Weirdest thing ever O_o

I've posted this in the Fame forums a while back. Usually when it comes to player-to-player, it comes down to "ur a nub lol fail roflcopter soisoisoi"

Hopefully the RZ community could be a little more helpful.

Ever since I got my new computer running (Windows XP SP 3) I can't play Flyff

...well I can, but not without it going:

-Log in
-Gets in game
-Plays for 2 minutes
-CRASH-
-Blue screen of death
-Reset

It annoys the crap outta me and I really want to know what the heck should I do. I have never seen anybody else with this problem before.

It shouldn't be a overheating problem because it wouldn't crash like that, would it?

Anyway, what do you guys think I should do.

Thanks in advance.

reformat

Okay, being the biggest noob ever, reformat the drive?

install again ur windows or ur prefer OS

sometimes blue screen of death is just for error on the oss.. try to give details about the BSOD message..

if still continue try:

1.- install a diff windows
2.- read the message error
3.- maybe it can be hardware problem

Ugh /headdesk I don't wanna end up restarting windows again, I just transfered all of my crap onto this computer. So restarting it might take me a whole day :p

^^ is not that big deal ^^

ill try reformatting first ._.

reinstall windows onto the computer... If that does not fix the problem try another version of windows... i would say windows 7 because ME or Vista would need be close to a solution.

But like, here's the thing.

The computer I'm using right now I've used in the past. I've used the same harddrive as well.

Same with the video card, and RAM.

I just don't understand why it just goes up and crashes like that. It's very odd.

yes... but its sounds like there must be a virus or some kind of spyware... or maybe even some of the window files are corrupt in some way making your windows unable to process flyff correctly... reformatting may fix the problem

1. Scan the machine for spyware.
2. Update the video software and if needed the hardware (although not needed if played on it before)
3. Do NOT reformat. That is just stupid.
4. DEFRAG the damn harddrive and make sure everything is patched where you need it.

If you do all of those things and still the error persists, then I would reformat and clean install it. Then install FlyFF. Other than that I don't know what else to tell you.

Surprised no one thought of the video card update. and you call yourselves hackers. *scoff*

xDDDD

uhm read error msg,scan your computer, Update your drivers,uhm fix your registry, Call Microsoft and say there bunch of #@!#@!# uhm or use google xD

Hi did you install any new hardware before it started giving the BSOD?
Also what would be handy is the spec of your pc?
But like the guys have said you only need to reformate if all els fails so try defrag and scan your harddrive in safemood if poss.
I think avast can scan in safe mode!
Could be a virus and if it is then i am sure avast will find it.
Well i wish you good luck.

I would suggest updating your antivirus and scanning for malware first. Then, check for updates to the graphics card. After this, I would use a program like ccleaner to remove any extra crap and fix errors in the registry. Then, I would defrag the hard drive.

Then, I would try testing your graphics card by using a graphics intensive test (I think Nvidia has one for free on their site), if it crashes while this is running, your problem is the video card.

If that doesn't crash the computer, download memtest and scan the RAM using that. You'll probably have to put it on a CD or floppy and boot your computer into that to run the test.

If none of the above has solve the problem, try removing all peripherals except for the keyboard and mouse and try it. I once had a USB wireless adapter that would make XP crash for no apparent reason.

If absolutely none of this stuff has worked, I backup all your data and then reformat the hard drive.

Good luck! :D

Turn the resolution down and run in windowed mode, I used to have this problem all the time and thats the fix I found.

Ill try defragging/scanning first
Then running in a very low res at like 800x600. If it crashes then it has to be my harddrive.

If it only happens in games.

It's either hardware(Graphics Card) or software(Graphic Drivers)
else
It's either hardware(Over heating) or software(OS)

P.S. One common sign of over heating being the issue is when it boots back up the PC speaker beeps abnormally.

I'm narrowing it down to Software or the OS.

I'll probably have to reinstall windows again :p but luckily I have the GHO file so it would only take 20 mins. >.<

Never expected DD to help me out O.o ... or Glaphan ... or anybody O.o

Currently playing on a server with the lowest possible res. So far, no crash. So it narrows it down to my graphics card?

To 'narrow it down' go through windows event log and find the log of the actual BSOD/crash.

It has to be the graphics card. I can run Fame only at 800/600. If I run 1024/768 on Low Settings, still a crash.

that sucks. Graphics cards are the worst only second to a defective motherboard. You might wanna try running another game on high settings. If it's the graphics card, just about any game should crash when you stress the GPU.

Well, I was going to suggest checking the error log before anything else myself, but DD already suggested that. But that's still the best place to start in my opinion. And also Garvorious, one other thing it MAY possibly be, is the driver. I myself have had problems occasionally in the past with some newly updated Nvidia drivers and had to roll back to an earlier version to fix the problem. But also in those cases, my entire display was screwed up, so I never got to even get into a game before reverting to an old driver. So that's probably NOT your problem. but doesn't hurt to check still.

And also make sure your monitor supports your resolution, but if I'm not mistaken, that should NOT be able to cause a BSOD on it's own, if even at all. I'd start off by checking your error logs immediately after the crash like DD stated, and if you need any help deciphering them, post them here and maybe one of us can help you more.

another thing that people haven't suggest and can cause your trouble is you memory (i mean DDRAM) test them with a software that chack memory like "memorytest" on a bootable CD. If your memory make some error (red line in the test) then try to change your DDRAM. Those can also create blue screen of death because of corrupted value in the memory
