Guest Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I have a problem, I just installed gta3 on a machine running windows 2000, it has a geforce2mx200, its a P3 950MHz. I load the game then bout one minute later it crashes, and the machine completely restarts. This is without using your mod. Anyone know of any fixes... Thanks Joerulzall
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted April 22, 2003 MTA Team Posted April 22, 2003 hardware error. in stead of giving the bluescreen of death, win2000 ans XP restart automaticly
me Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Something similar happens to me with an Nvidia GeForce 3 ti 200... the screen freezes, and I have to shut off power to the computer. I've tried different drivers, and configurations, but I just can't seem to fix it. Check the GTA3 options, and make sure "frame limiter" is selected... your card might just be trying to do too much. If you still can't find the source of the problem, try switching around different components (I suggest starting with the video card). It's also possible you have a defective piece of equipment...

Guest Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 You might be able to pin down the problem. Right-click "My Computer" Choose: Properties->Advanced->Startup and Recovery Check off "Automatically Reboot" Check on "Write an event to the system log" You can later check the system log: Right-click "My computer" Manage->Event Viewer->System You might be able to pass that info back to the video card support people. Hope it helps.
Guest Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 I got the fix for it!!! LINUX!!!!!! AHH MUCH BETTER, HE HE

Most ppl don't understand blue screens, it is better and more easy for them if the pc just restarts
anzas Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 well they should at least ask at install if they want this option automaticly on or not Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict eat static!
-=WeSsW@Re=- Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 I have never had it with WinXP, strange... btw. I think Linux sux and Windows XP Rulez!! 100000000x better as 98 WeSsW@Re
Mr.Bill Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 well the dif between 98 and xp is that xp you don't crash, you freeze, but userally you can fix it so yeah it makes it better VCK: Vice City Killaz VCA: Vice-City Army Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict The blast section has arose! SPAMMERS UNITE!
me Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Unfortunately, sometimes it takes 10 mins just for XP to stop freezing, and it for every crash in win 98, there are 2 freezes in XP Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict I love the intelligent conversations we have in #nsmapping wait, did I say conversation?

CroxyBoy Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 Unfortunately, sometimes it takes 10 mins just for XP to stop freezing, and it for every crash in win 98, there are 2 freezes in XP XP only crashes when something is wrong (drivers, Bios) where as 98/95/me just crash randomly sometimes, when they have been on to long (bad memory management) or when it is least convient for you. I swithed to XP 3 months ago and insted of havin 10 crashes aday i get one a month Look a sig w00t
Mr.Bill Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 mind you occationaly I still have to restart but yeah xp is better VCK: Vice City Killaz VCA: Vice-City Army Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict The blast section has arose! SPAMMERS UNITE!
Robpol86 Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 i have winxp, before, i never ever got bsods and almost nothing crashed and it never froze. but ever since i got smp, bsod are everywhere! if i dont set the affinity of a 3d game to a single proccessor, it gives me a bsod after 45mins, and i must restart my computer after playing games or ill get a bsod after a while. im never getting smp ever again fu xerox, i hate you
anzas Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 win2k is the best, can't remember when it last crashed (though it tends to restart by itself when u alt tab in some games ) Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict eat static!
