-1"
Eathernet 10/1000mbps
(for my broadband connection)

NoSurrender · 2004-01-05, 08:56 PM

well first off your graphics are super low levels. you have the bare minimum which most people feel doesnt even make it playable. Personally, if i were u id get a new comp.

Ait'al · 2004-01-05, 09:50 PM

60 Decent Mid sized Case (Approximately)
180 Asus P4C800-E deluxe
250 WD Caviar SE 2500JD 250gig 7200rpm SATA
181 ATI 9600 XT
384 P4 3.2 512mb L2 cache
345 1gig Corsair twinx pro (2x512), Or 254$ for twinxLL with platinum or black heatsink, same size
205 SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro, less for the SB Audigy 2 ZS platinum.
197 Plextor PX-708A Black DVD(DVD/R/RW,CD/R/RW)

1450$-1616$

Im imaging these prices will be going down alot soon. The ATI 9800xt is only 435 at http://www.futurepowerpc.com/scripts...t.asp?Cat=VIDE

Do you guys think the new ram sizes will make a maxed out 32bit pentium obsolete in a year or will it take a few years?

Rbstr · 2004-01-05, 09:59 PM

ram over 1 or two gb doen't do anythig right now
