mganik 0 Posted August 14, 2005 After a lot of trouble-shooting, I discovered that my CPU was overheating when running OFP ... and this was causing my computer to crash. Â It appears that my CPU is overclocked, and runs hot after about an hour of OFP. Â My solutions are: 1. Â Get a better cooling fan and better ventilation for the CPU/computer box. 2. Â Optionally lower the CPU speed. Â I thought I'd pass this on since it appears that others have crashing problems, and this could be another item to check. Â I discovered this problem when running a "PC Doctor" application to check voltages, another good thing to check. Hope this helps! Â mganik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 28 Posted August 15, 2005 Whilst it's a valid suggestion we don't need a thread about cooling, any PC user should check temperatures if they're having crashes, if they don't know to do that they should learn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
