I'm having issues with 2142, in that it freezes to the point it requires a restart.
This occurs about 3/4 of the way into a game.
It only happens for 2142.
Bioshock, Crysis demo, HL2 (all versions) and Oblivion all run fine.
My specs are:
AMD Athlon64 4000+
2GB 667 RAM
X1950GT
500GB and 160GB hard drives
XP Home
Everything is running stock, since the first thing i did when it froze was remove all overclocks.
This is a fairly new issue, when i first made the comp, it would play fine. I think it was about the time i got the seccond hard drive that it started crashing. (may not be connected, since that's only a rough time)
I was originally thinking it was a heat issue, since it takes a while for the crash to happen, but i've been checking each component, and the all seem to be within functioning temperature.
CPU stayed at around 50 degrees i think
Graphics card at 60 degrees
I found that the hard drives got mighty hot, but i took them out and had a desk fan blowing on them, but it still froze.
I also had 2142 installed on both hard drives, but it still crashes on either.
Uninstall/Reinstall seems to grant me one full game, but i've only tried that once, and it may have just been luck, or the game having already been well underway.
To check graphics card, i set all settings to low/minimum, and even that froze about the same way into the game.
My other ideas i haven't tried yet are:
-Possibly dodgey PSU that came with case (i'd think that would mean other games crash too, but i've got a higher quallity one set aside for my better comp i'm building a bit later in the year)
- Possibly dodgey RAM, since 2142 stresses the ram pretty hard
Any ideas about what's causing it? (aside from 2142 being poorly made)
