rouge1 0 Posted March 12, 2004 hello. I keep having an contiunes problem with OFP it keeps reastarting my comptuer after certain amounts of gameplay. some days i could play for 5 mintues and it would do it. other times 1 - 2 hours and it would. I have all up to date drivers for all hardware and have tweaked all kinds of settings and tried older drivers but it keeps happening System Specs Graphics - Radeon 9700pro Soundcard - Sound Blaster Live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted March 12, 2004 Restarting like that...sounds like one of these possibilities: CPU fan/heatsink has too much dust , cpu overheats , puter reboots Power supply dusty/failing I would check the status of dust in your machine around those components,if those are dirty ,your video card prolly is too,just that a overheating videocard normally would just lockup rather than reboot A overheating harddrive also could cause reboots but normally would just lockup too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rouge1 0 Posted March 12, 2004 Alright i'll try that. just the weirdst thing is. that fact it only does it for OFP and other application/game works fine for hours if need be but when ever OFP is involved it just reboots when it wants to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gadger 0 Posted March 12, 2004 Try giving your comp a good "blow" (Around cooling fans and case vents). With the program rather than the computer crashing I'd guess this is a heat related problem. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evishion 0 Posted March 13, 2004 1: Have you overclocked ur 3D card ? I had the same problem when I oveclocked my card so much that it got to hot.. liekl 5 mins play then swhhhhhh..... restart... then I clocked it a little bit down, now its good as new 2: I had the same prob on my old comp to. but then the aswer was tha my "old" 3d card dident support HW T&L, then I took direct 3d, then it worked fine. If these opions are to help, Im not sure.. Hope u will find out the prob.. -DT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont remmber name for one but use google and search for memory diagnostic tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
