Game runs perfect - without other Players

Driver: 7.1.8.4 of 24.02.2005

Uh, hah, a 1-year-old driver... itz much older than the GPU itsself, ain't it?

but maybe that's the secret, who knows.

Something more for my to-do-list

changing from 1024MB/DDR400 back to 512MB/DDR333 is increasing the performance

muhaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaa

got myself an old VGA driver - eh no....


Another thing was to modify the swap file in different ways. Neither increasing the size, nor changing the management - eh no

This evening I have the last option tearing out the GF6600 and plug in an old GF 5200 ultra (uha, an i've also found an old ELSA Gladiac 511 in my spare part box).

Hey, this topic is the 3rd most-looked-at!

[Urmel]

noooooooooooooooo Did'nt change anything....

And now? Doesn't anybody an idea?

[tZork]

Call an exorcist, yer puter is haunted >.<

what rails did you maeesure, only the 12v one?

[Urmel]

Na, I measured them all. Except the 12V who hadn't too big tolerances they all ran without any measurable current fluctuation.

My old FX5200 seems to be more tolerant with the fluctuation or whatever, it doesn't have that high performance like the 6600, anyhow I'll keep the 5200 inside for the next time. It makes the game kwite playable now and btw I'm fed up.

Wanna spend more time fighting against You my friend, not against my hardware

[tZork]

Yeh i understand yer fed up w this.. strange error. my money is still on the psu tho, but thats just a guess. its odd tho, usualy errors this seriose causes lockups and crashes..

[Urmel]

Damn now as You say it: I had those probs!

Simply dunnow anymore how I fixd em...... f*ck!

What problems do you mean? All? Is it working now? Or do i get something wrong??

[Urmel]

I can't believe it! I really forgot for a while about that! I had complete lockups in game, the hole system was standing still and some sound fractal was echoing then. Sometimes after an hour, sometimes after half a minute, sometimes not @all, and sometimes prevalently the whole evening.

Now that tZork mentioned it (I think he was the third one who did!!!!), I remember it. But I just have no idea how and when I fixed it. I was thinking about it the whole night! But I think it was at the time when the MSI GF5200 was built in. Now I've got my old Gainward GF5200 Ultra, and the game runs better now, although with the same symptoms like the GF6600, but not that radical.

The Gainward 5200 and the ASUS 6600 both have an additional 12V connector, the MSI had none. Maybe thatz y it caused lockups. So I have to observe the +5V supply.

Actually not necessary to say that I'm gonna run speedfan longer this evening, and my PC won't do anything else than running nexuiz. Too bad that there's no software that's measuring the voltage really continuous, this is not possible as it would take 100% from the CPU, no other app would run anymore. So if my PSU causes errors for only a nano second, no software could recognize that. So letz hope speedfan is fast enough to see when there's summin' wrong.
